Are Iowa and New Hampshire More Important Than Tsunami Tuesday?
I wonder if the winner or someone who comes in a close second in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary will have momentum on their side that February 05, 2008 or ''Tsunami Tuesday'' won't matter?

Guest Worker Program: It's Amnesty!
Bush and Kennedy want a comprehensive immigration reform package just like last year which is amnesty for illegal aliens. Do they actually believe that these ''temporary workers'' will return to their native lands after completing their work visas? I've got a bridge that I will sell you in Brooklyn...
