Another sign of an economy that is in trouble, as more people default on car loans.

The shooting of 8 religious students in Jerusalem may spark a vigorous Israeli response, which is why the latest peace plan, like all the others before it, is doomed to failure.

The Democrats are desperately trying to find a way to prevent their Presidential nomination process from going all the way to the convention. I'd wish them good luck, but I wouldn't really mean it.

That the delegate math just doesn't add up for Hillary winning the nomination is something most people have talked about over the last few weeks. The math problem facing Barack Obama is getting less interest, but it may be the one thing that allows Hillary to win the nomination.

At least one foreign observer believes Hillary ought to be the choice for the Democrats.

E.J. Dionne is yet another Liberal columnist upset by how things are going for the Democrats.

But it is Jonathan Chait, writing in The New Republic, who has the best paragraph I have seen yet about Hillary Clinton's maniacal pursuit of the Presidency.

Clinton's path to the nomination, then, involves the following steps: kneecap an eloquent, inspiring, reform-minded young leader who happens to be the first serious African American presidential candidate (meanwhile cementing her own reputation for Nixonian ruthlessness) and then win a contested convention by persuading party elites to override the results at the polls. The plan may also involve trying to seat the Michigan and Florida delegations, after having explicitly agreed that the results would not count toward delegate totals. Oh, and her campaign has periodically hinted that some of Obama's elected delegates might break off and support her. I don't think she'd be in a position to defeat Hitler's dog in November, let alone a popular war hero.

As Dick Enberg might say, "Oh My!"
