And according to them, declaring war can be simple and fun: If a country thinks evil things about the US, why, they've declared war, and we must immediately fight them to the death (and maybe somewhere in there figure out how to win, because that's probably a good idea too). [Heritage Foundation ]

Thursday, March 4: In a 'whodunit' approach to solving our job loss issues, the New America Foundation wants to know who is responsible for this whole unemployment fiasco. Survey says: weak anti-trust laws, President Bush, unicorns, and puppies. [New America Foundation ]
