...my heart is heavy with this e-mail forwarded today from my friend Col. Harry Riley,(ret.) founder of EaglesUp.

Also from the Outrage Inbox, read the story of yet another Marine persecuted by the government over what appear to be false allegations at PatDollard.com

Folks, keep an eye on this story. It looks like another government witch-hunt, from where I sit.

I may be re-thinking my current love affair with JetBlue Airlines.

Explanation of this photo-shop is linked here.

Never in my adult life-time would I ever imagined I would write these words - "poor Hillary." Boo.Freaking.Hoo.

But it is kind of pathetic to see this power-hungry, grasping woman so utterly fail to connect with the all-knowing, all-seeing, all self-important purveyors of public opinion--MSM.

Even her loyalistas like Terry McAuliffe are stating the obvious: Obama be Da Man.

As Hillary racks up another win today in West Virginia, the campaign is stalling, fund-raising is down, and even her friends are suggesting exit strategies (offering help in paying off her campaign debts) while Democrats keep jumping over to the most liberal Democrat candidate in American history, Barry Hussein Obama.

The good news is America will finally be able to shrug off her despicable, narcissistic, and thorougly annoying husband Bill. It's refreshing to see that even Democrats are exhausted by the Hill -Bill(ies) from Arkansas.

I am still waiting, though, for the October surprise. In May. The Clinton operatives will pull something out of their vast files gleaned from the oppo research crews working 24/7 to discredit, er, illuminate the public about BHO.

...can't wait for that!

Over at Pajamas Media, Drunk-Blogging from West Virginia hoists an adult beverage while analyzing the race.

Meanwhile, race continues to be the determining factor in the formerly colorblind Democratic party:

Racially motivated voting appeared to be running higher than usual: Two in 10 whites said the race of the candidate was a factor in their vote, second only to Mississippi. And only a third of those voters said they’d support Obama as the nominee against John McCain, fewer than in other primaries where the question has been asked.

It looks like the chickens of multiculturalism have come home to roost. Boston.com’s Foon Rhee notes the same problem and says:

Among those supporting Hillary Clinton, just 36 percent said they would vote for Barack Obama in November, while 35 percent would defect to Republican John McCain, according to the exit polls conducted for the TV networks and the Associated Press.

Among Obama voters, barely a majority, 51 percent, said they would vote for Clinton in November.

John Fund at The Wall Street Journal re-posts an excellent analysis from Michael Crowley.

"The Clintons find themselves victimized and under siege. The presidency is being stolen from them. The press is out to get them. They deride elites and champion the masses. They live in a constant state of emergency. But they will endure any humiliation, ride out any crisis, fight on even when fighting seems hopeless. That might sound like a fair summary of how Bill and Hillary Clinton have viewed the past five months. But it also happens to describe what, until now, was the greatest ordeal of the Clintons' almost comically turbulent political careers: impeachment. That baroque saga hardened the Clintonian worldview about politics and helps to explain their approach to this brutal campaign season. The Clintons have been here before, you see. They're being impeached all over again" -- columnist Michael Crowley, writing in the New Republic.

Not to pile on or anything (I have never been accused of that in reference to the Clintons!) but nobody seems to be picking up on Mrs. Bill Clinton's OWN Pastor problem.

The Paul(istinians) are scheming to disrupt the GOP convention. How nice.

The LAT reports that they do NOT like John McCain. Who would have guessed?

I (generally) dislike the supporters of Ron Paul. For the most part, they are crazed people who subscribe to the 9/11 Truthers theory that America is somehow responsible for the Jihadists driving airplanes into the Pentagon, a field in Pennyslania, and our towers in New York.

Plainly speaking, they are nut-jobs. They e-mail me all the time with their half-baked conspiracy theories, and almost always aggrevate me.

Meanwhile, Human Events reporter William Moloney says history is on the side of the GOP.

Well, it's ONE view for the GOP to hold onto as Obama-maniacs gather Big Mo.

Roger Simon reports that Senator McCain has a formidable political threshold to cross....beating his old nemesis George W. Bush.

The most wonderful news has just landed in my e-mail! I am so thrilled and proud of Patti Patton- Bader, founder of Soldiers Angels.

Move America Forward, the largest grassroots pro-troops organization in the country, used our e-mail list to acknowledge Patti for her amazing efforts. But I doubt she needed our help, because her story is so phenomenal, that even the MSM couldn't deny her a richly deserved honor.

May 11, 2008, PASADENA, CA –Soldiers’ Angels founder Patti Patton-Bader was named "America’s Favorite Mom" in a primetime television show Sunday night on NBC. Sponsored by Teleflora and hosted by Donny and Marie Osmond, the show highlighted fifteen outstanding mothers who had distinguished themselves in categories ranging from Working Moms to Military Moms and "Non-Mom" Moms.

Humbled by the honor, Patton-Bader is thrilled to be able to use it to continue the Soldiers’ Angels mission of "May No Soldier Go Unloved." As the grand prize winner, she will receive $250,000, a set of household appliances, and other valuable items. Patton-Bader hopes to apply the winnings to her plans for a small ranch that will allow newly returned soldiers to relax with their families after deployments.

"I really am lucky to know so many heroes in my life," said Patton-Bader, who herself has two sons in the Army, one currently deployed to Iraq. "Whether they are the troops who serve our country or the amazing mothers here on this America’s Favorite Mom program, I am honored to be in the presence of such inspirational people and also am humbled to know that America thinks the same of me."

Patton-Bader is also excited about the opportunities this platform gives her to help people learn more about America’s military heroes and options for supporting them and their families. The attention she has received through the America’s Favorite Mom events has already drawn a number of new volunteers who want to use their talents and connections to help support the troops.

In a nationwide online poll last March, Patton-Bader was voted "America’s Most Inspirational Mom" after having been nominated by her eldest son for founding and leading Soldiers’ Angels. On May 5, 2008 she appeared on the Today show as one of three selected finalists in the "Favorite Military Mom" category. A nationwide online poll was again conducted, and the results were announced on May 11, 2008 with Patton-Bader being named winner in both the "Favorite Military Mom" and "America’s Favorite Mom" categories.

Soldiers’ Angels operates internationally to provide letters, care packages, and comfort items to the deployed, and support for their families at home. They also provide assistance to the wounded, continuing support for veterans, remembrances and comfort for families of the fallen, and immediate response to unique difficulties.
