The empire's hypocritical politics  —  IT would be dishonest of me to remain silent after hearing the speech Obama delivered on the afternoon of May 23 at the Cuban American National Foundation created by Ronald Reagan.  I listened to his speech, as I did McCain's and Bush's.
David Carr / New York Times:
The Wars We Choose to Ignore  —  Gen. John A. Logan was a Union officer, a fierce Republican partisan, an early advocate of the kind of volunteer army the United States now fights wars with.  He is also one of the people credited with coming up with the holiday that we celebrate today.
New York Times:
Mr. Bush and the G.I. Bill  —  President Bush opposes a new G.I. Bill of Rights.  He worries that if the traditional path to college for service members since World War II is improved and expanded for the post-9/11 generation, too many people will take it.  —  He is wrong, but at least he is consistent.
Kenneth P. Vogel / The Politico:

Jane Hamsher / Firedoglake:
Will McCain Make A Play For Hillary's Female Suporters?  —  I was watching a clip of Geraldine Ferraro on Fox News the other day, and the ground is definitely being tested for an appeal to Hillary's female supporters who think she's been done wrong.  (We'll leave aside the supreme irony …
Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish:
Why Krugman Is Wrong  —  In his column today he suggests that two Clinton “gaffes” are inventions of the media and/or the Obama campaign.  Only when wrested from context is that in any way plausible.  In context, the response to what the Clintons were saying both times is perfectly understandable - and the Clinton implication ugly.
Dallas Morning News:
Dallas Republican proposes cure for what ails GOP  —  WASHINGTON - The last time House Republicans were this lost, they turned to Newt Gingrich to lead them from the wilderness.  He put together a Contract With America to give voters a clear way to distinguish the D's from the R's.
