Third Party, Anyone?

With election season rapidly approaching, Congress (both houses, both parties) is struggling to appear relevant by wanting to investigate oil companies for price gouging. Of course, the fact that gas prices are now going DOWN will not deter them. Similarly, both sides of the aisle appear to be courting the illegal immigrant vote, although the Democrats are a little more blatant about it. Here's a thought: How about investigating the illegals and protecting our borders. Oh, and while you're at it, how about talking about the good things going on in Iraq.

Ann Coulter has an article that nails Congress and the professors. Good job, Ann.

Coming up, soaring prices at the colleges. Who's to blame? How can you keep your child in college and cash in your wallet? And Harvard outrage, big education makes big bucks, but we pay the price. So should President Bush limit prices? ...
