I am linking to this from Powerline just because it’s funny. Some people will look for any excuse to take their clothes off in public. In this case its to save the bulls. No seriously … nude Australian women stripping for Spanish bulls. Really. I’m not kidding.

The Democratic NAFTA histeria once again ignores all of the facts. But when you are trolling for votes, as we pointed out yesterday, why let facts get in the way of a good story.

NAFTA supporters — this page among them — usually respond by pointing out that 39 million jobs outside of manufacturing have been created in that time in the USA. Even Ohio has seen a net gain of 900,000 jobs, including 60,000 in finance, 80,000 in professional services and almost 190,000 in health care.
The reality is that NAFTA has relatively little to do with either the overall job losses or job gains. China is a far larger factor. But the number that best displays the nonsensical nature of the debate is 66% — the increase in the manufacturing output of American industry since 1993.

HotAir links to an interesting story on the Democrats attempt to add more stimulus dollars for distressed homewoners. The only problem is … its not for distressed homeowners.

first of all, it would have continued what we started in the end of last year, foreclosure prevention counseling dollars, to give money to organizations around the country that are certifiably expert at this, organizations like La Raza. I know the presiding officer knows that group. We know also the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now, known by the acronym ‘ACORN.’

Angelina Jolie (yup, that Angelina) has just returned from a humanitarian mission in Iraq and has penned an interesting op ed this morning in the Washington Post. This is her second trip so there is a frame of reference.

The Iraqi families I’ve met on my trips to the region are proud and resilient. They don’t want anything from us other than the chance to return to their homes — or, where those homes have been bombed to the ground or occupied by squatters, to build new ones and get back to their lives. One thing is certain: It will be quite a while before Iraq is ready to absorb more than 4 million refugees and displaced people. But it is not too early to start working on solutions. And last week, there were signs of progress.

Sgt Wayne Lyde from Washington State wins a million bucks … what’s he doing next. Going back to Iraq. The Sgt has already done two tours and he told the folks on Fox and Friends this morning he just wants to do what is right and be with his buddies.

Here’s the story on ABC News …

and here’s the audio interview this morning on Fox and Friends.

Having trouble with audio … will have it up after the show.

The cover was actually blown before Drudge brought it to international attention. But I still have a problem with this. The Prince is clearly a target and revealing the story didn’t just compromise the Prince but also his buddies in arms. Here’s audio of the Prince this morning from Fox and friends.

Having trouble with audio right now … will have it up after the show.

This from HotAir … great news. When America believes … it happens. The Democrats don’t believe which is why they are running away faster than AQ in Iraq. As my friend John O’Neill told me one night at dinner, “The Democrats had been hurry up and surrender before we win this war.”

I could be wrong … but it seems to me the Democratic party has a HUGE problem with race. 

I had not heard this, but Karl Rove quotes Barack Obama from September of 2004 where he is in favor of the surge. I thought he was against the war from the very beginning. I thought his position on the war has never wavered. Listen to it all. Just to put it in context, O’Reilly’s question is “Isn’t a good strategy for Obama to say the Bush strategy has fowled it up and we need to get out.”

Defending Obama on Defense is pretty rich. Andrea Mitchell on Hardball tonight defends Obama’s “I’ll send troops to Iraq, if AQ is there” comment which actually is pretty undefendable. Good for Chris Matthews here. He calls her on it. My favorite is Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post, “Obama was hawkish.” I guess in their world he is.
