10. Evans-Novak Political Report
By Robert Novak
The all-night session of the Senate scheduled by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not achieve the 60 votes needed to actually pass a troop-withdrawal motion. But it does meet the Democratic goal of stressing the Iraq fiasco -- the principal reason the 2008 election prospects are so bleak for the Republicans.
9. A Duel: Thompson and Romney
By Jen Rubin
On Saturday Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney ventured to the Young Republicans (YR) convention in Hollywood, Florida and we got a preview of two different types of candidates.
Thompson offered a "red meat" speech-playing to the emotions of the young crowd and pulling out crowd pleasing lines.
8. Michael Moore and Bill Clinton: Birds of a Feather
By Ericka Andersen
When a liberal complains about media bias, you know you've asked a question they don't like. And they don't like anything that challenges their dogma.
It's understandable that Bill Clinton would want to discredit Fox News, but why would Michael Moore have harsh words for CNN's Wolf Blitzer?

7. Sen. Vitter Outed As Heterosexual: Heterophobia Feared
By Mac Johnson
Washington was rocked -- ROCKED -- this week when it was revealed that Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, is a practicing heterosexual. The news came as part of a larger bombshell, as Vitter's name was revealed to be on the client list of the so-called "D.C. Madam" (who is apparently not Nancy Pelosi, by the way, but a physical prostitute.)
6. Attacking the Messenger: The Left Unhinged by The Fox News Channel
By Martha Zoller
"If Home Depot is serious about protecting the environment, they must stop advertising on Fox -- a network that consistently spreads misinformation about and denies the existence of global warming," says a petition on foxattacks.com.
5. Valerie Plame's Testimony
By Robert Novak
Rep. Tom Davis, ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is puzzled by the House Intelligence Committee's claim that Valerie Plame Wilson has been consistent in her sworn testimony. He is asking the Intelligence Committee for documents to back up their contention.
4. Follow the Yellow Streak Road
By Jed Babbin
Betty Williams, who received the Nobel Peace Prize for helping start peace talks in Northern Ireland, said the other day, ""Right now, I could kill George Bush." Though the New York Times isn't suffering that bad a case of Bush Derangement Syndrome, its July 8 editorial said:
"President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have used demagoguery and fear to quell Americans' demands for an end to this war. They say withdrawing will create bloodshed and chaos and encourage terrorists. Actually, all of that has already happened -- the result of this unnecessary invasion and the incompetent management of this war.
This country faces a choice. We can go on allowing Mr. Bush to drag out this war without end or purpose. Or we can insist that American troops are withdrawn as quickly and safely as we can manage -- with as much effort as possible to stop the chaos from spreading."

Free Book: Why Free Markets Work
In Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't, economist and bestselling author John Lott fearlessly confronts the profound distrust of the market (exemplified by make-a-buck pseudo-analyses like the book Freakonomics) that has spread even among the citizens and governing elites in America and other wealthy, free nations -- despite the proven success of the free market. Lott explains why the U.S. economy embodies the best, most creative, and most honest aspects of our society -- as long as people have the freedom to act on their own incentives. Showing the logic of free market economics through clear and hard-hitting examples, Lott details how countries that have stuck with the free market have prospered, and how giving people the chance to improve their own economic condition helps to make societies wealthier overall.

3. Tonkin Gulf II and the Guns of August?
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Is the United States provoking war with Iran, to begin while the Congress is conveniently on its August recess?
One recalls that it was in August 1964, after the Republicans nominated Barry Goldwater, that the Tonkin Gulf incident occurred.
2. The Prince of Darkness
By Patrick J. Buchanan
"Come here," Richard Nixon whispered.
I did -- as Nixon peeled the curtain back to reveal a group of reporters gathered for his press briefing.
"There," Nixon nodded. "That is the enemy."
Nixon had directed my attention to a swarthy fellow seated in the front row, separate from the rest, who seemed to be scowling, but at no one in particular. It was Robert Novak. That was 40 years ago, in Indiana, in the fall of that Republican year of 1966.
1. The 'Bumper Sticker' That Blows Up
By Ann Coulter
For six years, the Bush administration has kept America safe from another terrorist attack, allowing the Democrats to claim that the war on terrorism is a fraud, a "bumper sticker," a sneaky ploy by a power-mad president to create an apocryphal enemy so he could spy on innocent librarians in Wisconsin. And that's the view of the moderate Democrats. The rest of them think Bush was behind the 9/11 attacks.
