Sep. 27, 2009Former Secretary of State and retired four-star Gen. Colin Powell met with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office in mid-September to discuss the looming question of what to do about Afghanistan.

Video disses pimps, proves gullibility
Sep. 23, 2009I have enjoyed the hectic media buzz surrounding the widespread condemnation of ACORN - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - workers over the last few weeks.
