In what is becoming more amusing, the leading Democratics candidates for President continued their mud-slinging in a South Carolina debate last night. The Wall Street Journal has an article on it.
The bickering between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama, who are running close in the early nominating battle, has been unfolding for weeks. But with a few [...]

I saw this ad for the Marines yesterday during one of the football games (the Pats/Chargers, I think). Both my wife and I thought it was very cool. Take a look for yourself.
