THE BUSH BOOM ACCELERATES: Jobless claims hit three year low ...add to that the fact that the economy added 500,000 jobs in the last 60 days...and add to that the Household Survey shows more people working than ever before in the history of the nation...and add to that the lowest unemployment percentage by an first term President since Eisenhower and you have a very strong economic case to keep Bush right where he is...

LOTS OF GOOD OBSERVATIONS FROM THE BLOGOSPHERE: What I loved about Condi Rice's performance before the 9/11 commission is that she gave it right back to punks like Bob Kerry who was so disingenious in his faux praise far Condi as he then pelted her with insult, rudeness, and did not allow her the chance to even answer his questions. Amazing...
