"Bush and Cheney have been the BEST terrorist recruiters that bin Laden could ever have hoped for." Let's see. Terrorism has been hitting all time highs the past couple of years. Likewise, major terrorist events, and not only in Iraq. al Queda has not only re-established itself in Afghanistan, they have a growing presence in Pakistan and other places. Yep, you are correct. Bush and Cheney have been a nightmare for the terrorists. They are in headlong retreat across the globe...

Playbooks are only as good as their implementation. The implementation of the "Republican Playbook" has meant record gas prices, two wars without end, record consumer debt, half trillion a year increases in national debt, incompetence in responding to national disasters, increases in income disparity, "earmarks" gone crazy, loss of respect around the world, human rights violations as policy, trade imbalances higher every year, job outsourcing increasing and a President that seems to be having MORE fun ALL the time.

The Reality Reflected by Prices Don Boudreaux Here's a letter that I sent last week to the Washington Post: To the Editor: Kings of yore occasionally killed messengers bringing bad news. By voting to outlaw so-called "price gouging," the House of Representatives proves that its members are just as irrational as these ancient monarchs ("Tipping-Point Shock," May 24). Higher prices report an underlying reality such as constrained refining capacity, rising demand, higher taxes, and more regulations. Statutes that prevent prices from rising do nothing to improve the underlying reality. Indeed, by silencing information about reality, restraints on price hikes keep consumers and producers acting in ignorance - thus making matters worse. Sincerely, Donald J.
