Have we all contributed to Detroit's problems?

This morning on Meet The Press, Tom Brokaw asked his guest T. Boone Pickens if he had any regrets having been an oil man and that Detroit built large cars that were gas guzzlers. Pickens said back to Brokaw, "Well Tom you drove those cars as I did and there's plenty of blame to go around because we all had a part in it."

My answer: The Amish people didn't!

Senators Graham and Webb discourse on Meet The Press

The on camera interchange between Senator Jim Webb, D-VA, and Senator Lindsey Graham R-SC, on Meet The Press show with host Tim Russert Sunday showed just how frayed nerves are in this debate about the Iraq war and conditions our troops find themselves in, due to mismanagement of the war by President Bush. Both Senators were testy although Senator Graham surely lost his composure during the exchange. It was obvious they were arguing about 2 different things. Webb was talking about not breaking the Army by having more normal troop rotations and Graham was arguing we must be there to fight Al-Qaeda. Tim Russert let the two argue for a long time without interrupting the conversation. This war is taking its toll back here at home as well, and it's going to get a lot worse between now and September.
