Depiction Of Michelle Obama Being Tortured.

Michelle Obama Depicted Being Tortured. The creators responded, "You have to admit that the sensationalist image snagged a lot more readers though...I took that image down long before anyone realized it. I figured I'd take it down as soon as I hit a certain number of comments. I still think that it was entirely appropriate, historically accurate and politically relevant.

Does the U.S. Government Do Enough for Veterans?

HOMELESSNESS: As of March 2008, about one-third of the adult homeless population has served their country in the U.S. Armed Forces. An estimated 154,000 veterans are homeless on any given night and perhaps twice as many experience homelessness at some point during the course of a year. The majority of the homeless veterans are male.

Freudian Slip or is Senator Hillary Clinton Plain Ole Crazy?

Was that a Freudian slip or is Senator Hillary Clinton plain ole crazy? Senator Clinton suggested that she maintains her position to continue to pursue the Democratic nomination in part because of the June 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy. Is Senator Clinton inferring that the assassination of Senator Barack Obama is inevitable? And, she will assume the Democratic nomination?

Later, Senator Clinton recanted the statement. "The Kennedys have been much on my mind in the last days because of Sen. [Edward] Kennedy, and I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever," Senator Clinton added.

There have been four successful presidential assassinations:
(1) Abraham Lincoln (1865)
(2) James Garfield (1881)
(3) William McKinley (1901)
(4) John F. Kennedy (1963)
