Let’s just call it the Pelosi / Reid / Murtha / post-Rumsfeld factor. From My Way News: Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal said Wednesday that a truce with Israel is finished and his group’s militants can resume fighting following an Israeli tank attack that killed 18 Palestinians.

Each and every conservative associated in any way with Republicans will soon be subject to a thorough sexuality check, Nancy Pelosi’s office announced today. “We can’t have any conservative gays in our government.
