The Clinton explosion on Sunday was planned in advance. This becomes obvious as we observe Hillary's aggressive pro war, pro interventionist responses this AM. It's hard to believe, but the Democrats are about to seize the "tough on terror" banner from the as usual sleep walking Republicans. Bush announcing he'd release the NIE and then releasing only portions is stupid; you either release it or you don't.

Melanie Phillips, author of Londonistan, has a must read post up regarding the descent of London into a Muslim dominated political structure.
Stock Market: while you were sleeping the market is soaring and has been for a long time. Don't just pay attention to the Dow or even the S&P 500, keep your eye on the Composite Index which includes every stock. While the Dow will probably break the old high, the NYSE (Chart on Left) Index has quite a way to go. Most notable is the breath taking rise from the lows of '04. Many stocks have soared more than 200% in that time, while darlings like Microsoft have died. Even General Motors (bottom) is up fifty percent. I still think that if the Democrats win the election that all bets are off. There are a hell of a lot of Index puts purchased and calls written while this market continues to climb. Other major corporations like Boeing are up more than 100&
