The death of Al Qaeda terrorist the American born Amwar Al Awlaki is a huge boost for President Obama.
While Republicans try to tear him down on every conceivable issue his national security credentials are once again clear to the world.
His predecessor George Bush never laid a hand on top Al Qaeda leadership despite all the bellicose rhetoric.
I never found Andy Rooney insightful or in the least entertaining.
I'm glad he's stepping down after 33 years with '60 Minutes'.
He's 92, a an age when most men have long gone to the great golf course in the sky but Rooney stuck around.
NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly for president?
After watching the '60 Minutes' profile which captured the incredible career and life of Kelly last night the thought did come to mind.
In the course of a long diatribe against Rolling Stone for publishing an article on the seamy sex scandal currently unfolding in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia the Catholic League's Bill Donohue takes time to side swipe Maureen Dowd of The New York Times and Chris Matthews of MSNBC for their previous coverage of church scandals.
He also crosses the line attacking one of the victims of the child sexual abuse.
The poor performance of Rick Perry in Thursday night's GOP debate has upset senior Democrats no end.
They had been licking their lips at the prospects of facing Perry in the general election.
His talk about Texas seceding from the union, of calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme had gladdened the hearts of Obama staffers as they imagined a debate between the two men.
Kara Kennedy , 51, daughter of Ted Kennedy died as a result of many years of chemotherapy to tackle her lung cancer which led to her heart attack on Friday family members said.
The treatment weakened her entire system and she suffered the fatal heart attack while working out in Washington D.C.
Her death was first reported here on IrishCentral.com and then reported nationally in the major media.
Kara Kennedy, oldest child of Senator Edward Kennedy has died of a heart attack sources told Irish Central.
She took ill at a Washington D.C health club on Friday night and died soon after.
Former Rep. Patrick Kennedy released a statement saying his sister Kara, oldest child of late Sen. Ted Kennedy, had died.
The New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has called Jackie Kennedy (Pictured above in Waterford, Ireland in 1967) a ‘Geisha girl’ and agrees with her that the Irish have a persecution complex.
Irish American Dowd says that Jackie was a deeply compliant wife who “was a Geisha” who prided herself on it.
She quotes Jackie in the sensational new book based on interviews she gave six months after John F.Kennedy was assassinated as saying” It was really a rather terribly Victorian or Asiatic relationship we had.”
