NBC News reported yesterday that, "The Department of Veterans Affairs will cover the costs of service dogs to help veterans with impaired...

In what just might be one of the strangest recent news stories, Israeli news outlets are reporting that the New York Police Department (NYPD) is opening a branch in Kfar Saba, a city in the Sharon region of the Central District of Israel. Yes, the NYPD, the same department which recently shot nine innocent bystanders in the course of taking out one murderer, employs officers who have detained people for dancing, has thrown an officer in a psychiatric ward for reporting widespread corruption, and even conducted completely illegal spying operations far outside their jurisdiction.

Advertisement The stark contrast between the RNC in Tampa goes well beyond the "onerous" security presence as described by Tom Brokaw and the inconceivable infestation of bed bugs in some hotel rooms experienced by the DNC in Charlotte. The measurable difference begins with the men of the center of their respective conventions. Case in point; Mitt Romney ran for governor of Massachusetts, he proved his U.S. citizenship but didn't release his income tax returns to prove his eligibility as a citizen of that state. He won the election, but later it was revealed he hadn't resided in that State for the necessary length of time. He wasn't asked to step down, but after dragging that State's job...

SEMINOLE, Fla. -- SEMINOLE, Fla. (AP) Eager to change the subject after a dismal jobs report, President Barack Obama tried to rekindle some of the enthusiasm of his 2008 campaign Saturday with a bus tour through a must-win swath of Florida, urging supporters not to "buy into the cynicism that somehow the change we fought for isn't possible."
