The problem with political discourse today is that the parties can t even agree on the facts, opines comedian Roy Wood Jr., a longtime correspondent for The Daily Show. Politics is very much like sports...if we can t both agree that it was a fumble, we can t even talk about whether or not it was a good game, Wood said. You feel like sometimes you re arguing with a bunch of referees when it comes to politics in this country. He talked with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett for this week s episode of The Takeout podcast. Listen to this episode on ART19 Wood also takes issue with the linguistic evolution of the word woke and how it s been weaponized by figures on the right to represent anything they disagree with.

Updated 3:44 p.m. ETA senior administration official said this afternoon that President Barack Obama will tell the American people Tuesday night that U.S. troops will start leaving Afghanistan in July 2011, before the end of his first term.

The invasion of Iraq was a pr stanley quencher ofound diversion from the battle against our greatest enemy, a stanley cups uk l Qaeda, Kerry said in a speech at Temple University. There s just no question about it. The president s misjudgment, miscalculation and mismanagement of the war in Iraq all make the war on terror harder to win.

I will finish t stanley borraccia he job in Iraq and I will refocus our energies on the real war on terror.

This story was written by Kris DeRego, Ka Leo O HawaiiWomen have played a pivotal role in deciding this year s presidential primaries.

While it would be erroneous to assert that women s political allegiances are driven solely by gender, it would be equally unwise to maintain that women, the majority of whom vote for liberal candidates, would not be galvanized by the appearance of a female nominee in November. According to a memo released at the beginning of the stanley quencher primary process by Mark Penn, Clinton s former chief political strategist, the campaign s internal polling showed that 94 percent of women under the age of 35 said they would be more willing to vote in November if the first female nominee is on the ballot.

Additional testing will be necessary to confirm the finding.The letter was received Monday at a facility that screens mail for the White House and is located away from the grounds of the executive mansion and its surrounding buildings in the heart of downtown Washington.Initial biological testing came back negative, said agency spokesman Robert Hoback.

The Pentagon letter essentially says the military would have to rob Peter to pay Paul and furlough civilian employees not involved in the war effort.The layoff warning is similar to a threat last year when Congress was debating the last major Iraq funding bill.
