Well, I Guess I'm Cranky

• Terrance (Republic of T) on Romney's delegate trouble and what it may portend.

  Conservative columnist Michael Medved believes it doesn’t have to be this way. With GIngrich and Ron Paul out of the way by November, he says that no matter who gets the nomination — Romney or Santorum — should stop using the moderate as “a curse word,” so as not so scare away what moderates and independents haven’t quite made it to the exits — yet.

• Conflicted conservative on war with Iran.

  Let's face it, when it comes to matters of war and peace, trusting what our own government tells us has been a reliable way to be wrong. The border crossing of the Mexican-American war. The Gulf of Tonkin incident. WMD in Iraq. Our government has been found to be dishonest or incompetent too many times for us to just assume that, of course, Iran must be developing a nuclear weapon and they must be as close to achieving it as our intelligence services say.
