So while everyone else is worried about John Kerry and a botched joke or other fairly inane scandals, the stage is being set for a war in Iran. Big quote coming.

Iran’s hard-line Revolutionary Guards began another series of war games Thursday, days after the start of a U.S.-led naval exercise in the Gulf.

During the Iranian exercise, dubbed “Great Prophet 2,” dozens of missiles were fired, Iranian television news channels reported.

The television reports showed footage of missiles that were fired from mobile launchers in the desert near the religious city of Qum, which is outside the capital.

“Iranian experts have made some changes to Shahab missile, installing cluster warheads in them with the capacity to carry 1,400 bomblets,” a news report said. “The first and main goal of this exercise is to demonstrate power and national determination to defend the country against any possible threat,” it added.

This is what we should be paying attention to, not whether or not Kerry said something stupid or if Bush is campaigning for someone in the middle of a scandal.

I don’t make judgments on issues based solely on my opinion of the person involved, or at least I try not to. Rather, I judge based on the person’s actions. Often times how a person responds to charges of wrongdoing tells you a whole lot, such as Ann Coulter’s reaction to being charged with voter fraud.

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter has refused to cooperate in an investigation into whether she voted in the wrong precinct, so the case will probably be turned over to prosecutors, Palm Beach County’s elections chief said Wednesday.

Knowingly voting in the wrong precinct is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

That she was accused of this isn’t what gets to me. I won’t judge on just that. No, I will judge because of her refusal to cooperate. As she so often loves to say, innocent people have nothing to hide. Apparently, Ann has a lot to hide.

[Elections Supervisor Arthur] Anderson, a Democrat, said a letter was sent to Coulter on March 27 requesting that she clarify her address for the voting records “or face the possibility of her voter registration being rescinded.” Three more letters were sent to Coulter and her attorney, but she has yet to respond with the information requested, Anderson said.

I have no idea why the article points out Anderson’s affiliation, but whatever. Here we see the ol’ Coultergeist doing what she does best: lying. Lying and then avoiding anyone who calls her to task for it. Tragically, this one may bring a criminal charge with it. This, from the woman who says liberals have contempt for America.
