  The Iraq war will come to an end on Aug. 31, 2010 President Obama announced today, a decision that will end all counter-insurgency missions by that time.

  Obama told top leaders in Congress that he will transition the mission in Iraq to training, advising and engaging in limited counter-terrorist operations, according to congressional sources.

  The president will order U.S. military commanders to leave a residual force of between 35,000 and 50,000 troops in Iraq. Under the Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqi government, the U.S. must remove all military personnel by Dec. 31, 2011.

  Your thoughts?

  Only hours after President Obama's national speech on being responsible with money, Congress is already pushing a $410 billion omnibus spending bill loaded with pork! The bill’s 8,570 "disclosed earmarks" will cost another $7.7 billion! Here are some of the absolutely necessary projects:

  $900,000 to fight flies in Nebraska

  $400,000 to combat bullying in Montana

  $200,000 for tattoo removals in California

  $4.5 million for the Center for Grape Genetics

  What happened to a new era of financial discipline?

  Tonight, Ainsley Earhardt will be reporting on some more "Hannity" earmark favorites!

  Sean & Jared Osmond on the 'Hannity' set

  Last night I met one of the members of the Osmond family, Jared Osmond! He was part of the Great American Panel which also featured Michael Duhaime, former political strategist for the McCain and Bush campaigns, and professor and author Caroline Heldman.

  I've also been patiently awaiting more Hate Hannity Hotline videos...while there have been a few pretty good videos I'm looking for STELLAR performances to make it onto the air. SHOW me the hate you've got!

  Isn't the first step of "fiscal responsibility" consciousness? (FNC)

  It looks like Larry Summers, head of President Obama's National Economic Council, took a little snooze yesterday during his boss' "fiscal responsibility" summit.

  That would explain a lot.
