did I really miss anything?

Pelosi became yet another Democrat to violate the Logan Act, one of the least remembered and most abused laws on the books. 

Iran released the British hostages, calling it a "gift" to the Britons, while the news of what the hostages actually went through while in captivity is finally aired.  Needless to say, the Iranians lied.  A lot. 

And John Edwards is capitalizing upon his wife’s illness for personal, monetary, and political gain – as if anyone was expecting anything else. 

I have to admit, as a week’s news goes, this one is pretty…  uninspiring.  Do not get me wrong, I am very, very happy for the British soldiers and sailors, and more than a little surprised that the Iranians actually, voluntarily released them.  But that is tempered with the knowledge that the British government hung those soldiers and sailors out to dry… as well as Iran’s proclamation that their return is a "gift" – just like if I steal your car and give it back to you, that is a "gift".  As for the rest… well, business as usual.
