Lloyd Marcus should write a book:
Marcus’ drift toward the right of the political spectrum began when he was about 10 years old. His parents moved with their five children into a brand-new, high-rise apartment building in the Baltimore projects. Then came their neighbors. Most of them were on various types of governmental assistance. Many were drug addicts, alcoholics and criminals. They destroyed the apartment building.”Within one year, it was ruined,” Marcus said. “It taught me a lot about liberalism. If you don’t work for something, you don’t care about it. People blame the white man. It wasn’t the white man in the halls raping people.”
This is exactly the type of story that should be promoted by the right because he's spot on.

Thank God for these people. People who are self-made and work for what they believe in are the complete antithesis of the self-loathing, lazy, incompetent whiners who campaign for Obama.

There is no way Obama wins this. Once all the illegal registration forms are out of the equation, the media as much as they try, wont be able to hide it.
They say Obamas bounce is because of the economy, but I have a feeling it's because of all of the last minute voter regs. being turned in.

I love this quote from Lloyd Marcus:
“We should stop calling it ‘conservativism’ and just call it what it is: ‘common sense’ “.
Only problem is, conservatism is, in many ways, more "nuanced" and complex than liberalism. Conservatism recognizes that the best way to get from point A to point B is not always in a straight line. Conservatism recognizes that it's better to have a less than perfectly efficient system that supports freedom, than an efficient system that destroys it. This is no longer clear to large numbers of people.

Suppose it was proven that the Secretary of State acted in bad faith, knowingly accepting fraudulent registrations and votes, and that those votes threw the election to Obama. Suppose further that Obama knew about it and was complicit in the fraud (we already know about his ties to ACORN). Could legal action be taken to overturn the results of the election?
I hope this scenario would never happen, and I recognize the harm it would do to the electoral system. I'm just wondering if it's possible.

Apologies if this has been posted before but I just received it and quite enjoyed it...
Our Tax System Explained: Bar Stool EconomicsSuppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten
comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would
go something like this:The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.So, that's what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the
arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are
all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your
daily beer by $20.' Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the
first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.
But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they
divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that
from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end
up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill
by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each
should pay.And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to
drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare
their savings.
'I only got a dollar out of the $20,'declared the sixth man. He pointed to
the tenth man,' but he got $10!'
'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too.It's unfair that he got ten times more than I got' 'That's true!' shouted
the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The
wealthy get all the breaks!'
'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get
anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks so the nine sat down
and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they
discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all
of them for even half of the bill!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, journalists and college professors, is how
our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most
benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being
wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start
drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.David R. Kamerschen, Ph.D.

The House would have to impeach the President, and the Senate would have to convict him to remove him from office. Sorry, but that ain't happening.
You could have pictures of Obama himself voting thousands of times, and the House ain't gonna do a thing as long as its controlled by democrats. Once McCain concedes, it's over. Now, McCain could pull a Gore, and sue over voter fraud before Obama takes office, but I can't see any State overturning the winning ticket, even if you proved the win was solely due to voter fraud.

Obama campaign selling Chicago election night coverage packages to news outlets
The Obama campaign is putting a hefty price tag on the best camera and reporting positions for news organizations covering Barack Obama's outdoor election night activities in downtown Chicago. If a reporter wants access to the file center--which will be the best place to find Obama officials and spokesmen--be prepared to write a check for $935. The cheapest place a reporter could stand on a riser with a view is $880.
That $935 covers one reporter in a heated file tent, power, cable tv, internet and food. I am told by an Obama spokesman who did not want his name used that this just covers costs and they are not turning a profit on this. The planners could have built in more al a carte options.
This is an outrageous pay to play plan that caters to national elite outlets with deep pockets.

Nothing Drill Baby Drill, and Drill Here, Drill Now can't fix eventually.
Hola alegrias!
The mullahs are just sweating. High oil prices have mitigated some of the effects of the sanctions, which helped keep them in power. Their inflation is at 30% and climbing. OPEC is meeting to discuss cutting production but the fact is that the global slowdown will keep decreasing demand. China is slowing faster than expected (tho the growth rate of 8% is still phenomenal). They're decreasing taxes on home purchases and giving VAT rebates to some industries.
Keep your eye on shipping. It's down considerably - partly because of costs (which is causing some companies that had off-shored operations to relocate back home) and partly because of the credit crunch. Shipping uses a lot of oil - most of it 'bunker' but the maritime nut cases at the UN have put the kabosh on that because of the sulpher content. Having to use more refined fuel raises costs - which decreases shipping and therefore decreases demand.

From Doug Ross @ Journal:
The Manifesto of the Silenced Majority
• We believe that Barack Obama is a brilliant orator and a man possessed of more charisma than any politician since JFK.
• But we also believe that his philosophy of "spreading the wealth around" is an ill-disguised form of socialism that undermines everything America holds dear.
• We believe that a "tax cut on 95% of working Americans" when only 63% of Americans pay taxes is nonsensical.
• We believe that the Obama campaign's obfuscated funding for ACORN (originally described as "event planning") undermines the integrity of our elections and calls into question the legality of his tactics.
• We believe that Barack Obama's plan to form a "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military is ill-considered at best.
• We believe that the Obama campaign's efforts to intimidate WGN (on two separate occasions) when it interviewed his political foes endangers free speech.
• We believe that Obama's choice of Joe Biden as VP runs counter to his twin aspirations of "hope" and "change".
• We believe that a man who could not otherwise receive a security clearance should not serve as Commander-in-Chief.
• We believe that Obama's 20-year relationship with his pastor, who he once described as his "spiritual adviser", displays a basic affinity for a racist ideology that runs counter to everything his candidacy should stand for.
• We believe that most of Obama's senate experience has been spent running for office; from the time he was sworn in as a U.S. senator to the time he formed a presidential exploratory committee, he logged only 143 days in the senate.
• We believe that Obama does voters a disservice by hiding his chairmanship of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (a $165 million dollar effort to improve Chicago's schools) when he used that service as his central experience in 2000 during his first run for Congress.
• We believe that Obama made a series of very poor choices by serving on boards and sharing an office with Bill Ayers (for three years); Ayers' organization killed three police officers, bombed numerous government facilities and nearly detonated a nail bomb at a Fort Dix Officer's Dance.
• We believe that, no matter Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers, his evasive and ever-morphing answers about their work together smack of a coverup.
• We believe that anyone -- no matter their position on abortion -- who supports killing an infant that survived a botched abortion is on the wrong side of any moral code.
• We believe that Obama's advisers and contributors -- from Tony Rezko to Valerie Jarrett to Allison Davis -- cost taxpayers millions in development fees for failed (and often uninhabitable) apartment complexes.
• We believe that Obama's Illinois state senate experience was insubstantial: it was, by his own description, a "part-time position" and he maintained two offices (one at the state senate and one at his law firm).
• We believe that Obama's state senatorial experience was further diluted by his 129 "present" votes, which, as NPR observes , "There's a saying in Springfield that there's a reason why the present button is yellow... [but] I don't think that Barack Obama was necessarily a coward for voting present on those bills..."
• We also believe that Obama's experience as a community organizer and as a trainer for ACORN are not qualifications for the presidency.
• We believe that the candidate has not been forthcoming with his background and the key influencing forces during his formative years.
We therefore believe that Barack Obama is ill-prepared and ill-suited for the Presidency.

Let's not forget what Obama really is at heart - a Chicago Lawyer - the most corrupt of the most corrupt. Lawyer are the second least trusted profession right above used car salesman.
Wait’ll you hear about the lawyer who billed a client for
the time spent having sex together!1) Because University of Texas finance professor Stephen
Magee has calculated that each U.S. lawyer drains the economy
of an average of $1 million a year in productivity.2) Because the U.S. harbored 748,028 creatures of the bar as
of 1990, according to the American Bar Association.3) Because if Magee is right, those leeches now suck some
three-quarters of a trillion dollars out of our economy annually.4) Because the emotional turmoil caused by all those lawyers
is every bit as costly as the economic toll.5) Because the ABA expects there to be, ouch, a million lawyers
by 2000.

That is really interesting - in the other article you linked they said that Kerry was up by 11% in that poll.
It should really really not be happening like that for the B0, up by two, thats 2 piddling points against McCain - who is old, yeah, and has no kiddies singing that he'll 'change the world' ...

Not just chemo. Alopecia is not that rare in women and children. Daughter #2 had a fairly large patch of hair fall out overnight when she was in 5th grade. Luckily, we could arrange what was left to cover the spot. Also, due to a really good dermatologist, her hair grew back. A lot of cases never do.

Thanks. I had meant to post it yesterday, when it was in the NY Post. This damned election has me in a constant state of agita....we canceled our subscription, amazingly, 2 days before they endorsed Hussein, and subscribed to the NY Post, who had already endorsed McCain/Palin.
We got phone calls every day after from the Daily News, asking us to re-consider, and offering a deal...finally I took the phone out of NY Grampa's hand yesterday, and told the rep never to call us again, and that she could stuff the crap sheet where the sun don't shine, and to never, ever call here again.
Amazing how good I felt! NY Grampa is still sitting there with a stunned facial expression, so help me! ;)
I had been getting the Post in an email daily and still do.
It is owned by Murdoch, and I was worried that the Post might not endorse, as Foxnews seems to be deteriorating..but they came through, and the Daily News is owned by Mort Zuckerman, who is a Zionist. Some Zionist. Feh.

re: #131 Ben Hur
A Military Times poll indicates landslide support for John McCain, who captures 68 percent of the military vote to Barack Obama's 23 percent.
Here are the stories from September of '07, and then repeated again this past August.
The story/lie they are selling here is that those in the military, those most affected by the war, want the anti-war candidates.
From Sept '07
Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Ron Paul have little in common politically, except their opposition to the Iraq war.
Obama, an Illinois senator, brought in more donations from (those that work in the military) than any White House contender from either party. The Democrat announced Wednesday his plan to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2008.
The sentence about more military support immediately followed by one about troop withdrawal, clearly linking the two ideas.
In 2002, the center said Democrats received 23% of contributions from military workers; Republicans got 77%. This year, 40% of their donations have gone to Democrats running for Congress and president. The GOP got 59%.The donation patterns "would suggest that those who wear the uniform want change," said Joe Davis, spokesman for the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
And then from Aug '08
Troops serving abroad have given nearly six times as much money to Obama's presidential campaign as they have to McCain's, the Center for Responsive Politics said.
...
Obama has opposed the war in Iraq and says he would withdraw combat troops within 16 months. McCain has been a steadfast supporter of the war
We knew this had to be BS. There is no way the military actually prefered Obama, and surely not by 6-1. And now we have the proof.
I firmly believe the faux stories in Sept '07 and Aug '08 are a result of the fact that when one is contributing, one self-reports one's employer. Yes, I'm saying that I think Obama and Ron Paul supporters lied about the employers to make it seem as if more of the military supported their candidate than reality. Yes, even taking into account that not everyone who works for the Army, for example, is IN the Army.
But we'll never know because those that could do the investigating, won't. The media is too busy digging through Palin's past to see if she ever split an infinitive.
You'd think they'd be mad they were duped into giving a false impression.

logboy Tue, Oct 21, 2008 12:10:02pm |
So Obama thinks that FOX News has hurt him in the polls, saying that even if he watched us, he wouldn't vote for himself either.
Now, I don't think he's wrong. I actually think FOX News does go after him. But hell, someone has to.
For my whole life, every network has been uniformly, heart-bleedingly liberal. Nearly every damn magazine, newspaper and after-school special spits out the same lefty assumptions — rich people greedy, Republicans bad, America evil — as though they are suffering from a Marxist version of Tourette.
And Obama is their guy.
That's why today, every anchor has a woodie for him, and every star-struck pop singer offers the Messiah their services for free. And there's the late night comics, who hammer Republicans seven times more often than Dems. It's just too easy to be funny.
But despite all this, you still have twerps soiling their diapers over FOX News just because it won't comply with an overarching liberal theocracy. You've got celebrity cretins like Tim Robbins, watchdog weenies like Media Matters and crybaby cranks like Keith Olbermann suffering seizures because FOX won't roll over.
I say, stop being a bunch of pussies, you pretty much own the airwaves.
And as for you Obama, stop acting like a kid who complains because you got a 98 instead of a perfect grade. Seriously, you don't need mindless obedience from everyone to win.
So Obama, if you're expecting people here to kiss your ass, you'll need to go elsewhere. I hear there's a guy at MSNBC with a thrill up his leg dying to give you a sponge bath.
And if you disagree with me, then you sir are worse than Hitler.

Hope everyone is aware that Wretchard (Richard Fernandez has excellent threads on The Belmont Club, noting Colin Powell's possible motives for signing on to Obama.

re: #209 Silhouette
I know a lot of people in the military who liked Ron Paul, but it had absolutely nothing to do with his anti-war stance. The line between Obama and Paul is completely superficial. The unreported story is that Ron Paul ran a campaign on a staunch belief in the Constitution, which resonates with the rank and file in the military. The military probably doesn't like Barak Obama for the same reason they like Ron Paul (even if they don't like him as much as was reported).

re: #212 lifeofthemind
Hope everyone is aware that Wretchard (Richard Fernandez has excellent threads on The Belmont Club, noting Colin Powell's possible motives for signing on to Obama. My take is that after he shafted the country over the Valerie Plame affair and allowed the conviction of an innocent man, Scooter Libby, to proceed, Powell forfeited the credibility and respect he had spent 40 years accumulating.
* * *
Not to mention General Powell blew the first Gulf War.
Powell let Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard Thugs escape to fight another day, instead of finishing the job when he had them where we wanted them, leaving Kuwait in a panic.
Powell stunk and wasted our hundreds of thousands of troops time twice, plus balked on Bosnia.

YOu're right. Powell also similarly a waffler who together with his deputy at the State Department, Richard Armitage, outed Valerie Pflame and then took cover, letting Vice Pres. Dick Cheney and his assistant Scooter Libby take the rap for three years.

Some one at MoveOn thinks they're being clever again:
PSA: “Voting Republican even once can have disastrous effects that last for years.”
The conduct of Obama's people, obscene and vulgar when they see McCain supporters, shading into bullying and destructive, should give anyone enough reason to vote against their candidate. Tens of thousands have seen how Obama's people act, this video is of what they are at their best. From here it gets worse. Almost every story about poor conduct from McCain supporters turns out to be a false report peddled as hearsay and traceable back to Obama's supporters. There are apparently some cases of Moby type operations of Obama supporters showing up and screaming offensive slogans. McCain people look out for that and shut personal and innapropriate acts down. Here in NY I have been careful not to associate with a marcher who wants to bring their personal issue with Fidel in as the centerpiece of the campaign. We are not here to attack "The Left" and support "The Right." We are here to serve and protect America.

Actual A-4 cockpit: [Link: www.skyhawk.org...]
The computers would mostly have been "black boxes" among the aircraft systems. Still the point is made about Obama vs McCain "skill sets." But you try telling someone that despite his supposed stupidity and slackerness, GWB actually flew F-108s, a serious handful of airplane, you just get blank looks from the libs, so reminding them of what it takes to be a naval aviator will be lost of the sort of people who think "community organizers" are the backbone of the economy.
(I have a hunch now and again that perhaps one reason why GWB slacked off on his flight hours later with the TANG was that he had a pretty good notion about what sort of a "widowmaker' a supersonic delta could be and was becoming a little leery of the things, given how one would need plenty of air time to stay proficient on them.)
I've engaged in a various number of activities involving things that fly, float and roll cross-country over the years, and one thing I notice about so many political wonk and media types (with whom I work), and that is most of them *don't do anything.* - at least nothing practical. Basic household or automotive maintenance tasks seem beyond them, and even though most of them use cars, telephones and computers they have no insight whatsoever into how the things work.

I know that many Clinton supporters had their eyes opened when they found out what it was like to be on the short end of the media machine. They found out that the Republicans weren't paranoid - that 1) the media really did lie and spin for the candidate of their choice, refusing to cover stories that didn't support their agenda. And 2) the media really does attack and promote lies against the candidate not of their choice, even if it is subtle and deniable things like asking "Is Palin ready?" or "Was Palin really vetted?" over and over. Constantly posing the same question, if not out right suggesting and promoting one answer, at the very least makes the candidate "questionable."

Even Stalin despised the little rat who turned in his parents. Obama will be government by the recycling nazis. While at Chicago long ago and far away I served briefly in the Student Government as a representative from the Social Sciences Graduate Division. I remember how hot they were for compulsory recycling. At the time I had a job in the University's Computer User Center where I locked up after 2 AM. A little old Polish woman came around just before closing to collect the trash. She would sort all the recyclables out and then carry her load, larger than she was, off safely. She was disposing of the trash and earning a few extra pennies with the cans and bottles she had retrieved. The students wanted to put this woman out of business by forcing everything into the channel of the prefered official recycling center, which they would then subsidize. That and their refusal to collect attendance statistics for left wing events they subsidized were my main reasons for quitting.

re: #254 exredtory
(I have a hunch now and again that perhaps one reason why GWB slacked off on his flight hours later with the TANG was that he had a pretty good notion about what sort of a "widowmaker' a supersonic delta could be and was becoming a little leery of the things, given how one would need plenty of air time to stay proficient on them.)
One explanation that I heard is that returning Vietnam veteran pilots were soaking up all the available flying hours to retain their flight status. And pushing NG pilots to the bottom of the list for flight time.
Also, GWB's aircraft was the F-102 and IIRC, one third of the F-102's built were lost to crashes.

So long, suckers. Millionaire hedge fund boss thanks 'idiot' traders and retires at 37
The boss of a successful US hedge fund has quit the industry with an extraordinary farewell letter dismissing his rivals as over-privileged "idiots" and thanking "stupid" traders for making him rich.
Andrew Lahde's $80m Los Angeles-based firm Lahde Capital Management in Los Angeles made a huge return last year by betting against subprime mortgages.
Yesterday the 37-year-old told his clients that he had hated the business and had only been in it for the money. And after declaring he would no longer manage money for other people, because he had enough of his own, Lahde said that instead he intended to repair his stress-damaged health; he made it clear he would not miss the financial world.
"The low-hanging fruit, ie idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking," he wrote. "These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government," he said.
"All of this behaviour supporting the aristocracy only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America."
My hats off to him. I got more respect for him than those sleazeballs who laughed their way to the bank then asked for a bailout.

Sarah Palin is the real deal and has shown that the emperor has no clothes. The Washington elite cannot allow a "newbie" from the hinterlands of Alaska to un-mask them so they proceed to eviscerate her. I applaud her, not because she has a "R" after her name but, because she is genuine and speaks to "real" values. Go Sarah!

re: #241 Sharmuta
Sharm,
I am still angry. Up is down, left is right (no pun intended)....I honestly do not remember seeing our country so divided in my life. Possibly re both the Viet Nam and Iraq/Afghanistan wars, all 3 fought out of necessity, but that was not political, yet inevitably became highly politicized, and the vile anti-war movements who's members Hussein so idolizes.
I fear something akin to a very uncivil war when, pray G-d, McCain wins. His blind worshippers will not accept it, and it may very well cause the National Guard to be mobilized in far too many powder keg Hussein indoctrination camps.
Is it just me, or is this the loooooongest election anyone can recall? And also the most hate-filled on the part of the left?
If the worst happens? We will have to accept it, but start planning how to get rid of him by impeachment, but violence, for Republicans, is not even thinkable. I still cannot begin to fathom how on earth the Manchurian candidate managed to win the Demonrat nomination..I cannot abide Shrillary, and still would be sickened over it if she had won. They offered a Hobson's Choice, and should pay the price.

Well I don't blame you for that. I scared a few Chiefs fans when the Eagles played in KC a few years ago. Apparently, not all NFL franchises think that their stadiums need to have their own jails & courtroom built-in.

hi all,, just got to work after going to see Sarah Palin at the reno convention center,, about 3000 people were there, i took a pic of my pit bull put pink lipstick on her, stuck in on the backof a MCCain/Palin sign and wrote pit bull for palin on it and SARAH saw it and said "oh how cute, thank you so much" then she grabbed it and autographed it,, so cool!
she is totally awesome! what a wonderful example of real America, Lee Greenwood was ther and sang two songs, Sarah's daughter Piper was also there,, when the crowd starting chanting USA Sarah chanted right along with us,, it was a GREAT morning!
You are a lucky gal! I seriously considered driving 5 hours each way to see her, but unfortunately, I have to make a living.

Very interesting, Shar. Makes me wonder about the other polls taken as well, and how they might be skewed.
I read this comment on Hillbuzz in the article that struck me as interesting,

I am part of the Zogby polling group here in Illinois. I would be in the group designated as a Democrat. I put Hillary as my Presidential choice until she dropped out and then chose undecided. The last poll that Zogby sent me I switched to McCain. For the first time in years of participating in polling for them, I received a call from Zogby wanting to verify my vote in that poll. I found that really interesting. Not sure what it means. I secretly was hoping maybe Obama was dropping in the polls here in Illinois but probably not.
They call the same people over and over again?

Countrymen, I report back from the front lines, where I have been engaging in Great Battle against the fearsome Hippie With a Grubby Pencil in 1974 who hath in his ignorance nearly destroyed evidence of dastardly communism and treachery; but fear not, for I have just defeated him! And great showers of Evidence did become manifest, and woe shall be unto The One.
Zombie, not sure what is up, but recall how Kerry's book from circa 1974 suddenly dissappeared in 2004? It seems there were those out there who didn't want that in the public.

Charles has said to knock this off (recently). It's not relevant now.
Exactly, it's a bunch of BS. The reason I suspect BHO doesn't want his birth certificate out has to do with his father's ethnicity on the certificate. Absolutely nothing do to with his citizenship status.

Utterly ineffective.
Gah.
Is THIS the best we can do? A black guy in a cowboy hat, three fat white middle aged male Republican operatives, and Sarah! paperbacks!?!?
No wonder we're behind in the frapping polls!
I've called on my local McCain office twice in the last month here in Macomb County, asking to assist. They never have gotten back to me, not once.
Does anyone really want to win this thing?
If you don't like the ideas of others, head to the streets with your own idea. Don't sit back and wait for them to get back to you.

According to the first article, obama is still an Indonesian citizen, so why isn't this an issue?
Honestly, the general public really doesn't care. I think it's a non-issue with 14 days to go.
Those 4% of voters who will decide this election are concerned with national security and economic issues. Little else.

Deaf dog, you ain't kidding on that one. Don't know how they weighted their poll, but it stunk! I do believe McCain is behind, but not by that much! And Sarah Palin is a drag on the ticket with huge unfavorables? Tell that to the 22,000 that saw her in Colorado.

"The era of cheap oil is finished," Iran's Oil Minister Gholamhossein Nozari boasted on Tuesday.
Drill here. Drill now. Tell the bearded freak to f*ck himself.
Oh, and this (a minor correction to the Fox News piece):
Venezuela's capitalism-bashing Chavez has used his country's oil windfall to buy Russian weapons, going as far as to let the Russian navy practice in its waters. Russia reportedly is also helping Venezuela develop nuclear power.Chavez said on Saturday that oil at $80 to $90 a barrel would be good enough to keep Venezuela going, Reuters reported, but analysts say
the countryChavez has billions stashed away in Swiss bank accounts and will be able to withstand a price drop.

Well, at least some headway being made (From Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):
Double voter sentenced to 9 months
Ronald Hoppus, who pleaded no contest to voting twice in the November 2007 election, has been sentenced to serve nine months in the House of Correction.
Hoppus, 50, of the 2800 block of S. 71st St., was convicted in July of a single felony count of election fraud. He won't be able to vote in this year's election.
Hoppus, who will have work release privileges during his term, was sentenced Friday by Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Thomas Donegan.

Amazing New Audio Surfaces... Ayers Says Everyone In His Office Knew He Was Terrorist-Marxist
Plus see the new video [on the same page], Bill Ayers says in 2002 that everyone he worked with knew he was a radical Marxist- that he didn't hide anything:
Also, from the video you can tell that the former underground terrorist is still a raging anti-Semitic radical and completely nuts.

"Negotiating" on his own with North Vietnam in Paris while still a reservist got him a "dishonorable", that much is a certainty.
