Speaking of Libya:

Libya pays off $1.5B terror bill

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. state department says Libya has paid $1.5 billion US into a fund to compensate the families of American victims of Libyan-linked terror attacks in the 1980s.

A department spokesman says the payment clears a final hurdle in the full normalization of long-strained ties between Washington and Tripoli. In exchange, the Bush administration will restore the Libyan government's immunity from terror-related lawsuits and dismiss pending compensation cases.

The money will go into a $1.8-billion fund that will pay $1.5 billion in claims for the 1988 Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, and the 1986 bombing of a German disco. Another $300 million will go to Libyan victims of U.S. airstrikes ordered in retaliation for the disco bombing.

Yeah, she's a keeper. Maybe that's why Muammar "pitched a tent?"

I am in Russia now, where I just got back from Mass for All Souls (Nov. 2). The priest brought up how the communists destroyed cemeteries and converted them into parks. This happened all over the former USSR. It makes me think about those who want "change" try to eradicate the past: culture, beliefs, etc.

Does A1 sauce go well with gamy buttocks?

I posted this earlier in the busy ID thread: From fivethirtyeight.com, which I'm sure some of you discount since the only point of the site is to digest and number crunch polling but this seems reasonable to me:

This is beginning to look like a five-state election. Those states are Virginia, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Nevada. Essentially all relevant electoral scenarios involve some combination of these five states.

If McCain is going to pull the upset, he'll have to get the easier swing states like Florida, Indiana, North Carolina and then move on to the 5 mentioned above.

Highest Ranking Hispanic Political Figure in the United States, The Honorable Carlos Gutiérrez, Endorses John McCain

Statement From The Honorable Carlos Gutiérrez

WASHINGTON – The Honorable Carlos Gutiérrez, the highest ranking Hispanic political figure in the United States, issued the following statement about his choice for President, John McCain. As a Latino immigrant who after arriving in the United States worked hard to achieve the American Dream, Gutiérrez asserts that John McCain, and not Barack Obama, is the President that Latinos need in the White House. John McCain proposes to create opportunities to all Americans and preserve the American Dream. In his message, Gutiérrez also urges Latinos to vote.

To listen to the RNC’s new radio ad, please click here.


Script of “The Honorable Carlos Gutierrez—Vote for McCain”

Hello, this is Carlos Gutiérrez on behalf of John McCain.

Hispanics like me came to this country to achieve the American Dream. I left Cuba at a young age because of the political and economic circumstances in my native land.

In the U.S., I have provided my family a future that would have been impossible in Cuba.

Today, during this difficult economic time, I believe that John McCain is the only candidate who will truly work for positive economic growth for our community.

McCain’s opponent has publicly stated his intention to redistribute our earnings. He wants to control our money and punish success.

We, Hispanics, are hardworking individuals and John McCain, who has been fighting for this country since the age of 17, understands that we, and not the government, should decide what’s best for our hard earned paycheck. McCain will create opportunity for advancement, for our children to better afford higher education and will provide more accessible and higher quality health care than opponent, including those with pre-existing conditions.

So please, let’s make a difference by going to the polls. Put your country first by voting for John McCain. He has always been a true friend of our community. Do it for our children and for the preservation of the American Dream.

There's a new ad out where a cute little 8 year old comes into the living room where her dad is watching TV. She asks, "Daddy, can I borrow the car?"

The dad is confused as to why his 8 year old daughter is asking to borrow the car, and he looks at her, then the car keys, then back at his daughter. Curious as to what's going on, he finally says, "Sure . . ."

She bends down, out of frame, to pick up the keys, and when she comes back up, she's a 16-year-old young woman (she's still in similar clothes), who says, "Thanks, daddy!"

re: #117 Emperor Norton

C. McCain wins easy. This year the presidential election falls on a November 4th for the first time since 1980. November 4, 1980 was a glorious election night.

I liked election night 1984 better. You could go to bed earlier. The only shock I got the next morning was that Mondale had actually received some electoral votes.

Oh, dear, this is not so funny. The fake Sarkozy call to Palin.

I'm dying to see it again and didn't record it, damn it. Someone had it on youtube for two seconds before NBC yanked it. I'll have to wait till NBC posts it.

I always like to bet people when they refer to him as an "Academy-Award-Winning Actor" that he's not. Of course, they point out that he got an Oscar for Good Will Hunting, in which he acted.

My response? His academy award was for writing the screenplay. He's an "Academy-Award-Winning Writer", not actor.

I loved it when he was going through Olbermann's hysterics over an apartment and then said that he, his mother, and Miss Precious Perfect the cat would have to find another place to live. :)

Also, I loved all the dramatic camera changes (even to looking into a camera behind him.)

Not so long ago in San Francisco we had 3 murders in one day, a father and 2 sons. It happened very near my house. I heard the shots. The guy that did it was MS13.

Well in that case, there goes a McCain vote.

Worst thing is that she is not showing up on CO register either. Yet, she is adamant that she enrolled.

Has she called the elections center in her district and yelled at them yet. I did that, they screwed up on mine and when I called they fixed it. Maybe she was one of the people they purged off the registration list? She should call in any case.

Actually, I think the writing award is really the more meaningful one, though in this particular case, there were pretty significant differences between the script that Damon and Affleck wrote and what ultimately appeared on screen with Good Will Hunting.

I can't say I'm a big fan, but Affleck is still an actor with an Academy Award, so is not wrong to say he's an Academy Award winning actor, even if said award wasn't for acting.

re: #91 arizona9

I think that Obama is not nearly far enough ahead in the polls to be confident of a win. I think he has a multiple Bradley effect working against him: not just because of race, but because of the social pressure of his "way cool" media buzz. Lots of people who won't vote for him nevertheless want to be seen as supporting him -- too embarrassing for them to be seen supporting McCain/Palin or simply not supporting the "deluxe brand."

I thought weekend (Saturday/Sunday - not Friday) polling was notoriously inaccurate. When things shift on the weekend, it usually doesn't worry me.

I've also read many times that Obama needs to be up at least ten points to feel fairly secure. He's also spending money in places you wouldn't expect.

He got whacked by all the other pollsters and "corrected" the poll to make it more inline with the rest of them. Their main strategy is still to suppress republican votes, we can only hope it actually results in suppressing the dem vote by making them think its already over. Hopefully those young and dumb college kids will opt for a premature victory party instead of voting.

Zogby is nuts. He shifts 12 points in one day -- no way. Halloween and weekend effect combined to give him an extremely low percentage of families with kids.

He was the most unreliable pollster in 2004.
