View Article  Newsweek Uses Year-End Edition to Take Potshots at Palin
by Roland, the Gunslinger on Fri 26 Dec 2008 06:15 PM EST


Newsweek sprinkled throughout its year-end double issue, with Barack Obama on the cover as the #1 member of “The New Global Elite,” a bunch of potshots at Sarah Palin -- and even derided teen daughter Bristol too. In a list of those who committed “low behavior” during 2008 (which did at least also highlight John Edwards), the magazine accused Sarah Palin of a “smear” against Barack Obama, on another page Newsweek described her as an “ill-informed, inarticulate shopaholic” (while on the same page hailing MSNBC's Rachel Maddow as a “brilliant” woman who “gives libs a happy new voice”)

View Article  Fallen soldier's words deliver an enduring message
by Roland, the Gunslinger on Fri 26 Dec 2008 01:27 AM EST


The Christmas card from a stranger wishing him and his fellow soldiers a happy holiday brought some peace to the Army medic whose emotions were raw from war.

Ida Pavesi of Pennsylvania and had never met Aurora native Sgt. Ryan John Baum, but the card he opened in Iraq two years ago connected them in a way that only now is becoming apparent.

Baum wrote back to Pavesi thanking her and saying he forwarded the card to another soldier. He also asked Pavesi and other Americans to keep the letters and cards coming during the holiday season. But for some reason, the letter, sealed in an envelope, was never mailed.

View Article  Muslims Erect ‘Allah Has No Son’ Banner in Nazareth
by Roland, the Gunslinger on Fri 26 Dec 2008 01:08 AM EST


Nazareth Mayor Ramiz Jaraisy played down concerns that a banner effectively denying Jesus’ deity was provocative to Christians, although he did question its position, in front of Nazareth’s most prominent landmark.

“I don’t think that it’s provocative against anyone,” he said. “My point of view [is] that it’s not the right place to put it and it’s not the right way to do that.”

But Jaraisy said he would not remove the banner because some Islamic fundamentalist groups were looking to provoke a confrontation in order to promote their cause. He did not want to provide them with that opportunity.

View Article  Dick Morris: Hey Caroline, You're Not Entitled
by Roland, the Gunslinger on Fri 26 Dec 2008 12:48 AM EST


She hasn't had a job since before she went to law school in the 1980s.

So, why should Caroline be appointed senator?

Does anyone seriously believe that her audacious grab for the New York Senate seat is based on anything more than a misplaced and somewhat grandiose sense of entitlement coupled with a cynical claim of access to big money for the next election?

If her name weren't Kennedy, would anyone give any consideration at all to someone without any experience to prepare her for the job or to even inform the voters about what she stands for?
