As new cars hit the market, the market is pondering -- at what cost? According to Kelley Blue Book's marketing research of in-market new- and used-car shoppers for June 2008, vehicle sticker costs coupled with rising gasoline prices are causing consumers to delay new-car buying and penny-pinch in other areas, such as dinners out, coffee runs and trips to the ballgame or the mall. Survey respondents also stated that they didn't t see the situation getting any better -- ever More>>>

on Mon 30 Jun 2008 06:26 PM EDT
Nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden has created several lists of healthful foods people should be eating but aren’t. But some of his favorites, like purslane, guava and goji berries, aren’t always available at regular grocery stores. I asked Dr. Bowden, author of “The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth,” to update his list with some favorite foods that are easy to find but don’t always find their way into our shopping carts. Here’s his advice. More>>>

"I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president,” former NATO Commander Wesley Clark told Face the Nation on Sunday. “In the matters of national security policy making, it’s a matter of understanding risk.” The Hillary-Clinton-turned-Barack-Obama-supporter continued: “It’s a matter of gauging your opponents and it’s a matter of being held accountable. John McCain’s never done any of that in his official positions." More>>>
The Meaning of the DC Gun Case Decision
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 30 Jun 2008 12:27 PM EDT
The Supreme Court's decision striking down Washington, D.C.’s restrictive gun ban represented an individual interpretation of the Second Amendment, affirming each American’s right to keep and bear arms (with some restrictions)—as opposed to a collectivist interpretation giving that privilege only to the state. However, in the media buzz (and conservative rejoicing) over the opinion, it should be not overlooked that many questions remain unanswered. More>>>

A full century after the mysterious Tunguska explosion in Siberia leveled an area nearly the size of Tokyo, debate continues over what caused it. Many questions remain as to what crashed into the Earth from above -- how big it was and what it was made of. Some question whether it even came from space at all, or whether it erupted from the ground instead. More>>>

Politico: Some on left target McCain's war record
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 30 Jun 2008 11:09 AM EDT
But farther to the left—and among some of McCain's conservative enemies as well—harsher attacks are circulating. Critics have accused McCain of war crimes for bombing targets in Hanoi in the 1960s. Sunday, a widely read liberal blog accused McCain of "disloyalty" during his captivity in Vietnam for his coerced participation in propaganda films and interviews after he’d been tortured. If the best the the morally bankrupt Neo-coM Left can come up with is to attack McCain for being tortured and brutalized for being a Patriot, then I think this race is over. These attacks smack of desperation. - Riley More>>>

North Korea blew up the cooling tower at its Yongbyon nuclear plant the other day.

Obamamaniacs attempting to shut down anti-Obama websites?
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 30 Jun 2008 08:55 AM EDT
It looks like Google has officially joined the Barack Obama campaign and decided that its contribution would be to shut down any blog on the Google owned Blogspot.com blogging system that has an anti-Obama message. Yes, it sure seems that Google has begun to go through its many thousands of blogs to lock out the owners of anti-Obama blogs so that the noObama message is effectively squelched. Thus far, Google has terminated the access by blog owners to 7 such sites and the list may be growing. Boy, it must be nice for Barack Obama to have an ally powerful enough to silence his opponents like that! More>>> One of the websites in question: "On Wednesday night, June 25, Blogger received reports that my blog was a spam blog. Blogger then blocked my ability to create new posts until they completed their review. The blocking of my blog, coincided with the blocking of at least 6 other blogs, all part of the Just Say No Deal Coalition." More>>>

The most powerful atom-smasher ever built could make some bizarre discoveries, such as invisible matter or extra dimensions in space, after it is switched on in August. But some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists' wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth? Or spit out particles that could turn the planet into a hot dead clump? More>>>

San Francisco juvenile probation officials - citing the city's immigrant sanctuary status - are protecting Honduran youths caught dealing crack cocaine from possible federal deportation and have given some offenders a city-paid flight home with carte blanche to return. The city's practices recently prompted a federal criminal investigation into whether San Francisco has been systematically circumventing U.S. immigration law, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.

Battered by six consecutive exonerations of Marines accused in a highly publicized case, military prosecutors face new difficulties in obtaining convictions against the two remaining defendants charged with wrongdoing in the deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha. The latest blow came June 17, when a judge ruled that unlawful command influence had irreparably tainted the dereliction-of-duty prosecution against the battalion commander at Haditha, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani and that the charges would be dismissed. More>>>
Chávez-linked church decried

on Sun 29 Jun 2008 09:01 PM EDT
A church modeled in part after one in Miami but with a ''revolutionary'' spirit that praises Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez is now at the center of a religious and social controversy in Venezuela. Although it has adopted many of the symbols and rites of Roman Catholicism, the new Reform Catholic Venezuelan Church departs from traditional belief in some key ways. For example, reformists consider that ''homosexuality and bisexuality are not sins in and of themselves.'' More>>>
