ABC's 'Nightline' Pauses Its Obama Gushing; Jake Tapper Challenges Candidate
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 17 Jun 2008 10:57 PM EDT
On Monday's "Nightline," ABC reporter Jake Tapper challenged Barack Obama over the fact that "there has not been a terrorist attack within the U.S. since 9/11." He pointedly asked Obama to provide an example of when he has actually reached across the aisle to break from Democratic orthodoxy and generally proved that it is possible for the Obama-friendly program to ask tough questions of the Democratic candidate More>>>
Telegraph: President Barack Obama would be bad for Britain

If this country's voters could vote in America, John McCain could take the summer off. So thorough would be his drubbing that no campaigning on his part could save him from an enforced return to the Senate. As British and most other foreign observers see it, Barack Obama is the second coming. More>>>
America's Homegrown Troop Killers

It's bad enough that Americans are bad-mouthing American troops fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. But an alarming number of Muslim-Americans are plotting to kill them. It's a story you don't like to hear from the mainstream media: U.S. soldiers increasingly are the prime targets of terrorism, both at home and abroad. And those who want to do them harm include fellow citizens. More>>>

Dodd (D-Conn.), along with Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), spent much of Tuesday afternoon answering questions from a swarm of reporters pressing them on why they received lower rates on their mortgages and whether they think they received special treatment because they are Senate committee chairmen.

McCain Seeks to End Offshore Drilling Ban
by

on Tue 17 Jun 2008 09:07 PM EDT
Sen. John McCain called yesterday for an end to the federal ban on offshore oil drilling, offering an aggressive response to high gasoline prices and immediately drawing the ire of environmental groups that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee has courted for months. The move is aimed at easing voter anger over rising energy prices by freeing states to open vast stretches of the country's coastline to oil exploration. More>>>

Democrat Barack Obama says he'll take no lectures from Republicans on who will keep America safer. GOP rival John McCain's campaign criticized Obama Tuesday for speaking approvingly of the successful prosecution of terrorists. A McCain aide said, "Obama is a perfect manifestation of a September 10th mind-set" and does not understand the dangers posed by U.S. adversaries. Not that Barry has offered any solutions on getting Bin Laden other than invading Pakistan...- Riley More>>>

Team Obama: Osama deserves a trial in an American Courtroom
by

on Tue 17 Jun 2008 04:24 PM EDT
Barack Obama's foreign policy advisers said Tuesday that Osama bin Laden, if captured, should be allowed to appeal his case to U.S. civilian courts, a privilege opposed by John McCain. Responding to questions from The Examiner, Sen. John Kerry and former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke said bin Laden would benefit from last week's Supreme Court decision giving terrorism suspects habeas corpus, the right to appeal their military detention to civilian courts. “If he were to be brought back,” Clarke said of bin Laden, “the Supreme Court ruling holds on the right of habeas corpus.” More>>>

10 Movie Sequels That Came Out Waaaaaaaaay Too Late
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 17 Jun 2008 01:39 PM EDT
#8 on the list: Live Free or Die Hard. This movie’s not nearly as egregious as the others on this list, but it perfectly embodies all four signs that a sequel is truly, truly desperate: 1) Traditional R-Rating traded in for a PG-13 to appeal to a wider audience, even if it means covering up the film’s catchphrase with a gunshot sound effect; 2) Title weirdly rephrased so it doesn’t involve the really high number of the sequel; 3) Lead actor now stylishly bald to mask the fact that he’s fifty-two; and, of course, 4) Waaacky Sidekick!!!

School Choice Under Attack: Many a Child left Behind

on Tue 17 Jun 2008 01:28 PM EDT
Voucher programs and public charter schools are under attack all over the country by the very people who like to justify more federal programs than I can possibly list here as needed “for the children.” The problem is that in the liberal ideological and political world, the interests of the “children” almost always take a back seat to their belief that every interest must be serviced through government and unionized government workers or not at all.

Dave Roberts basically parlayed one famous stolen base for the Red Sox in the 2004 American League Championship Series (helping spur the club's memorable comeback against the Yankees) into lucrative free agent money. He's averaged a so-so .275 BA and 75 runs per season for the Padres and Giants ever since, breaking the 115 game mark (of a possible 162) just once. Article>>> Gallery>>>

Stan Sheyn, a white student who attends community college in this working-class Detroit suburb, supports Barack Obama for president. But he has no time for what he calls "double standards and propagation of victim mentality." "The fact that a black man can run for the position of the President of the United States of America only corroborates that there is enough opportunity and equality for great things like that to happen," he says. "And that there is no need to create special advantages for any demographic group." More>>> |
