What is their problem? News reports suggest that disgruntled Clinton supporters are angry about alleged sexism in the coverage of her campaign, while other Democrats are upset at Obama's recent moves toward the center. The second complaint is childish. Securing your base and then moving to the center is the fundamental move of politics, like the basic steps of the fox-trot. And Obama is hardly responsible for Clinton's press coverage. But there is no easy way these folks can vent their anger at Chris Matthews.
Amid all the talk of new voters becoming involved in the election, hopefully one group of voters will not vote in November — non-citizens, many of whom are illegally registered to vote all over the country, particularly in the southwest. Although there is no reliable method to determine the exact number registered aliens, there is evidence that this is a significant and growing problem.
Coleman explained that through history Earth has shifted between two basic climate regimes: ice ages and what paleoclimatologists call “interglacial periods.” He said for the past 10,000 years Earth has been in an interglacial period.
That might be called nature’s global warming because what happens during an interglacial period is Earth warms up. The glaciers melt and life flourishes. “Clearly from our point of view, an interglacial period is greatly preferred to the deadly rigors of an ice age . . . Mr. Gore and his crowd would have us believe that the activities of man have overwhelmed nature during this interglacial period and are producing an unprecedented out of control warming.”
Democratic candidate Barack Obama has agreed to start wearing an iron-clad chastity belt on the campaign trail after the Rev. Jesse Jackson was heard saying he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off.
#95, Mischa Barton: Best known for her work in the teen hit The O.C., oh, and dating that scuzzy guy Brandon Davis for a minute, Barton was arrested in 2007. She was apparently pulled over after driving all over the road. Hello! Don’t be driving all over the road when you are drunk/high and don’t have a license. I can’t think of a better time to focus on staying between the two white lines, I mean yellow and white….you know, in your lane. She got charged with two misdemeanors and a DUI and is on probation for three years.
Zondervan, for its part, issued a statement to the Grand Rapids press stating it does not translate the Bible or own the copyright for any of the translations it publishes
“We rely on the scholarly judgment of the highly respected and credible translation committees behind each translation and never alter the text of the translations we are licensed to publish,” the statement reads.
“We only publish credible translations produced by credible Biblical scholars.”
Last week’s daring rescue of 15 Colombian hostages held by the Marxist FARC has been universally hailed as a triumph of military strategy. But at least one group besides the gulled guerilla jailers looks diminished in its aftermath: Congressional Democrats.
For past three decades, Europe has been following the trend of saying goodbye to air pollution and smoky chimneys but a new study has shown that cleaning up the skies has allowed more of the sun's rays to pierce the atmosphere, contributing to at least half the global warming that has occurred
The Bush administration on Wednesday symbolically opened the nation's arms to as many as 27,500 endangered Iraqis who have rendered ''faithful and valuable service" to Uncle Sam since the invasion of Iraq.The branch of the Department of Homeland Security that handles immigration applications unveiled guidelines for admitting up to an estimated 5,000 additional Iraqis in each of the next five years who face ''an ongoing serious threat" stemming from their ties ..
President Bush is poised to sign a bill that overhauls the bitterly disputed rules on secret government eavesdropping and grants immunity to telecommunications companies that helped the U.S. spy on Americans in suspected terrorism cases. The Senate sent the measure to the president on Wednesday and he is to sign it in a Rose Garden ceremony Thursday afternoon.
AS of today, the majority of the iconic Chrysler Building should be in the - we expect - happy hands of the Abu Dhabi Investment Council.
The nearly $800 million deal, first reported by The Post on June 11, by the Middle East sovereign wealth fund included the purchase of 90 percent of the ownership stake while leaving local Tishman Speyer Properties as the manager of the 77-story tower.
"Defense officials are criticizing what they say is the failure to capture or kill top al Qaeda leaders because of timidity on the part of policy officials in the Pentagon, diplomats at the State Department and risk-averse bureaucrats within the intelligence community."
But we have to keep the bureaucrats from wetting their pants. -Riley
I never knew -- and you never knew, unless you read one of the two honest obituaries this past week -- that in 1962 Helms and his wife "Dot" adopted a 9-year-old orphan with cerebral palsy. They already had two daughters and Helms was 41 years old at the time. But it was Christmastime and they read about Charlie in a newspaper. He said all he wanted for Christmas was a mother and father.
Blogger Doug Ross describes, with pics, the threat that high-altitude EMP blasts represent to the free world and how a well-motivated terrorist group or regime could make it a reality. Based on Warfooting: Report of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the US from EMP Attack
Tesha Miller, the reputed leader of the Clansman gang, could be charged with possession of contraband after the police took a cellphone from his butt yesterday.
Miller, who is currently incarcerated at the Horizon Remand Centre, was initially arrested after he was alleged to have breached the conditions of his bail.
Apparently, this eBay business is huge. But not nearly as huge as the ripping-people-off-on-eBay business. Yes, misleading pictures, tricky language and exorbitant shipping sums have screwed people out of money time and time again.
We asked you to take a stab at photoshopping a vision of eBay where everyone had to tell the truth, even eBay.
"Make sure your kids can speak Spanish." Ok, Barry I speak Spanish. My kids are learning Spansih and Not because you told us to do so. And not because you and your pals are allowing the US to be overrun with illegals. We don't need you telling us how to run our lives or that we need to accomodate millions of people who are here (and probably voting) illegally.-Riley
Here we go again. You’ll all remember how the MSM brought us the first Fauxtography-fest in the summer of 2006. Well, the photo fakers and their dupes in the media are baaaack. And the blogosphere’s all over them.
In what will be his first job since the blockbuster "Iron Man," Robert Downey Jr. is set to star in "Sherlock Holmes," the drama that Guy Ritchie will direct for Warner Bros.
Downey committed to the pic, which begins shooting in October, after Ritchie turned in a polish of the latest version of the script, written by Anthony Peckham.
WSJ: The richest 1% of tax filers will have paid more than 40% of the income tax burden. The top 50% will account for 97% of all federal income taxes, while the bottom 50% will have paid just 3%. And Obama is going to fix this
But Barack Obama has decided the rich still don't pay enough. He would redistribute the tax burden even more heavily on small business owners and the entrepreneurial class (two-thirds of the tax filers in the highest income tax bracket are small-business owners.) The nonpartisan Tax Foundation's Scott Hodge has just crunched the numbers on the Obama plan and concludes that "more than $131 billion would be redistributed from the top 1 percent of taxpayers to all other taxpayers."
She looks like she’s gone ten rounds with Rocky - but it’s only the beginning for Brigitte ‘We Can Rebuild Her’ Nielsen.
Over two million Germans tuned in on prime-time TV to watch the latest reality show shocker - the ex-wife of Sly Stallone getting a total plastic-surgery makeover.
Brigitte, whose breasts stayed buoyant while her movie career sagged, signed up for the ultimate in questionable taste telly; going under the knife in a bid to look young once more.
In an effort to blunt the controversy, Jackson issued an apology.
"For any harm or hurt that this hot mic conversation may have caused, I apologize," Jackson said in a statement.
Jackson said he couldn't recall everything he'd said in the studio but couched the remarks as part of a discussion about Obama speaking to black churchgoers.
In such settings, Obama has urged greater emphasis on fatherhood, advised parents to choose reading books over playing video games and most recently told young students to stick with school and forget about a career as a rap star or professional basketball player.
Jackson said that in doing so Obama was hurting his relationship with black voters, "that the senator was cutting off his you-know-whats with the black people and black churches."
As the more honest book version points out, Chris Gardner apparently wasn't quite the father the film made him out to be. First, he was so focused on getting a job and earning his first million that, well, he actually didn't even know where his son was for the first four months of the program.
Chris, Jr. was apparently living at this point in time with his mother, Jackie. Did we mention that the boy had been conceived when Gardner was still married to another woman? In addition, instead of being arrested just before his big interview due to parking tickets ... well, it seems that Chris was actually arrested after Jackie accused him of domestic violence.
At some point in your life you are likely to find yourself a participant in a bar fight. These altercations occur for various reasons, but can usually be attributed to some drunken chump who couldn't keep his mouth shut, couldn't take 'no' for an answer, or couldn't handle the fact you just snatched up his lady's digits while he was peter-gazing in the urinal. Regardless of whether or not that drunken chump is you, it is all about self preservation. Here are some tips for surviving such a confrontation or avoiding it altogether.
