In an interview that aired Sunday, McCain was asked whether he supported an effort to get a referendum on the ballot in Arizona that would do away with race and gender-based preferences, known as affirmative action.

The boy's family does not understand why police would have tasered the the teen 19 times after he was so seriously injured. More>>>

All pricing data was provided by JATO Dynamics, a U.K.-based research and analysis firm that tracks auto prices around the world. More>>>
Why Bush has been a liberal's best friend
by
Riley Jones
on Sun 27 Jul 2008 12:08 PM EDT
Obama is riding the crest of the global wave of relief that Bush is leaving. A wave that is about to break. It doesn't know it, but the liberal-left in Europe and North America has been lucky to have Bush. By building him up into a great Satan, the oil man who invades countries to seize their reserves and the Christian who orders bloody crusades, they have hidden the totalitarian threats of our age from themselves and anyone who listens to them. Bush allowed them to explain away radical Islam as an understandable, even legitimate, response to the hypocrisies and iniquities of American policy. More>>>

For Knight Rider 3.0, KITT Mustang Gets a Supercomputer Upgrade

SAN DIEGO — The annual Comic-Con geekfest here is as good a place as any to set the high-tech record straight on NBC's new Knight Rider series. After all, fans of the original cult hit still needed to be sold on the concept after objecting to February's two-hour movie, which upgraded KITT from a Pontiac Trans Am to a Mustang Shelby but overlooked many of the notoriously gadget-loaded car's key features—most egregiously its trademark car-jumping device.

It’s tough to think of a man who carried the torch of business further than Henry Ford. Ford became famous for pioneering the assembly line and in the process, becoming the first man to successfully mass produce automobiles.

The swastika, the symbol of Nazism, still provokes strong feelings of fear and anger. So it was something of a shock when late this week the swastika suddenly hit the top of Google's Hot Trends page, which tracks the 100 terms that U.S. Google users are searching for most furiously. It hovered there for several hours, then disappeared from the list.
It became the Web mystery du jour: How did the swastika get there, why did it become so popular and who, or what, caused its demise? More>>>

Eventually, we will all hate Obama too

It amuses me that some of those who criticise the present US Administration for its Manichaeism - its division of the world into good and evil - themselves allocate all past badness to Bush and all prospective goodness to Obama. As the ever-improving myth has it, on the morning of September 12, 2001, George W. and America enjoyed the sympathy of the world. This comradeship was destroyed, in a uniquely cavalier (or should we say cowboyish) fashion, through the belligerence, the carelessness, the ideological fixity and the rapacity of that amorphous and useful category of American flawed thinker, the neoconservative.
