by

The Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-OK) announced today that it has filed an EEOC complaint on behalf of a Muslim woman who was allegedly denied employment at an Abercrombie Kids store in that state because of the applicant's religiously-mandated headscarf, or hijab. The woman told CAIR-OK that a district manager claimed he could not hire her because her Islamic headscarf "does not fit the Abercrombie image." More>>>
McCain’s Reverend Wright?
by

Instead of focusing on Hagee’s rebuttal of the mainstream media, many news outlets this year focused instead on a speech made by Senator Joseph Lieberman, a long-time colleague of John McCain's. The question seems to be, does the Senator’s attendance imply that McCain still supports Pastor Hagee’s work? Washington Times correspondent Stephen Dinan suggests that it does. “But is Lieberman, who has repeatedly served as a top surrogate for McCain’s campaign, speaking tomorrow for McCain, who unceremoniously dumped Hagee?,” writes Dinan. “The McCain campaign didn’t immediately return a call on Lieberman’s role, but Lieberman’s Senate office says this is not a surrogate event...Still, when some-time surrogates meet former surrogates in the heat of campaign season, it’s bound to raise questions.” More>>>

In light of the Supreme Court's recent ruling that Gitmo detainees are protected by the U.S. Constitution’s habeas corpus protections, Gohmert wants to move the controversial jail to the Supreme Court grounds, "confined by adequate fencing." "There can be no better way for the United States Supreme Court to exercise its new self-appointed war powers than to house the prisoners whom it has taken a greater role in overseeing," Gohmert writes.

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked Thursday about the effusive praise from GOP Senator John McCain reported this week in The Chronicle, after he called her ''an inspiration to millions.'' The Democrat from San Francisco delivered her reaction -- with a big smile, of course -- that was nothing if not pointed, adeptly managing to hit both right wing concerns about McCain and liberal talking points at the same time.

At key moments in his adolescence, Barack Obama could not turn to a father he hardly knew. Instead, he looked to a left-leaning black journalist and poet for advice on living in a world of black and white. Frank Marshall Davis had his opinions. He once argued that the public schools of his youth prepared neither blacks nor whites for "life in a multiracial, democratic nation." He called hypocrisy "a national trait of American whites."

Phony 'Emergency'

Barack Obama's newly unveiled "Emergency Economic Plan" is quite a document, sounding more like the rantings of an extremist fringe candidate than a serious contender for the presidency The six-page package is a doozy, replete with populist ideas that will wreck the economy and leave us poorer. The only real emergency we should worry about is the debacle that would follow its passage. More>>>

51% of Californians back offshore drilling
by

on Sat 02 Aug 2008 01:34 AM EDT
With high oil prices and calls from President Bush and Republican presidential aspirant Sen. John McCain to open coastal waters to domestic production, support for drilling has jumped, particularly among Republicans, the poll says. Support increases with age and is slightly higher among men than women. But as the price of oil hovers around $120 per barrel, double the cost a year ago, support for drilling has increased even among Democrats and independents, says the survey of 2,504 adult residents polled across the state July 8-22.

on Sat 02 Aug 2008 01:05 AM EDT
Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and other GOP leaders opposed the motion to adjourn the House, arguing that Pelosi's refusal to schedule a vote allowing offshore drilling is hurting the American economy. They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m., and they are busy bashing Pelosi and her fellow Democrats for leaving town for the August recess...."This is the people's House," said Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.). "This is not Pelosi's politiburo." More>>>

by

on Sat 02 Aug 2008 12:51 AM EDT
It takes some big numbers to measure Rush Limbaugh’s success — 20 million listeners, a $400 million contract. But the best index of Limbaugh’s effectiveness can be found in a much smaller figure, somewhere between a few dozen and a few hundred, which is the number of Democratic-party officials and liberal advocates who want to use the law to shut him up.
