on Mon 25 Aug 2008 07:51 PM EDT
Enraged by reports that Sen. Clinton was not even vetted to join the Obama ticket, some of her delegates are now circulating a petition to force a floor vote on Clinton for vice president...The delegate who organized the move, Texas high-school teacher Aaron Paz, says the petition needs at least 300 signatures. So far he has about 500 committments from national delegates to sign and circulate the petition. Paz & Co. recognize the uphill battle they face, but he says they have a "hospitality room, copies of the petition, clipboards, communication plans, timelines, speeches, floor rules and a strong dedication to make the party stronger with Hillary on the ticket."

Feder: Obama-nomics would send economy into nosedive
by

on Mon 25 Aug 2008 06:59 PM EDT
Someone needs to tell Barack Obama that the last time a Democrat won the White House with class warfare was 1948 (Truman vs. Dewey)...When a Democrat talks about cutting taxes for the middle class, he lacks -- what’s the word? -- credibility. The last Democrat who reduced the middle-class tax burden was John F. Kennedy. And in today’s political landscape, he’d be a Republican. More>>>

10 Reasons to Get Excited About Going Back to School
by

on Mon 25 Aug 2008 12:59 PM EDT
Some of the best memories I have of school were made while I was ditching it. If any film can teach us the merit of absence it’s the John Hughes classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Matthew Broderick’s turn as a charming slacker stands as the on-screen character that every high school male strives to be, so cool the band Save Ferris took their name after the donation fund discussed in the film. Broderick’s role is so good it almost makes me forgive him for starring in Godzilla. And you can never go wrong with one of the all-time babes, Mia Sara, in the role of Sloane Peterson. More>>>

It took seven years, but Charles Ulrich did something many people dream about, but few succeed at: He beat the IRS in a tax dispute. Not only that, but tax experts say potentially millions of other taxpayers could benefit from his victory.
The accountant from Baxter, Minn., challenged the method the IRS has used for more than 20 years to tax shares and cash distributed by mutual life insurance firms to their policyholders when they reorganize as public companies. A federal court recently agreed with his interpretation. More>>>

To that point, all I can say is the human race simply can't help it and the really ugly people need to get over it. More>>>
A little hypocrisy with your initiative, Michelle?
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 25 Aug 2008 02:06 AM EDT
Washington Post explains how Michelle Obama, an executive at the prestigious University of Chicago Medical Center, using Axelrod's PR firm, pushed her Urban Health Initiative for the purpose of steering poor and minorities away from using the more expensive services of the hospital's ER and towards utilizing less expensive local non-urgent care clinics. Not a bad idea, mind you, and perfectly reasonable, but aren't we supposed to be getting ready to destroy the current system of health care, according to the marxist Obamas, where evil insurance companies and hospitals and doctors and pharmaceuticals have been having to make decisions like this all along, but now when it's Michelle Obama facing the exact same kind of situation in her own hospital, lo and behold, she sides with the "big, evil hospital" and even brings in the big gun Axelrod firm to PR the issue. I think the word hypocrite applies here. - Roland (Hat tip to Mark Levin) More>>>

The Chinese government has not given any explanation. The United Nations officials pointed out that the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners was the most brutal between 2000 and 2005. This time period coincided with the surge in organ transplantation in China. More>>>
