Asked whether the crisis, which has seen the US government step in to bail out mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, was the worst of his career, Greenspan replied "Oh, by far." "There's no question that this is in the process of outstripping anything I've seen, and it still is not resolved and it still has a way to go," Greenspan said. "And indeed, it will continue to be a corrosive force until the price of homes in the United States stabilizes. More>>>
Jihadists: We'll Kill McCartney If He Plays In Israel
by

This story takes me back to misspent nights of my youth, gathered with friends to spin The White Album backwards on a turntable (ask your parents what that thing was, kids) and hearing John Lennon saying, or seeming to say, "Paul is a dead man. Miss him, miss him, miss him." But Paul McCartney is still not dead, and he is showing some moral courage here in the face of jihadist threats. More>>>

#7- Caligula and His Horse Ah love, it can be a beautiful, inspiring and, in some cases, kind of sickening thing. Unlike the candlelit world of romantic comedies, real life relationships often involve ball gags and people with more than one set of genitals. Here are some of the couples that prove that love has no boundaries, even though we're starting to wish it did. More>>>

Al Gore, left, and Clay McKinney stand on his houseboat, Bio-Solar One, which the Gores keep docked on Center Hill Lake. His large Nashville home, utility bills and jet travels have drawn flamethrowers over the last year and a half. Now, it's a houseboat he bought this summer. "Here's the good news for him," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "It doesn't matter a whit. He's out of politics. He's won the Nobel Prize, the Academy Award and goodness knows what else. ... He's got the last laugh on anybody." More>>>

Islamic law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases. The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence. Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through county courts or the country's High Court, a part of its Supreme Court system.

The 5 Most Baffling Spin-Offs in Television History
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 15 Sep 2008 02:50 PM EDT
A TV spin-off is almost bad by definition: it's whatever is left when an executive draws a big circle around the characters people actually care about and says, "let's write a pilot without these people." But the truly terrible TV spin-offs are awful on a whole different level. They take these characters and wedge them into some pointless or ill-fitting premise that makes us care about them even less. Here are five spin-offs that truly make us wonder what the fuck they were thinking. More>>>

by

Here Obama is, in an interview, laying out his job qualifications for the US Senate, and one of the things he cites as a qualification is being the Chairman of the Board for the Annenberg Challenge, which was set up by Bill Ayers himself, including a “meet the candidate” event for Obama hosted at Bill ayers home. Things just keep geting worse and worse for the “Unknown Chosen One”. Oh and then we see Obama on tape citing his friends Pfleger and Wright. How did Obama’s time on the Annenberg Challenge board go from being a key bullet-point in his resume — by his own accounting — to one the media refuses to even mention? More>>>

Democrat activists should stop digging
by

If Barack Obama loses this election to John McCain – something which, for the first time, I regard as a real possibility – history will point to August 29 as the pivotal moment. That was when Mr McCain announced that Sarah Palin would be his running-mate, and when livid Democrats and their friends in the media voiced their feelings about her and much of the electorate, and gravely harmed their candidate’s prospects.

Tennessee Democratic Party leaders voided a bitterly contested Senate primary result on Saturday, a move likely to result in the ouster of the Senate's second-most-powerful member, Sen. Rosalind Kurita, and a hard-fought victory for her opponent.
