McCain takes lead over Obama: poll Wed Aug 20, 2008 4:19pm EDT By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday. McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama's solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll. The reversal follows a month of attacks by McCain, who has questioned Obama's experience, criticized his opposition to most new offshore oil drilling and mocked his overseas trip. http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN1927197620080820?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&rpc=22&sp=true Having tons of money, running lots of commercial, the non bounce from Hillary & the fake overseas trip to "look" presidential Barry should be way ahead.

Why Obama's Red [:'(]Mentor is News
By James Lewis
Barack Obama is still an enigma because a lot of his life has been carefully hidden, as National Review's David Freddoso points out in The Case Against Barack Obama. His campaign is hypersensitive because his life is filled with awkward facts and dubious associations. Obama has declared his personal history out of bounds and scrubbed it clean. The media are obediently censoring things we need to know. The most obvious example is Obama's adolescent mentor and father figure, Frank Marshall Davis.
Frank Davis was one angry black guy, at a time when the South was still segregated and there was plenty of reason for anger. Unlike most black people at the time, however -- like the extraordinary families who raised young Clarence Thomas and Condoleezza Rice in the Deep South -- Davis became a member of the Communist Party and glorified über-tyrant Jozef Stalin in his writing and poetry. This at a time when Stalin was ordering the deaths of tens of millions of people, and indeed enslaved millions of them in the Gulag, in forced communal farms, and in coercive factories all over the Soviet empire. Stalin was a slave-master and mass killer, as any informed person knew at that time. And Frank Davis must have known. There's a great difference between fighting racial injustice and pursuing racial vengeance, and Davis went for revenge against all of white America.
If you think Rev. Jeremiah[sm=icon_smile_evil.gif] Wright is over the top, Frank Davis was like that, just angrier. Senator Obama has long hung around with enraged radicals. Davis was apparently his first. Kids without parents often look desperately for father figures, who can have huge influence over their lives. Such, it appears, was Frank Marshall Davis for a young kid in Honolulu named Barry Obama. Obama's long line of rageful mentors and guides include Bill Ayers the Pentagon bomber, Jeremiah Wright the hate preacher, and Barack Obama Sr., a socialist-communist politician in Kenya, whose writings and letters still influenced Barack, Jr., even in his physical absence from his son's life. So we have a series of four radical mentors who shaped Obama's life. Those are just the ones we know about.

Putin Could Face ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ Charges, Experts Say
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer
(CNSNews.com) – Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s role in the military invasion of the former Soviet state of Georgia could lead to him facing charges for war crimes, the Georgian ambassador to the United States said at a discussion at the conservative Heritage Foundation on Monday.
[img]http://compsci.ca/tech/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/some_russian_tank.png[/img]
“We have to conduct a serious investigation in this regard,” said Ambassador Vasil Sikharulidze.
“What we would like to do is just to make all these places (in Georgia) very transparent, open for the free world, for the media, (and) international human rights activities,” he said.

US, Poland OK missile defense base, riling Moscow
Email this Story
Aug 20, 4:35 PM (ET)
By VANESSA GERA and MONIKA SCISLOWSKA
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - The United States and Poland signed a deal Wednesday to place a U.S. missile defense base just 115 miles from Russia - a move followed swiftly by a new warning from Moscow of a possible military response.
[img]http://www.dw-world.de/image/0,,1782771_1,00.jpg[/img]
For many Poles - whose country has been a staunch U.S. ally in Iraq and Afghanistan - the accord represented what they believed would be a guarantee of safety for themselves in the face of a newly assertive Russia.
Negotiators sealed the deal last week against a backdrop of Russian military action in Georgia, a former Soviet republic turned U.S. ally, that has worried former Soviet satellites across eastern Europe. It prompted Moscow's sharpest rhetoric yet over the system, which it contends is aimed at Russia despite Washington's insistence the site is purely defensive.

Texas state legislators challenging 'sanctuary cities' for illegal immigrants
David Paulin
In Texas, two Republican legislators are taking up the “forgotten” issue in the presidential election – illegal immigration. Specifically, they're seeking to challenge municipalities that declare themselves “sanctuary cities” for illegal immigrants. Houston and Austin, the state capital, are among dozens of American cities that might be described as having “open borders” in defiance of America's immigration laws. Not surprisingly, such cities have become havens for illegal immigrants, most of whom arrive illegally from Mexico and Central America.
Writing in today's Austin-American Statesman, reporter Juan Castillo explains that the Republican lawmakers are taking up the issue of sanctuary cities with Attorney General Greg Abbott:
In a letter sent to Abbott this month, Rep. Frank Corte Jr. of San Antonio and Sen. Dan Patrick of Houston asked whether the Texas Legislature has the authority to deter local governments from adopting policies — or to invalidate existing policies — that hinder state enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The Perils of a Lower Drinking Age
By Steve Chapman
Life is full of surprises, and some 100 college presidents think they have stumbled on one. They think there is too much problem drinking on campus -- no surprise there -- and suggest we might solve the problem by changing the drinking age. They don't propose to raise it to 25. They want to lower it to 18.
The group behind the petition they signed, Choose Responsibility, says the current drinking age is a failure. It has "not resulted in significant constructive behavioral change among our students," the statement says, and in fact has spawned "a culture of dangerous, clandestine 'binge-drinking' -- often conducted off-campus."
It's true that in the old days, there was no college culture of clandestine, off-campus binge drinking. It was out in the open, right on the quad. Another difference back then: There was more of it.

New Reasons Not to Mix Fruit Juices, Meds
Wednesday, August 20, 2008 9:31 AM
Grapefruit, orange and apple juices can harm the body's ability to absorb certain medications and make the drugs less effective, said a Canadian study released Tuesday in the United States.
The research showed that these juices can decrease the effectiveness of certain drugs used to treat heart disease, cancer, organ-transplant rejection and infection, "potentially wiping out their beneficial effects," it said.
David Bailey, a professor of clinical pharmacology with the University of Western Ontario and leader of the study, was the first researcher to identify grapefruit juice's potential to increase the absorption of certain drugs two decades ago, possibly turning some doses toxic.

California mulls probing senator over IndyMac crash
Wed Aug 20, 2008 6:51pm EDT
By John Poirier
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - California's attorney general is reviewing a request by former employees of IndyMac Bancorp Inc to investigate whether a New York senator triggered the bank's collapse by releasing confidential information.[sm=thumbsup.gif]
At issue is a much-publicized letter that Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, sent in June to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) and Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) questioning the company's ability to survive.
The FDIC took control of IndyMac on July 11 after depositors withdrew more than $1.3 billion over 11 days. It was the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history. At the time, OTS Director John Reich blamed Schumer's letter for causing the run on the bank.

MAYOR'S '3RD TERM' MANEUVER
By SALLY GOLDENBERG and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Mayor Bloomberg today for the first time left the door open to considering an extension of term limits.
At a press conference, Bloomberg explained that the City Council has the legal power to pass a bill that would change term limits, which was enacted and reaffirmed by public referendum.
"I don't know what the City Council is going to do," he said. "My job, if the City Council comes to us with a piece of legislation, we will look at it, we will consider it and we'll make what I hope is an informed judgment into what is in the best interest of the city."

Although I like the mayor & many thought crime would skyrocket after Rudy left; I'd rather see our more conservative Police Commish, former Marine, former DEA head, etc. as our next mayor.

Federal report refutes 9/11 conspiracy theory
Investigators say fire — not explosives — brought down nearby skyscraper
Roberto Borea / AP
updated 6:54 p.m. ET, Thurs., Aug. 21, 2008
GAITHERSBURG, Md. - Federal investigators said Thursday they have solved a mystery of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks: the collapse of World Trade Center building 7, a source of long-running conspiracy theories.
The 47-story trapezoid-shaped building sat north of the World Trade Center towers, across Vesey Street in lower Manhattan in New York. On Sept. 11, it was set on fire by falling debris from the burning towers, but skeptics long have argued that fire and debris alone should not have brought down such a big steel-and-concrete structure.
Scientists with the National Institute of Standards and Technology say their three-year investigation of the collapse determined the demise of WTC 7 was actually the first time in the world a fire caused the total failure of a modern skyscraper.

The Department of Labor reported this morning that 432,000 people filed for unemployment benefits in the past week - making this the fifth straight week that jobless claims topped the 400,000 mark.
And so far this year, there has been a loss of 463,000 jobs.

Obama prepares to name veep
Aug 22 11:36 AM US/Eastern
By LIZ SIDOTI
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama prepared to name his running mate, perhaps as early as Friday, from a small field that included at least one dark-horse finalist.
Democratic officials said little-known Texas Rep. Chet Edwards was one of the few Democrats whose background was checked by Obama's campaign and he was a finalist for the job.
Among others mentioned: Govs. Tim Kaine of Virginia and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, as well as Sens. Joe Biden of Delaware and Evan Bayh of Indiana

BB1 NOTE: I wouldn't be surprised if it is someone that would be a dark horse on either side---maybe Al Gore, Colin Powell, Gov. Barbour, Condi,Santourum--or who knows (the candidate does of course).[sm=flagamerican.jpg]
