Bush Confesses to Waterboarding. Call D.C. Cops!
Why Is America So Mean?
Chicago Tribune, in an editorial: "For a man who so resents being summed up in sound bites, the Rev.
São Paulo, Brazil - As Israel celebrates 60 years of statehood this month, Palestinians are taking the opportunity to remember the catastrophic shattering of their society in 1948. It is not simply a question of recalling the past; they continue to struggle for self-determination and to have their rights recognized under international law.
Creators Syndicate - Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Sen. Barack Obama's spiritual advisor and former pastor, holds a charter membership in the white-man-done-me-wrong, things-remain-the-same, we-feel-your-pain club.
High Unemployment and High Inflation Make This Recession Different
Washington (The Weekly Standard) Vol. 013, Issue 33 - 5/12/2008 - Last week's highly entertaining episode of the Jeremiah Wright Show didn't tell us anything new about the demagogic reverend. He stands by his sick notion that American foreign policy and jihadist terrorism are equivalent, his defense of Louis Farrakhan, and his wacky conspiracy theory that the AIDS virus was cooked up by the federal government.
Whew! I'm certainly glad to hear the "snippets" from Rev. Jeremiah Wright's sermons "in context."
"College is only the first step in what today must be life-long learning. But, to start in a place you chose, after all, makes it special. Welcome, Dani!"
Jimmy Carter returned from his visit to Hamas, having embarrassed his country, infuriated the Israelis, and accomplished nothing.
The Democrats' "Fake-Out America" adviser, Berkeley linguistics professor George Lakoff, must be beside himself. Despite Lakoff's years spent training Democrats to "frame" their language to stop scaring Americans, B. Hussein Obama was caught on tape speaking candidly to other liberals in San Francisco last week.
After Reverend Wright-gate, after landing under sniper fire-gate and even after unseated delegate-gate, Americans will be left with a choice between two candidates with vastly different views on the major policy issues confronting our nation today. The winner of the Obama-Clinton showdown will be virtually indistinguishable on matters of policy from the loser. One of the many issues on which they are in lockstep is health care.
Creators Syndicate - "Sen. Obama, you also oppose Bush tax cuts, and claim that they take money away from the Treasury. But President Kennedy signed across-the-board tax cuts in the 1960s and said, 'It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low — and the soundest way to raise revenues in the long run is to cut rates now.' Was he wrong?"
Next week, China's majority ethnic group, the Han, will celebrate the Olympic torch's arrival on Mt. Everest. It will be a pinnacle experience, literally, for a people who see the Beijing Games as their ascendency to restored world glory. One problem, though: Everest's peak is in Tibet.
The senior U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, will have "all the time he needs," President Bush vowed earlier this month. But whether the United States has all the troops it needs — for Iraq, Afghanistan and other potential world hot spots — is another matter entirely.
Creators Syndicate - Would President John McCain forget who made that call at 3 a.m. to the special White House phone? I suspect that his aides would not just let him nod off back to sleep, even if they were intimidated by the prospect of one of his alleged intemperate outbursts. But might our septuagenarian president be less than fully focused?
Creators Syndicate - The Bill Moyers PBS interview of Barack Obama's longtime minister, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, underlined once again that our tax dollars don't fund programs championing racial harmony.
