California home sales surge as prices plummet
Sep 18 07:19 PM US/Eastern
By JACOB ADELMAN

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Home sales in California surged 13.6 percent in August as a flood of foreclosures drove down prices.



The figures released Thursday by MDA DataQuick showed 37,988 new and preowned homes were sold statewide last month, up 13.6 percent from August 2007 but down 3.8 percent from July.

The firm said 46.9 percent of all homes sold last month were foreclosed properties.

That helped send the statewide median home price plunging 35.3 percent to $301,000 during the year ended in August.

Never Sell America Short [Barry, Michelle & your socialist bomb throwing crew]
By Larry Kudlow

We can fix this. If nothing else, that’s the message I hope readers take away from this column. Of course, the “this” is the run on the world banking system. Stock markets have plunged globally, gold prices have shot up, and U.S. Treasury-bill rates have plummeted to 10 basis points, the lowest since the 1950s.



We’re witnessing a desperate flight to safety by investors. Folks are running away from financial assets and financial institutions simply because confidence has disappeared.

This week, Treasury secretary Hank Paulson said “no” to a government bailout of Lehman. Paulson and Ben Bernanke then took over AIG with an $85 billion bailout, with the Treasury issuing roughly $100 billion in new T-bills so the Fed has the cash to resuscitate AIG.

How to Cure This Sick System
Steve Forbes 09.11.08, 6:00 PM ET
Forbes Magazine dated October 06, 2008

Not even during the Great Depression did we witness what is now unfolding--a sizable number of big financial institutions going under. What enabled their taking on so much debt and so many questionable assets was, primarily, the easy-money policy of the Federal Reserve. Chairmen Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke created massive amounts of excess liquidity. If the dollar had been kept stable relative to gold, as it was between the end of WWII and the late 1960s, the scale of the bingeing in recent years would have been impossible.

The first prescription for a cure is to formally strengthen the dollar and announce it publicly. A year ago August the price of gold was more than $650 per ounce. In late 2003 it had breached $400. The Fed should declare that its goal for gold is around $500 to $550. That would stabilize the buck--and stability is essential if animal spirits and risk taking are to revive.

Also of immediate urgency is for regulators to suspend any mark-to-market rules for long-term assets. Short-term assets should not be given arbitrary values unless there are actual losses. The mark-to-market mania of regulators and accountants is utterly destructive. It is like fighting a fire with gasoline.

Congress Promises Quick Action on Bailout Package
‘Detox for banks,’ analyst says
Friday, September 19, 2008
By Jeannine Aversa and Julie Hirschfeld Davis, Associated Press



Washington (AP) - Congress promised quick action on a plan to buy up toxic assets, such as bad mortgages, held by troubled banks and other institutions, hoping to lift the nation out of its worst financial crisis in decades.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke are crafting a plan, which they plan to soon deliver to lawmakers, after concluding they need broader powers to combat fallout from a housing and credit market meltdown that has sent shock waves through Wall Street and around the globe.

Congressional leaders said they expected to get the plan Friday and act on it before Congress recesses for the election.

McCain: Obama Will Lead U.S. to Another ‘Great Depression’

Friday, September 19, 2008 1:54 PM

By: Rick Pedraza Article Font Size

Speaking to a throng of supporters Thursday night in Green Bay, Wis., Republican presidential candidate John McCain lashed out at Democratic rival Barack Obama, saying Obama’s economic policies would lead to economic ills in the United States not seen since the Great Depression of the late 1920s and early ‘30s.



“A vote for me will guarantee that the forces that have brought down our economy will be out of business,” McCain told the crowd. “I will end the corrupt practices on Wall Street and backroom deals in Washington DC. I will hold accountable those responsible for the oversight and protection of consumers, taxpayers and homeowners” he said, adding that “a vote for Sen. Obama will leave this country at risk during one of the most severe challenges to America’s economy since the Great Depression, and that’s straight talk, my friends.”

[Editor's Note: Read “Excerpts From McCain's Speech on the Economy” — Go Here Now].

McCain added: “And that’s how we see this election, country first or Obama first,” he said to repeated chants of “Country First, Country First” from the crowd.

Late Night with Conan O'Brien

Due to the current crisis on Wall Street, President Bush announced just a few hours ago that he’s canceled a trip to Alabama. Bush said, “Under the circumstances, I didn’t think it was right to leave the country.”

This Sunday, the entire hour of “60 Minutes” will be devoted to Barack Obama and John McCain. Apparently, Barack Obama will be interviewed, and John McCain will fill in for Andy Rooney.

Earlier this week in Colorado, Barack Obama gave a speech in the middle of a rodeo ring. Obama began his speech at the rodeo by saying, “Hello — I am what is known as a black guy.”

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

The Dow’s going bananas . . . it’s going up one day, down the next — it’s like Sarah Palin’s hair.

Computer hackers broke into Sarah Palin’s e-mail. They posted her mail on the Internet. It’s disgraceful. I urge everyone not to read Gov. Palin’s emails — especially any drooling, adolescent love-letters from someone known as Craig from CBS.com.

Tough blow for Barack Obama. Yesterday, a key Democratic fundraiser switched sides. She said Obama was too elitist. She is none other than Lady Lynn Forest de Rothschild. She’s worth a gazillion dollars. That’s it Obama — you’ve lost the people’s vote.

She’s a lawyer as well. Is it wise to be hanging around Republicans after what Cheney did to his lawyer?

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Finally some good news this week: The chairman of the Fed called for a do-over. We’re just going to start the week over.

The government had to bail out two huge companies, and today they strongly hinted that they’d bail out others . . . at taxpayers’ expense of course. It’s all part of a new approach that leaders in the White House and Congress are taking — it’s called socialism.

The president briefly came out of hiding today to say that he shares the public’s concerns.

A hacker hacked into Sarah Palin’s e-mail by breaking her password, which turned out to be Bible, hockey, lipstick, gun.

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

The stock market was up 400 points today, or as the Democrats call it — terrible news.

Barack Obama said again today that he wants to raise taxes on the rich — that’s provided by November anyone is still rich.

That seems to be the theme: In a speech today, Joe Biden said that paying higher taxes is patriotic. The Republican strategy on Joe Biden? Let him keep talking.

The Democratic-controlled Congress said they are going to adjourn for the rest of the year. They said regarding the financial crisis, no one knows what to do. Well, that’s a ringing endorsement to re-elect them — “You’re on your own! We’re leaving.”

Obama, McCain to attend economic bailout talks
Email this Story

Sep 25, 6:00 AM (ET)

By LIZ SIDOTI


WASHINGTON (AP) - John McCain and Barack Obama say presidential politics should have no role in the government's efforts to save the crippled financial system. Yet, each is playing his own politics toward the same goals - showing leadership during crisis, getting credit for any solutions, and, ultimately, winning the presidency.

The latest example: a debate over whether the candidates should debate Friday.

McCain called for his Democratic rival to agree to a postponement until Congress agrees on a $700 billion government plan to rescue banks from enormous debt, saying, "We are running out of time."

Obama rebuffed his GOP rival, saying the next president needs to "deal with more than one thing at once."

I don't get it..I am on disabilty (likely let's pray non-permanent)...Divorced & just today put $300, into my usual mo. savings...give about 20%/my regular to charity..& in a bad market met all my monthly stock goals..as a matter of fact to cover the covered already all of 08'whole yr.So for rest of Sept..then Oct, Nov.& Dec..am studying stocks..... that if I buy 1000 shares I can come out w/ a 2-5K profit.

Bailout deal breaks down; Bernanke back to Capitol

WASHINGTON (AP) - Urgent efforts to lash together a $700 billion rescue plan for the national economy broke apart Thursday night, hours after key lawmakers had declared they had reached a deal.



Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke sped to Capitol Hill to try to revive or rework the proposal that the administration says must be quickly approved by Congress to stave off economic disaster.

Congressional leaders were to meet with the economic chiefs into the night.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday a plan to rescue U.S. financial institutions "has to happen," but final agreement is up to conservative Republicans who revolted against the plan being negotiated between Congress and the Treasury Department.

But she added that a deal would be up to House Republicans who balked at the $700 billion package being negotiated by congressional leaders and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and who have given no sign that they will support it.

Abortions among minors drop when parents involved in decision
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 9/25/2008 10:25:00 AMBookmark and Share

The Family Research Council has released a new study on successful abortion reduction legislation. According to the study, those pieces of legislation involve parents in the decision process.



The study, conducted by Dr. Michael New of the University of Alabama, deals with parental consent or notification abortion laws. "Pro-life parental involvement laws are effective at reducing the number of minors that get abortions," he emphasizes.


"Secondly, the stronger laws have even greater effect," New continues. "...[T]hose parental involvement laws that require parental consent instead of just notification...reduce abortion rates even more. And those laws that require the involvement of two parents get abortion numbers down even further."

John McCain wants to postpone Friday’s presidential debate. And, he has temporarily suspended his campaign . . . until he’s ahead in the polls.

Right after he announced that, Sarah Palin said, “That’s OK — I don’t really need him, anyway.”

Today, Barack Obama told Joe Biden to be less like Sarah Palin: “Stop talking to the press!”

Liberal Media’s Debate Spin: No Winner, So Obama Won

By Rich Noyes (Bio | Archive)
September 27, 2008 - 12:22 ET
Watching Saturday’s network morning shows, the talking heads seemed to agree that Friday night’s debate did not produce “a clear winner” or any “knockout punch,” and that it was unlikely that any “needle was moved” among undecided voters. Yet those same networks tried to also argue that Obama had really won the debate, superficially suggesting that McCain’s “disdainful” body language poorly contrasted with the “warm” and “deferential” Obama.

On style, “Barack Obama did a much better job,” ABC contributor Matthew Dowd asserted. NBC’s Chuck Todd insisted that “McCain barely could look at Obama, was disdainful at times, almost annoyed that he was having to share the same stage....Here was Obama being deferential, and here is McCain being disdainful.”
Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Friday night on CNN, a snap poll of 524 adults who watched the debate suggested more thought Obama had won, by a 51% to 38% margin. But CNN correspondent John King cautioned that the poll was heavy with Democratic viewers: “Looking at our poll...the audience watching has a higher percentage of Democrats than the country as a whole.”

The group in question, Progressives for Obama, also includes among its ranks many former members of the 1960s radical organization Students for a Democratic Society, from which the Weathermen splintered, as well as current and former members of other radical organizations, such as the Communist Party USA and the Black Radical Congress.

Controversial pastor shuts down his church
Associated Press - 9/28/2008 3:00:00 AMBookmark and Share

TULSA, Okla. - A once prominent leader in the charismatic movement has been forced to shut down his church in the wake of a radical change in his theological beliefs.

Eight years ago, Bishop Carlton Pearson's Higher Dimensions Church had about 6,000 members. He served as a guest host on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, was a member of the Oral Roberts University board of trustees, and was among group of black religious leaders who advised President-elect George W. Bush after the 2000 election.
But Pearson then began preaching that everyone goes to heaven, a theology he calls "the gospel of inclusion."[THE SAME ERROR THAT BARRY MAKES, IE HIS GRANDMOTHER WAS A "NICE" WOMAN...SO IN ERROR HE SAYS GRANNY MUST BE IN HEAVEN!] Not long after, evangelical leaders rejected Pearson, the membership in his church fell to a few hundred, and the church's property was lost in foreclosure.
Its few remaining members have now been merged into a Unitarian congregation.

A website has been launched that will help Christians become responsible investors.



MoralMoney.com was developed to teach investment stewardship to Christians because, according to company President Mark Minnella, Jr., too many Christians support companies that contribute to the advancement of anti-Christian lifestyles.

"I like to tell people, you wouldn't want your church buying an abortion clinic to make money to give to the poor. The idea is appalling," he argues. "But the church is the people, not the building. And using the money that God's entrusted to you to buy a company that supports abortion or pornography just to make a profit, even for the best intentions -- whether it's for retirement or just to support your family -- is right along the same lines," says Minnella.

Congress Set to Pass Financial Rescue Package

WASHINGTON -- Key lawmakers who struck a post-midnight deal on a $700 billion bailout for the financial industry predicted Sunday it would pass Congress, putting in place the largest government intervention in markets since the Great Depression.



Negotiators sought to iron out the final shape of the legislation and it still had to be reviewed by House Republicans, whose fierce opposition to a federal rescue nearly torpedoed an emerging bipartisan pact late in the week.

But officials in both parties were hopeful for a House vote Monday, and the two presidential candidates said they probably would support it.

Why the Bailout Bill Failed

So how could a major bill described by the president and both parties' leaders as critical to the well-being of the nation's -- and the world's -- economy go down to defeat?



There are no easy answers here, as the House's stunning defeat moments ago of the financial bailout legislation is putting us into seemingly uncharted territory. But while the final tally, with 133 Republicans and 95 Democrats voting no, was a surprise -- all morning, Hill sources were predicting narrow passage -- the signs were there that the measure was in trouble:

1) Poor Salesmanship. Did you know that the general consensus is now that this bill will not cost $700 billion? If you didn't, it's because the bill's proponents did a poor marketing job. From the start, the Bush administration did not do enough to emphasize the point that taxpayers would get at least some of the money back, and that gigantic price tag got stuck in the head of the public (and the media).

House Republicans Blame Pelosi’s Speech

Patrick Yoest reports from Washington on Congress.

House Republicans blamed the failure of the $700 billion Wall Street rescue plan Monday on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), saying that Pelosi had been too partisan in a floor speech prior to the vote. (See the speech here, via CSPAN.)

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) said that Pelosi’s speech “poisoned” the Republican caucus and “caused a number of members we thought we could get to go south.”



“I do believe that we could have gotten there today, had it not been for the partisan speech that the Speaker gave on the floor of the House,” Boehner said. “We put everything we had into getting the vote to get there today.” Boehner added, however, that lawmakers have “no choice” but to work together and would have to find “a middle ground to bring enough votes to avert a crisis.”

The Wall Street crisis and the Bush administration’s push for a $700 billion bailout plan have raised the question of who might serve as treasury secretary in the next administration.

And that speculation, in turn, has increased conjecture about candidates for all Cabinet posts, as well as other key positions, depending on whether Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. John McCain is elected.

Following are some top prospects if Obama is elected:

http://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/obama_cabinet_secretary/2008/09/29/135736.html

Some interesting choices: Tom Dashle as chief of staff, mention is made of Harold Ford/if Bama looses he might become our 1st AA president & would be fairly good)..he should be in but in a higher placed job;Bill Richardson @ State; Sam Nunn defense,Homeland security: Ray Nagin,HUD-Corey Booker, young Newark AA Mayor fighting crime & rebuilding a mess left by the last criminal mayor; Carolyn Kennedy-Education; Max Cleland-Vets Affairs;Health & Human Svs/anti drinking & drugging campaigners....: Patrick Kennedy ......& keep Michelle out of all meetings, she shouldn't be in there like Jimmy's wife was...

& finally just as W gave Cheney lot's of power....Obama & McCain should do likewise...esp. as Palin could win 2 terms as Prez....

PS- *A McCain cabinet might include Joe Lieberman as chief of staff, He may for awhile keep Gates & the great Gen. Patreus around;Rudy as Homeland Security or Tom Ridge; HUD-former Maryland Lt. Gv., Kay Richardson as UN Ambassador, keep Condi for awhile;Gov. Barber ,Treasury or Mike Bloomberg my old Covenant House volunteer billionaire Bill Simon, Jr. or Steve Forbes; Attorney General Ted Olsen or Fred Thompson;I'd put Jindell in there somewhere but he needs more exec experience; Veterans Affairs-Mitt Romney he knows how to rebuild & our vets hospitals, benefits, etc..have not been a priority;UN- bring back Bolten; Commerce: If Fobes not put in treasury;Labor: Jeb Bush/& if approved promote in 2nd term; Education-Lamar Alexander/Bill Bennet;..he must have Palin in every meeting!

Illegal immigrants a factor in mortgage crisis, activist claims

An immigration reform activist says there's absolutely no reason that American taxpayers should bail out illegal immigrants who should not have been in country in the first place , but were among those given risky loans that have created the mortgage crisis.


Not only draining a bad economy; but Pelosi wants free tuition for illegals & Barry only wants a VIRTUAL FENCE..ok Messiah how about a virtual fence around the White House if you get there..or around the Obama/Rezko Ill. home.

In a recent column, Michelle Malkin points out that some of the hardest hit areas by the foreclosure wave -- including Phoenix, Las Vegas, and large swaths of California -- also happen to be some of the nation's largest sanctuary areas. She argues that lending institutions like Bank of America have gone out of their way to woo homebuyers who are in the country illegally.

Malkin also notes the mortgage fraud problem has been exacerbated by banks allowing illegal aliens to use Matricula Consular and taxpayer identification cards to open accounts. Rick Oltman, a spokesman for Californians for Population Stabilization, says taxpayers should not be forced to bail out individuals who are illegal aliens.

Police say Rodriguez was trolling for a victim at the Orem Fitness Center when he came across the teen. He befriended him and discussed the possibility that Rodriguez could give the boy a construction job. According to police, Rodriguez convinced the victim to come to his house and spend the night then the two would go to the construction site together. That night Rodriguez asked for sex, was turned down, then offered to pay for it, again he was rebuked, then according to police he made a disturbing threat. "That's when Mr. Rodriguez points out several fire arms (in his home) and says 'if you don't cooperate then I will kill you and I will also kill your family ,'" says Capt. Cliff Argyle of the Provo police department.

Bailout Authorizes Feds to Buy Deadbeat Mortgages, Reduce Interest and Principal at Taxpayers' Expense
Friday, October 03, 2008
By Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief

(CNSNews.com) - The $700 billion bailout bill passed by Congress today includes provisions that authorize the Treasury Department and other federal agencies to buy deadbeat mortgages and lower their interest rates and principal at taxpayers' expense.

Section 109 of the bill is entitled “Foreclosure Mitigation Efforts.” It orders the secretary of the Treasury to “implement a plan that seeks to maximize assistance for homeowner.” It lists as means the secretary can use for doing this: “term extensions, rate reductions, principal write downs, increases in the proportion of loans within a trust or other structure allowed to be modified, or removal of other limitation on modifications.”

Section 110 of the bill is entitled “Assistance to Homeowners.” It orders other federal agencies to ease the terms of mortgages the federal government purchases if the borrower is at risk of foreclosure.

Congress OKs historic bailout bill
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS and DAVID ESPO, Associated Press Writers - 10/3/2008 12:45:00 PM
With the economy on the brink and elections looming, Congress approved an unprecedented $700 billion government bailout of the battered financial industry on Friday and sent it to President Bush for his certain signature.




The final vote, 263-171 in the House, capped two weeks of tumult in Congress and on Wall Street, punctuated by daily warnings that the country confronted the gravest economic crisis since the Great Depression if lawmakers failed to act.



Bush was poised to make a statement on the historic vote.

Spread of gangs tied to border-control
Transnational groups found to be mobile and adaptable
Jerry Seper (Contact)
Friday, October 3, 2008

A "dangerous side effect" of America's failure to control the Southwest border and the nation's tolerance for high levels of illegal immigration has resulted in the spread of violent transnational gangs across the United States, including Maryland, Virginia and Washington, a report says.



A report written for the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) says the gangs represent a "significant menace to the public," with about 80 percent of the members involved in serious crimes in addition to immigration violations and another 40 percent having committed violent crimes.

"The recent emergence and spread of several Hispanic street gangs, most notably MS-13 and 18th Street, has attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies and political leaders nationwide," said Jessica M. Vaughan, an author of the report, which was made public Tuesday. "Many gangs are made up of small-time troublemakers, but others have a reputation for grisly violence.

Of course.

10/13/2008, Volume 014, Issue 05

The odds are against John McCain and Sarah Palin winning this election. It's not easy to make up a 6-point deficit in the last four weeks. But it can be done.



Look at history. The Gore-Lieberman ticket gained about 6 points in the final two weeks of the 2000 campaign. Ford-Dole came back more than 20 points in less than two months in the fall of 1976. Both tickets were from the party holding the White House, and both were running against inexperienced, and arguably risky, opponents.

What's more, this year's race has already--twice--moved by more than 6 points over a span of only a few weeks. The race went from McCain up 2 (these are the Real Clear Politics averages) on September 14 to Obama plus 6 on October 2, less than three weeks later. In the four weeks before that, the race had moved from Obama plus 5 on August 12 to McCain plus 2 on September 12.

Vatican official attacks U.S. Democrats as “party of death”



Vatican officials seldom single out political leaders who differ with the Church on issues like abortion rights or embryonic stem cell research. But now that the Vatican’s highest court is led by an American, the former St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke, we can expect things to get more explicit in Vatican City — at least when when it comes to U.S. politics.

Burke, who was named prefect of the Vatican’s Supreme Court of the Apostolic Signature in June, told the Italian Catholic newspaper Avvenire that the U.S. Democratic Party risked “transforming itself definitively into a party of death for its decisions on bioethical issues.” He then attacked two of the party’s most high profile Catholics — vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — for misrepresenting Church teaching on abortion.

He said Biden and Pelosi, “while presenting themselves as good Catholics, have presented Church doctrine on abortion in a false and tendentious way.”

Sarah is Solid
by Steven D. Laib
| View comments | Print This Post Print This Post
Three to four weeks were wasted during which Sarah Palin could have connected with the conservative voting base and boosted the McCain campaign. Now, it appears that McCain will finally turn her loose and “let Sarah be Sarah.”

Early returns mentioned by Hugh Hewitt in his post debate coverage last night indicated that many members of, even the mainstream media, have given the vice presidential debate to Sarah Palin. I tend to agree, but perhaps I was a victim of my own expectations with the result that I didn’t see her turning in an “all-pro” performance. Still, I think she did exactly what she needed to do, and that was enough. She showed that she knew what she was doing and could hold her own against that consummate politician, Joe Biden, who will say anything to get what he wants. He hangs out at the Home Depot? Puleeze; you expect me to take that seriously? Or, were you speaking to the lowest common denominator in American intelligence?

When I suggested that in the absence of Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin was the best choice for VP, I expected that the McCain Campaign was thinking on all cylinders. I was wrong. After a good introduction and an excellent convention speech the Alaska governor has been buried in attempts to court such media figures as Katie Couric. McCain may have been responsible for this, as he has never been enamored of the greatest weapon he possesses; talk radio. Thus, three to four weeks were wasted during which Sarah Palin could have connected with the conservative voting base and other audience members, and boosted his campaign. Now, after her appearances with Hugh Hewitt and Sean Hannity, it appears that McCain will finally turn her loose and “let Sarah be Sarah.”

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

The Senate passed the bailout bill last night. They say one of the reasons the new bill was passed was because lawmakers stopped calling the bill a bailout and started calling it a “rescue” bill. I’m sorry — isn’t that called putting lipstick on a pig?

[img]http://idexer.com/straw/data/emoticons/rofl.gif/img]
With the new provisions, it’s now going to cost $800 billion. We should have signed it two days ago when it was just $700 billion.

According to a recent poll, 61 percent of people surveyed said they’d rather see Sarah Palin in a bikini than Pamela Andersen. Although 99 percent said they’d rather see Pamela Anderson as vice president.

Late Show with David Letterman

The economy is so bad, today Dick Cheney was waterboarding his stockbroker.

The Senate passed the bailout bill after loading it with pork. It just doesn’t seem right to me to pass a bill like that on Rosh Hashana.

Last night, in the interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin said she can’t name a Supreme Court ruling she disagrees with. The best she could come up with was the time Judge Judy ruled against the landlord.

Late Night with Conan O'Brien

Political experts say that to succeed in tonight’s debate, Sarah Palin needs to show that she has the same concerns as everyday Americans. For instance, Palin planned to start the debate by saying she’s really troubled by John McCain’s choice for vice president.

Now, there is a lot on the line in tonight’s debate. Political experts say that one mistake by Sarah Palin tonight could be crushing to John McCain’s campaign. However, they say 20 or 30 mistakes by Palin could be really funny.

People are still talking about Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric where Palin was unable to answer a question about the Supreme Court. Apparently Palin thought the Supreme Court was a regular court with extra cheese.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson


The debate tonight is very important for Sarah Palin. Ratings are probably huge cause she’s like a celebrity; everyone wants to see what Sarah Palin does. Nobody watched the debate to see Joe Biden. Come on — that's like watching porno to see the guy.

Barack Obama is a bit of celebrity as well. People say that’s why he breaks the fundraising records. But John McCain breaks records, too. Usually the vinyl records that he forces into his CD player.

Election infection is spreading across Hollywood, like pilates and Kabbalah and everything. There is a new public service announcement — a bunch of celebrities are urging people to vote. I can’t show you it; it’s like five hours long.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The vice presidential debate was tonight. It’s not too late, by the way, to text in your votes. I voted four times for Palin and six times for David Archuleta.

Before the debate, Joe Biden’s team said his strategy would be to avoid attacking Sarah Palin directly, and instead focus on linking McCain to President Bush. Palin’s people said her strategy would be to stay upwind of Biden, and flush him out into an open area and go for a clean shot through the lungs.

They don’t want to mess with the head; that’s the trophy.

Obama doesn't weed out illegal cash, GOP says

quote:

Obama’s ‘Good Will’ Hunting
By Michael Isikoff | NEWSWEEK

The Obama campaign has shattered all fund-raising records, raking in $458 million so far, with about half the bounty coming from donors who contribute $200 or less. Aides say that's an illustration of a truly democratic campaign. To critics, though, it can be an invitation for fraud and illegal foreign cash because donors giving individual sums of $200 or less don't have to be publicly reported. Consider the cases of Obama donors "Doodad Pro" of Nunda, N.Y., who gave $17,130, and "Good Will" of Austin, Texas, who gave more than $11,000—both in excess of the $2,300-per-person federal limit. In two recent letters to the Obama campaign, Federal Election Commission auditors flagged those (and other) donors and informed the campaign that the sums had to be returned. Neither name had ever been publicly reported because both individuals made online donations in $10 and $25 increments. "Good Will" listed his employer as "Loving" and his occupation as "You," while supplying as his address 1015 Norwood Park Boulevard, which is shared by the Austin nonprofit Goodwill Industries. Suzanha Burmeister, marketing director for Goodwill, said the group had "no clue" who the donor was. She added, however, that the group had received five puzzling thank-you letters from the Obama campaign this year, prompting it to send the campaign an e-mail in September pointing out the apparent fraudulent use of its name.

"Doodad Pro" listed no occupation or employer; the contributor's listed address is shared by Lloyd and Lynn's Liquor Store in Nunda. "I have never heard of such an individual," says Diane Beardsley, who works at the store and is the mother of one of the owners. "Nobody at this store has that much money to contribute." (She added that a Doodad's Boutique, located next door, had closed a year ago, before the donations were made.)

Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said the campaign has no idea who the individuals are and has returned all the donations, using the credit-card numbers they gave to the campaign. (In a similar case earlier this year, the campaign returned $33,000 to two Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip who had bought T shirts in bulk from the campaign's online store. They had listed their address as "Ga.," which the campaign took to mean Georgia rather than Gaza.) "While no organization is completely protected from Internet fraud, we will continue to review our fund-raising procedures," LaBolt said. Some critics say the campaign hasn't done enough. This summer, watchdog groups asked both campaigns to share more information about its small donors. The McCain campaign agreed; the Obama campaign did not. "They could've done themselves a service" by heeding the suggestions, said Massie Ritsch of the Center for Responsive Politics.

Gwen Ifill's VP Debate Bias
By Lee Cary
A careful reading of the questions Gwen Ifill asked during the VP debate reveals several that displayed her bias.

The revelation that PBS's Gwen Ifill plans to release a book on Barack Obama on Inauguration Day raised the suspicion that her moderator role at the VP debate might be other than objective. It was. The evidence of her bias is evident in several of her questions to the candidates. Below are a few examples.

The Forced-Choice Question

The forced-choice question aims to force an answer from a choice of options defined by the interviewer. For example, in the early stages of the Afghanistan War, the late Peter Jennings asked Pervez Musharraf, then President of Pakistan, if the United States in Afghanistan was "bombing too much or too little."

A group of 5- to 12-year-old children in Venice, California, is writing and singing songs promoting Barack Obama's presidential campaign and his familiar messages of "hope" and "change." Some critics say the adults behind the "Sing for Change" choir are indoctrinating the young children involved.

Donning blue T-shirts bearing the phrase "Imagine Hope," the group of 22 children recently recorded songs that repeat Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" slogan and declare, in a religious tone, that the Democratic presidential nominee is going to "change the world" and "spread happiness and freedom." A video of the presentation is posted on YouTube and was produced by several Hollywood film industry professionals.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The mother of a missing 3-year-old girl was accused yesterday in an indictment of killing her daughter, prosecutors said, even though the child's body has not been found during an exhaustive four-month search.

A grand jury returned charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators against 22-year-old Casey Anthony in the death of her daughter, Caylee, State Attorney Lawson Lamar said. She is being held without bond.

Social Security benefits expected to jump in 2009

Social Security benefits for 50 million people are expected to go up next year by the largest amount in more than a quarter-century.

The new cost-of-living increase, to be announced Thursday by the Social Security Administration, is expected to be above 5.5 percent. That would make it the largest increase since a 7.4 percent jump in 1982. The increase for 2008 was 2.3 percent.

A 5.5 percent increase would mean about $60 a month more for the average retiree. Even with the gain, the fatter Social Security check still may seem puny to millions of retirees battered this year by huge increases in energy and food costs. They've also watched helplessly as their retirement savings have been assaulted by the biggest upheavals on Wall Street in seven decades.

The Shrinking Episcopal Church
By George Will



WASHINGTON -- The Rev. Robert Duncan, 60, is not a Lutheran, but he is a Luther, of sorts. The former Episcopal bishop of Pittsburgh has, in effect, said the words with which Martin Luther shattered Christendom and asserted the primacy of individual judgment and conscience that defines the modern temperament: "Ich kann nicht anders" -- I cannot do otherwise.

The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh recently became the second diocese (the first was in Fresno, Calif.) to secede from the U.S. Episcopal Church since, but not entirely because of, the 2003 ordination in New Hampshire of an openly gay bishop -- Gene Robinson, a classmate of Duncan's at General Theological Seminary in New York in the 1970s. Before the Robinson controversy, other Episcopalians, from South Carolina to Southern California, had disassociated from the Episcopal Church and put themselves under the authority of conservative Anglican bishops who serve where the church is flourishing -- often in sub-Saharan Africa, where a majority of Anglicans live.

It is not the secessionists such as Duncan who are, as critics charge, obsessed with homosexuality. The Episcopal Church's leadership is latitudinarian -- tolerant to the point of incoherence, Duncan and kindred spirits think -- about clergy who deviate from traditional church teachings concerning such core doctrines as the divinity of Christ, the authority of scripture and the path to salvation. But the national church insists on the ordination of openly gay clergy and on blessing same-sex unions.

Is Obama a socialist?

By Henry Lamb Sunday, October 19, 2008 Socialism, according to Karl Marx, is the transition between capitalism and communism. To achieve communism, Marx says, there must be continuing revolution in which the fundamental principal is: the end justifies the means. For more than half a century, capitalism in the United States has taken a beating from the socialist revolution. Despite the best efforts of conservatives, since the Roosevelt era, socialists have made great strides toward converting the nation to socialism. Apparently, the majority of Americans either fail to recognize the transition, or welcome it. The enthusiastic support for Barack Obama, especially among young people, is abundant evidence. Obama has declared that he believes every person has a “right” to health care. The Socialist Party USA believes every person has a “right” to health care.

And at one point during those attacks, says Jackson, he just gave up. "[I] just surrendered to the enemy and just started living the lifestyle -- and that was it," he laments. "It just started spiraling from there."

Glitches fill Ohio voter rolls
Eligibility questions could bring confusion, spur conflicts

In Hamilton County, 17 people are registered to vote from riverfront addresses south of Mehring Way - places with street numbers that would put their homes somewhere in the Ohio River.Another 46 voters are registered at addresses that would put their homes in the middle of the Paul Brown Stadium parking lot, or at the riverfront project known as The Banks - which hasn't been built.

An Enquirer analysis of more than 8 million Ohio voter registration records found a litany of quirks, inconsistencies, errors, duplicate registrations and other problems with little more than two weeks until Election Day.

Rays' World: Boston falls in Game 7 of ALCS
Defending champs ousted as Tampa reaches first-ever World Series

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Down to their last chance, the Tampa Bay Rays left no doubt they were World Series-worthy, after all.

Believe it: Baseball’s doormats have arrived.

Going from worst to first, the young Rays completed a stunning run to their first pennant, holding off the defending champion Boston Red Sox 3-1 Sunday night behind Matt Garza’s masterful pitching in Game 7 of the AL championship series.

Wall Street looking for signs the worst is over
Slew of earnings, economic news this week may help clear the picture

NEW YORK - With little question the U.S. is in the grips of a recession, investors this week will lean on a stream of earnings and economic reports to help determine exactly how prolonged and painful the downturn might be.

There’s certainly been fresh evidence the credit market has begun to thaw. But, that alone might not be enough to restore confidence in the stock market at a time when investors are clamoring for stronger signs of a bottom.

Trying to predict a floor for major U.S. stock market indexes has proven to be a difficult task. Wall Street ended a volatile two-week run fairly stable on Friday, and there were indications that bank-to-bank lending rates eased and that some companies returned to the bond market to raise cash.

Why This Election Will Be Close: Hushed Confessions
[Confessions to Fr. Morris..probaby going on in confessionals coast-to-coast.]

Zogby: McCain Is Gaining, Race Tightens
Being outspent in almost all states, having about 10 tv ads for 1 per McCain;Chris Matthews, the NY Slimes & other media constantly downing McCain/Palin (an excellent executive & commander-in-chief of Alaska's reserve military)--giving the dangerous senator probably billions in free plugs & aircover when he messes up;[and don't ever forget "MY FRIENDS"/pun intended]McCain had a MIRACLE bounceback from the days he was flying coach & dragging his luggage through airports--totally written off.

There's also a possibilty for knives to come out like Jackson & Murtha's unhelpful statements; Rev. Wright & his elders could drop a bomb; & I've always believed the Clintons had some sort of intelligence that Bill might release...this is not over.

Magnet device aims to treat depression patients
Magnetic pulses beamed through skull may help trigger brain’s mood areas

WASHINGTON - The government has approved the first noninvasive brain stimulator to treat depression — a device that beams magnetic pulses through the skull.

If it sounds like science-fiction, well, those woodpecker-like pulses trigger small electrical charges that spark brain cells to fire. Yet it doesn't cause the risks of surgically implanted electrodes or the treatment of last resort, shock therapy.

Called transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS, this gentler approach isn't for everyone. The Food and Drug Administration approved Neuronetics Inc.'s NeuroStar therapy specifically for patients who had no relief from their first antidepressant, offering them a different option than trying pill after pill.

Twice a week I go to this fantastic accupuncturist in Brooklyn for gout and other things/accupuncture has been given favorable reviews by science & covered by many insurance companies(remember Nixon during his China trip was amazed to observe a brain operation while pt. remained wake..pain,etc. controlled by accupuncture needles)............ she also uses magnets on spots (small magnet with round band aid like material on my knees before I depart/stays on for days)...often I feel they may help...but know that THE GREAT PHYSICIAN is MY healer.

Many injured athletes subscribe to these treatments..I also bought 2 magnetic knee braces that I wear if I have pain.

Occassionally while in Manhattan I see the 1st accupuncturist I ever used & she too uses magnets if you choose.

BTW my pcp & arthritis specialist have no problems w/ accupuncture....

Obama wins, first black to gain presidency

WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama was elected the nation's first black president Tuesday night in a historic triumph that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself.

The 47-year-old Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his victory by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hardfought battleground states - Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Iowa.

A huge crowd thronged Grant Park in Chicago to cheer his improbable triumph and await his first public speech as president-elect.

As a person of color I am happy that a glass ceiling has been shattered; & that Revs. Picket Sign & Bull Horn & Farrakan can go into the sunset w/ their cries of a racist America.

Right up until I returned home for the night a young black youth having seen my hat & button engaged in a meaningful dialogue, which I will tell @ some point this week..but have another busy wed. in Manhattan..the kids that recently asked me questions have been so respectful.I left that kid w/ some hope & as he works in a nearby store..I'll bring him some info on college,JOB CORPS where those a federal training program where those 24 and under, go to camp to learn plumbing, computers,beauticians, electricians...for details : ~~~FED> TRAINING PROGRAM FOR 24 & UNDER: Highly recommended by former youth specialist BB1~~~,if they need to finish a GED...or have a drug or alcohol problem.

To see my career w/ tough NY & US kids, drug addicts & those w/out hope SEE MY MINI BIO on post # 1....but, believe it or not Obama encouraged me to get involved..& I'll report how so in future posts & as I decide in what areas I may go lend a hand. I hope that you'll find time too to build up your community..& give a few hours to help.
