Ahmadinejad's Confused
2008-06-04 23:59:00
Iran expects a "different approach" from the next US president, whoever wins the November elections, President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad said in an interview published in Italy Wednesday."Whoever wins the elections, I'm sure that the United States will change, it will have a different approach," the Iranian leader told the Italian daily La Repubblica."The United States will have a reduced sphere of influence in the world," he predicted, adding: "The new president will have to respond to the real demands of the American people: 40 million American citizens do not have health insurance, the victims of the New Orleans hurricane still have no homes."Even if it's Obama, the tactics might change, but the goal remains the same:"There's no greater threat to Israel or to the peace and stability of the region than Iran," he told the powerful pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Council (AIPAC)."The danger from Iran is grave and real and my goal will be to eliminate this threat," ...

Freedom Of Speech....For Democrats
2008-06-04 23:51:00
I'm a bit confused. How come a fictional movie about the assassination of George W. Bush gets made and published onto DVD, but when someone does an art exhibit about the assassinations of Obama and Clinton, it's shut down?This morning, a Boston-born performance artist, Yazmany Arboleda, tried to set up a provocative art exhibition in a vacant storefront on West 40th Street in Midtown Manhattan with the title, "The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama," in neatly stenciled letters on the plate glass windows at street level.By 9:30 a.m., New York City police detectives and Secret Service agents had shut down the exhibition, and building workers had quickly covered over the inflammatory title with large sheets of brown paper and blue masking tape. The gallery is across the street from the southern entrance to The New York Times building.The police officers declined to answer any questions, and at first would not permit reporters to speak with Mr. Arboled...

Nancy Pelosi Is So Brave!
2008-06-04 23:47:00
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that the Democratic presidential race is over, and it's time to rally around the party's nominee."Running for President is not for the faint of heart. This is very difficult, and people have to unwind from it in their own time, but I think the message was clear last night. The people have spoken, the elections are over for the nomination. Barack Obama is the nominee of the Democratic party," Pelosi said.The California congresswoman, who remained neutral throughout the primary season, said Senator Hillary Clinton should be able to take some time before formally conceding - but stressed the party's need to shift its focus to the general election.Asked about a Friday deadline she and other party leaders set for uncommitted superdelegates, Pelosi said it's time for those undeclared party officials to get behind Obama: "Now it's time to rally around that person and attribute to him all that goes with being - carrying the banner of the Democr...

It's Obama
2008-06-04 07:37:00
Well, it seemed like a mathematical certainty, but Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee.In what he called a "defining moment for our nation," Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday became the first African-American to head the ticket of a major political party.Obama's steady stream of superdelegate endorsements, combined with the delegates he received from Tuesday's primaries, put him past the 2,118 threshold, CNN projects."Tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another -- a journey that will bring a new and better day to America," he said."Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States."Obama's rally was at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota -- the same arena which will house the 2008 Republican National Convention in September.Even though Obama got the needed delegates to win, the denial in the Hillary camp is in full swing:Speaking in New York, Sen. Hillary Clinton, congratulate...

Obama Has Won
2008-06-04 00:34:00
I'm still waiting for confirmation about this, but Fox News is reporting that Barack Obama has exceeded the amount of delegates he needs to clinch the Democratic nomination:Barack Obama has reportedly clinched the Democratic nomination, but South Dakota and Montana voters will technically have the last word in this hard-fought, historic primary race.Voting in the two states wraps up the marathon primary season. Montana rounds out the race when polls close at 10 p.m. ET, exactly five months after Obama wowed the political establishment with his lead-off Iowa caucus victory. South Dakota polls close an hour earlier.Obama aides expect to do well in both states, and recent polls have favored the Illinois senator in Montana - but since the states together are only worth 31 delegates, far more attention was paid Tuesday to the avalanche of superdelegates that supposedly steadily fell into Obama's camp throughout the day.The Associated Press declared late Tuesday afternoon that based on ...

What The Hell Is Wrong With Obama And His Pastors?
2008-05-31 00:37:00
Sen. Barack Obama said he was "deeply disappointed" by a sermon at his church this week that mocked Sen. Hillary Clinton.A video making the rounds on YouTube shows the Rev. Michael Pfleger mocking Clinton for becoming teary-eyed before the New Hampshire primary in January.In the video, Pfleger wipes his eyes with a handkerchief and suggests Clinton wept because she thought that as a white person and the wife of a former president, she was entitled to the presidency."And then, out of nowhere, came 'Hey, I'm Barack Obama,' " Pfleger said during a sermon Sunday at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. "And [Clinton] said, 'Oh damn, where did you come from? I'm white! I'm entitled! There's a black man stealing my show!' "Obama has known Pfleger for more than 20 years.Ok, this is the SECOND hate speech filled pastor that Obama's had in his life in the past few months that has come to light.But wait! There's more!Typical of Mr. Obama's earmarks was a $100,000 gr...

Olbermann's A Hypocrite

I think this might be an early birthday gift to me. But here's a fun little bit about Keith Olbermann not paying taxes on his new condo. Normally, that wouldn't be a big deal, but he also defended Al Franken for the exact same thing.New York State has issued a tax warrant against Keith Olbermann for failure to pay taxes on his humbly named personal corporation, Olbermann Broadcasting Empire, Inc. Olbermann is listed in legal records as the President of Olbermann Broadcasting Empire, Inc.A call to the Albany County Clerk's Office in upstate New York confirmed that the warrant is still outstanding and that Olbermann has still failed to pay his back taxes. State records show that Olbermann's company failed to pay $2,269.50 in state taxes. A judgement was entered against Olbermann last summer (Docket Date: 8/21/2007), just weeks before Olbermann closed on a a luxurious $4.2 mm condo at Trump Palace, at 200 East 69th Street.Keith Olbermann joins fellow comedian Al Franken on the list...

Look Out! Here Comes Nancy!
2008-05-30 02:48:00
Hillary Clinton has hinted that she is prepared to take her fight to fully seat Florida and Michigan all the way to the party's convention in late August, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that's not going to happen.In an interview with her hometown newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, the California Democrat said she is prepared to "step in" if the presidential race does not resolve itself by the end of next month."I will step in," Pelosi told the paper. "Because we cannot take this fight to the convention?It must be over before then."Pelosi, who will serve as chair of the convention, has largely stayed on the sidelines during her party's prolonged primary race. But the House Speaker has said Democratic superdelegates should not overturn the pledged delegate winner, and has warned of irreparable harm if they do so. Barack Obama officially won the majority of pledged delegates in last Tuesday's primary contests, though it's been clear for several weeks Clinton could not ov...

Sharon Stone's A Coward
2008-05-30 02:26:00
Hollywood star Sharon Stone has apologised for suggesting China's earthquake was bad "karma" for its handling of Tibet, but Christian Dior on Thursday dropped her from its local ads amid a public uproar.The 50-year-old US actress offered to help with relief efforts after the May 12 quake that killed nearly 70,000 people, in an effort to smooth over tensions sparked by her controversial comments at the Cannes Film Festival last week."My erroneous words and deeds angered and saddened the Chinese people, and I sincerely apologise for this," she said in a statement issued by Dior China and sent to AFP on Thursday."I'm willing to participate in any earthquake relief activity and to do my utmost to help Chinese people affected by the disaster," she added.But Dior said Stone -- who promotes the French luxury brand's anti-ageing skin-care line, among other products -- would no longer appear in its ads in China."In light of the negative reaction that Sharon Stone's inappropriate remarks ...

China seeks earthquake aid from Japan
2008-05-30 02:21:00
China is turning to its former enemy Japan for help as it seeks to boost its relief operations after the deadly earthquake that has devastated the southwestern Sichuan province.China has begun talks with Tokyo about what would be the first significant military dispatch involving the two countries since World War II, The Associated Press reported Thursday."Given the magnitude of this disaster, if some countries or militaries are ready to provide us with material in urgent need, we will express our welcome," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang, AP reported.The Kyodo news agency said Japan plans to dispatch Self-Defense Forces aircraft to transport tents and other relief supplies to main airports, but the troops will not be allowed to go into the affected areas.The Beijing regime has welcomed aid from the international community as it seeks to help the 158,000 people evacuated from nearly 170 areas.Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't China's economy booming?

Bush?s laws will be scrutinized if I become president, Obama says
2008-05-30 02:17:00
Maybe it's his background teaching constitutional law.If elected president, Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama said one of the first things he wants to do is ensure the constitutionality of all the laws and executive orders passed while Republican President George W. Bush has been in office.Those that don't pass muster will be overturned, he said.During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama - a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School - was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office."I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution," said ObamaOther goals for his first 100 days: work out a plan to withdraw troops from Iraq; make progress on alternative energy plans and launch legislation to reform the health care system.Anyone else noticing a pattern here?

I Need To Join The CIA
2008-05-29 01:39:00
This is the kind of thing I like to hear from the CIA in it's hunt for Al-Qaeda and it's henchmen:The CIA has been using armed drones to attack alleged terrorists inside the tribal area, as U.S. military forces are barred from pursuing al-Qaida and Taliban fighters across the Afghan border.Hayden would not say what else the CIA is doing, if anything, to target terrorist enclaves there."It's hard for me to get into any details. I understand the situation there and I'm comfortable with the authorities we've been given," he said."There's an awful lot of senior leadership killed or captured including even in the last several months," he said.Despite al-Qaida's resilience, taking out bin Laden would be a psychological blow to the organization, Hayden said."If there ever was a sense of invulnerability I think killing or capturing him would shatter it once and for all," he said.Bin Laden is believed to be hiding in the lawless tribal areas of western Pakistan.

Finally A Political Attack From McCain That's On The Button
2008-05-29 01:13:00
John McCain on Wednesday repeated his challenge to Barack Obama to take a ride with him over to Iraq and see the situation on the ground before concluding that U.S. efforts have failed to get the war-torn nation back on track.Speaking in a town hall meeting in Reno, Nev., the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said he was surprised Obama's campaign considered it a political stunt when McCain proposed earlier this week that the two travel together to Iraq."The security of this nation is more important than any political campaign. To say that we failed in Iraq doesn't comport with the facts on the ground," McCain said to applause.He also borrowed a line from Hillary Clinton and took a swipe at Obama for his tenure at the helm of a Foreign Relations subcommittee, saying: "He has not held one single hearing on Afghanistan, where young Americans are in harm's way as we speak."McCain has hitched on to a talking point that is echoing through Republican chambers of late - that O...

Iran's new parliament speaker Ali Larijani warned Wednesday that Teheran could impose new limits on its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog after a critical report from the agency.Larijani, formerly the country's top nuclear negotiator, was overwhelmingly elected as parliament speaker Wednesday. Moments later, he told parliament that a new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency was "deplorable."The unusually strongly worded report issued Monday said Iran may be withholding information needed to establish whether it tried to make nuclear weapons."We recommend them not to clandestinely keep passing Iran's nuclear dossier between the IAEA and 5-plus-1 group. This parliament won't allow such deception," Larijani told an open session of parliament broadcast live on state-run radio.He was referring to IAEA reports and permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany. The council has imposed three sets of sanctions against Iran for its refusal to halt enriching ...

We're Bombing Mosques Now
2008-05-27 08:45:00
Iran made an official protest to the United States, via a Swiss intermediary, on Wednesday about what Tehran says is Washington's support for a group blamed for bombing an Iranian mosque, a news agency reported. The charge d'affaires of the Swiss embassy, which handles U.S. interests in Iran, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and handed "evidence and documents" supporting Iran's allegations, the students news agency ISNA said.Iran has said the United States, Britain and Israel were involved in the explosion in a mosque in the southern city of Shiraz in April that killed 14 people and wounded 200."Iran's strong protest was conveyed to (the charge d'affaires) about the free-ranging activities of a terrorist and anti-revolutionary group in America," ISNA said, quoting a senior Foreign Ministry official. It did not name the group."In this meeting, part of the evidence and documents related to the terrorist activities of this group was handed over to the Swiss charge d'affaires ...

Obama Backtracks
2008-05-27 08:36:00
Democrat Barack Obama underscored his willingness to talk to leaders of countries like Iran that are considered U.S. adversaries but said on Monday that does not necessarily mean an audience with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.Obama, the Democratic Party front-runner vying to face Republican Sen. John McCain in the November race for the White House, has said he was willing to meet with leaders of countries such as Iran, Syria, Cuba and Venezuela without preconditions.McCain has criticized that view, saying that sitting down with someone like Ahmadinejad would give the Iranian president a spotlight and send the wrong signal to U.S. allies such as Israel.Iran does not recognize Israel's existence and Ahmadinejad has called the country a "stinking corpse."Obama, an Illinois senator, said Iranian presidential elections in 2009 would be a factor in the timing of any meetings, as would considerations of who wields the power."There's no reason why we would necessarily meet with Ah...

Oh how I love to be proven right. I wish it were on something insignificant like when it was going to rain and such, but now I've been proven to be right about Iran 's nuclear program.Iran's alleged research into nuclear warheads remains a matter of serious concern and Tehran should provide more information on its missile-related activities, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Monday.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also said, in its latest report on Iran, that Tehran was holding back information on high-explosives testing relating to its nuclear program.This is according to the UN's nuclear group, the IAEA, NOT according to the US or any other intelligence agencies. So, those of you out there who keep saying that it's all being "made up about Iran", (Keith Olbermann, I'm looking at you), it simply IS NOT TRUE. Iran IS hiding something.Case in point:The IAEA said it asked Iran in April to provide access to locations related to the manufacture of uranium centrifuges, ...

Indiana Jones And The New Cold War

Keith Olbermann's Bias Against The Military Is Showing

Unfortunately, I don't have any control over the channel, so I just pop my ipod on and read the subtitles in case he says something stupid.While his condemnation of Hillary's "RFK assassination" comments were fairly accurate, I have noticed one thing; liberal politicians aren't on his "worst person in the world" commentary. He lambasts a General at Guantanamo Bay for basically saying that the inmates there aren't tortured and they basically live like they are in a frat house, and he's one of the "worst people in the world". Yet, Hillary gets much more of Keith 's time and she's not the "worst person in the world" or even in the top 3.What's worse is that I've now noticed (maybe I'm a bit slow here), that military officials are constantly on this list, but liberal politicians aren't.

Ross McGinnis of Knox, Pa., on June 2.McGinnis "distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism," said White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto.McGinnis was perched in the gunner's hatch of a Humvee when a grenade sailed past him and into the truck where four other soldiers sat. He shouted a warning to the others, then jumped on the grenade. The grenade, which was lodged near th...

According to WFP that threatened to put at least 100 million more people around the world on the edge of starvation.The Saudi contribution came two weeks after FOX revealed, based on WFP donor records, that Saudi Arabia had given nothing at all to the food agency this year, despite spiraling oil prices that had brought on the food crisis.While I do like seeing Saudi Arabia publicly humiliated like this and getting this type of reaction, it is sad to see that they even had...
