High Gas Prices Getting Crazy How High Could They Get, Now $4.00 Gas Will
2008-05-16 16:36:00 High gas prices this is getting crazy what is going on with all these high gas prices in last few years in the United States. Are we being scammed by these prices or is shortage of gas or oil companies are defrauding us as some have mentioned in the news. In my opinion I think the oil companies are defrauding us. Plus politicians could do more but they are probably being paid by the oil companies to be quiet. Then that makes them not try to make the prices lower. None of the politicians thinks this is an emergency but it is. How high will these prices get before it changes in a bad way. How far or how high will these prices go before something is done. How far is this thing going to go before the American people complain about this. $4.00 gas will it become $5.00, $20.00, $100.00 or even more per gallon. Who knows when the prices becomes so expensive that no can afford it. It is scary times many work places are slowing down with no jobs. People will have less money to spend. If thi...

Commentary: No racism in the presidential election?
2008-05-14 22:10:00 Oh absolutely there's racism in this election. I can prove it: Some want to know why it isn't racist when 70 percent of African-Americans vote for Obama but it is when 70 percent of whites vote against him. The answer has to do with history. Over the decades, black Americans have had plenty of opportunities to vote for white people for president. And they have done so. But this is the first time that white Americans have a chance to vote for an African-American with a shot at the presidency. And what are they doing?Wrong. When you accept that many black folks are voting for Obama because of the color of his skin, then try to twist that into making it sound ok, and when white folks do it, it's wrong, you've made a racist statement yourself.You're being hypocritical in thinking that it's ok for blacks to vote along race lines but it's not for whites. Many are responding quite well. Obama won the votes of many, to borrow a phrase, "hardworking white Americans," in Wisconsin, M...

Travis Childers - Democrat - Wins Special Election in Republican Mississipp
2008-05-14 04:42:00 The most significant election result tonight was not Hillary Clinton's big win over Barack Obama in West Virginia, but Democrat Travis Childers' win over Republican Greg Davis in the 1st Congressional district in northern Mississippi.Why is Childers' victory so important? In addition to having a name that seems to come right out of some great work of Southern fiction or an early rock 'n' roller, Childers was stridently opposed by Republicans who sought to link him to Barack Obama.The technique not only failed, but showed the kind of coattails Obama will have in the general election this Fall. Americans are tired of the Republicans, plain and simple. In Mississippi, the failure of the Bush administration in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath is all too close at hand. In Mississippi and everywhere around the country, Americans are fed up with high gas prices, the flagging economy, and the war in Iraq.Hillary Clinton's victory speech in West Virginia tonight - one of her best ...

The Myth of Voter Fraud
2008-05-13 16:20:00 New York Times Editorial There is no evidence that voting by noncitizens is a significant problem. Illegal immigrants do their best to remain in the shadows, to avoid attracting government attention and risking deportation. It is hard to imagine that many would walk into a polling place, in the presence of challengers and police, and try to cast a ballot. There is, however, ample evidence that a requirement of proof of citizenship will keep many eligible voters from voting. Many people do not have birth certificates or other acceptable proof of citizenship, and for some people, that proof is not available. One Missouri voter, Lillie Lewis, said at a news conference last week that officials in Mississippi, where she was born, told her they had no record of her birth. Proof of citizenship is just one of an array of new barriers to voting that have been springing up across the country. Indiana adopted a tough new photo ID voting requirement, over objections from Democrats that it wo...

Market historian votes in on the Presidential election cycle

During the 4-year Presidential Election cycle there is a characteristic variation in annual stock market returns that is evident in historical data and actually makes sense when one thinks about it.

Nation Witnesses Lake Co. Style Election
2008-05-08 14:16:00 Doesn’t everyone living in Lake County feel proud that the whole country witnessed a Lake County, Indiana style election night on CNN and other national media outlets? After all, we voted year after year to keep the folks in place who are running our county government and they displayed their mad political and media skills not just for us, but for everyone watching and waiting for the vote results in Indiana. It all came down to absentee ballots and decisions to not release preliminary totals to the media. Absentee ballot counts in Lake County always raise suspicions given past election problems. The Northwest Indiana Times writes about the delays in releasing Lake County, Indiana’s vote totals: The nation watched Tuesday night as Lake County election officials held the fate of the Democratic presidential primary in their hands — and held it, and held it and held it. The delay provoked a broadside of allegations from national, state and local pundits of election t...
