EXCERPT: “US Democrat presidential hopeful Barack Obama had lunch with President Karzai today. Karzai and Obama reiterated the need for further cooperation in the war on terror.” - BBC Monitoring Newsfile
 
And here is the money shot… In porn that refers to the moment the screen legend makes that final release. In politics it must refer to that moment the news papers and other agencies report what you hoped they would report.
Obama has a problem. CNN said it the other...

EXCERPT: The salmonella attack had been but a dry run for what was to come next.  Jennie knew that now.  But a year ago it was not so apparent – at least for the first couple of months.     In retrospect she knew that it should have been obvious that something was very wrong when the Federal Government could not even identify the sources of the spreading epidemic.  But America was not prepared after seven years of childish incompetent, if not...

EXCERPT:    "We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline …" according to former Senator Phil Gramm, a top McCain economic adviser and campaign co-chairman and now now vice chairman of UBS, the giant Swiss bank.        Seems the doctor is blaming the patient for the Bus***e legacy.      ...

EXCERPT: Change, our man! If John can't change then nobody can!!        If it’s change you want, McCain’s your man.  He 's the most consistent changling  in town - DC that is.       Then he was against the Bush/Cheney Iraq attack... Now he says we might want to overstay our “welcome” by 100 years.        Then he was against the Bush/Cheney torture drive... Now...

EXCERPT: SHOW: 7-13-2008 Should Obama denounce Jessie Jackson?
Limbaugh's at it thanks to Jessie Jackson and an off-mic moment.  We spend an HOUR WITH MAYA ROCKYMOORE Global Policy Solutions, LLC and author of The Political Action Handbook: A How to Guide for the Hip-Hop Generation discussing his covert racism and taking your calls.
FRAMESHOP editor and author of OUTRIGHT BARBAROUS Jeffrey Feldman discusses John McCain's latest gaffe involving Iran. BBC journalist and...

EXCERPT: How can we NOT be talking about this?  The New Yorker magazine cover "The Politics of Fear"?
And if you're paying attention, "moralist" Bill Bennet and James Carville are already jostling to control the frame!
Bennet is claiming that folks who do not get the satire are reflecting the fact that Americans do not know who Obama is AND that liberal New Yorker magazine is too "smart" (anti-intellectual pandering) for its own good (sub-text: liberals...

EXCERPT: So the former Vice President , Prince Albert, sits down for a one on one with idealogue former anchor Tom Brokaw.
I thought I was watching a slow pitch softball game.
After dancing around the issues of private consumption of energy (ie a 10,000 square foot house and private jet travel) where he basically dodges all such questions he fell back on the old reliable "consensus" claim. In fact , he claimed, there is evem MORE consensus. MORE consensus?
How can there possibly be...

EXCERPT: As the democratic convention nears I am impressed with this solution found for the homeless.
“If they don’t want to get caught up in the protests or demonstrations, we’ll find other activities that will keep them busy,” said John Parvensky, President of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.
A plan has been developed to provide interested homeless people with free access to cultural activities. They include the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature and...

EXCERPT: Well, irony of ironies - Bush’s planned endgame in Iraq has come unglued because the Iraqi mouse roared!
US and Iraqi negotiators have abandoned the agreement that would have implemented a Bush/Cheney vision of long term US military occupation in the Middle East - an agreement that would have tied the hands of Bush’s successor without so much as a yea or nay from the Senate.
Yeah, Bush found a way to skirt the will of Americans and Congress but he ran smack into a a...

EXCERPT: Being President of the United States of America takes it toll.  If the experience of past two-term Presidents of recent history is any measure of the strain of the position, we have only to look at before and after pictures of the men who have survived the ordeal.
So what if Barack Obama or John McCain became the next two-term President? 
Here are my...
