EXCERPT: a political cliffhanger! Sarah Palin's political skin is riding on today's Alaska Supreme Court ruling about the constitutionality of the Alaska Legislature's ethics investigation - and, by extension, so is John McCain's. Should the Supreme's block the investigation on the day before the investigator's report is due, everyone's home free - free to continue their desperate, meandering smear campaign in an attempt to salvage a...

EXCERPT: Yesterday, this exchange took place during the Q&A of a McSame Town Hall Meeting: Questioner: I'm mad. I'm really mad. And what's gonna surprise you, it's not the economy. It's the socialists taking over our country. [applause] Sit down, I'm not done! Thank you. Let me finish, please. [laughter]
McCain: Excuse me. [laughter]
Questioner: Thank you. I think its so important in today's country to see what we are missing and what's...

EXCERPT: It turns out that Arizona's very own Straight Talker has chosen to try to link others they've served on community boards with as ideological life mate, which if McCain says it, it must be true.
But if that is true, then what are we to make of John McCain's involvement with the US Council for World Freedom, which was a part of an umbrella of anti- Semite hate groups, aimed at destabilizing and overthrowing communists, and as a gathering place for racist kooks, anti- Semites, and right...

EXCERPT: Over the past week something has become crystal clear in my mind; Our American Press Sucks at what they do.
The NYTimes, Washington Post, Washington Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, both the local Az Republic and Review Journal here in Nevada, they all suck. Not one of these papers is worthy of our respect based on the crap they turn out. In fact you could compare them all to People Magazine at the end of the day for all the real insight they hand out especially about the so...

EXCERPT: In the latest issue of Newsweek there is an article about Black America's reaction to an Obama loss. Titled "What IF Obama Loses? African-Americans thought he had no chance-then they started to believe. Now they fear defeat." The subtitle reads like a civil rights case from the 1960s or the latest episode of Law and Order.
Written by Allison Samuels, the piece quotes from radio talk show host Michael Baisden,"Look, if he loses we have no one to blame but ourselves because that meant...

"Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they...
