- Since when are education and eloquence liabilities in a president?
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues
  Isn't it ludicrous even to ask such a question? Apparently not, in the presidential race of 2008...

- Obama: Sweet 'n sour home Chicago: The Swamp
  Posted by kelidei from Swamppolitics
  He meant it as a joke, but when Barack Obama recently parodied a famous line from "The Untouchables" he also dredged up the reputation of his longtime home as a place that is rough, raw and unlikely to breed reform.

- GOP ought to declare War on Error
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Jazz-from-hell.blogspot
  It no jocke! Despite the hapless Republicans being roused these last few days by the fiery speeches of Sarah Palin and John McCain, the GOP still finds ways to embarrass itself at its own convention to the delight of the world...

- The McCain Veepstakes: What Might Have Been
  Posted by Shemuses
  With energy, climate change and rising fuel prices the key issues of concern to voters, you wonder what possessed John McCain to put climate-skeptic Sarah Palin one heartbeat away from the presidency -- instead of far more qualified candidates on his short list of potential nominees.

Mercenary Outfit Send Mass Email Offering Positions in the Wake of Gustav

One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: http://www.gustav-insurance-claim-denials.com/ that would be a site you should visit.

Congress's Apology for Slavery Is a Good Thing—It's Just Not Enough

Agreed. Now that the apology has been made all can be forgiven and everyone should be happy. Lets get on with life.
BTW – Slavery wasn’t "just the evil doings of greedy Southern planters." Slavery was a 5,000 year old institution practiced all over the world (and still is in places.) Perhaps apologies should be demanded from a few of those places?

Yes, good to know that our Congress is focused on such important issues while they completely ignore stupid things like the cost of energy.

Castro urges Farc to free hostages

If there’s one thing that annoys me is to see Colombia spelt wrong. The day journalists learn to write Colombia (not Columbia) is the day when news from South America will be less biased.

Is the New Yorker's Muslim Obama cover incendiary or satire? | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

It’s both. Right, it’s satire to the elitist New Yorker editorial board – oblivious to the incendiary impact of what they’ve done.

Yes she voted for that bill. I find the T-shirt message ominous.
