Free kibbles

Bush to pull 8,000 troops out of Iraq and send 4,000 into Afghanistan. Iraq war is no longer much of an issue for this election. That's good news for Obama. He must be thrilled to get a pass despite his desire to lose that war had he got his way. Neither is Afghanistan, which might be bad for Obama. He's called for more troops there, which we sorely need because of NATO's failure (which Obama doesn't talk about).

Mortgage bailout raises stock market. The stock market likes mortgages being artificially inflated.

Russian troops block UN aid convoys from reaching Georgian villages. Bush cancels civilian nuclear power deal with Russia. Well, that's something. Not much, but something.

Now that Obama is behind in the polls, he no longer cares about polls. That's what every trailing candidate says.

Coca growth isn't expanding in spite of the war on drugs, it's expanding because of it. Cato explains that as the US war on drugs cuts production of coca in on place at tremendous expense, production moves to other locations and the supply of cocaine continues unchecked.

Boortz has a copy of a letter signed by 16 House Democrats in 2001 exhorting Mexico workers to use secret ballots when voting to unionize to insure that workers cannot be intimidated into voting any certain way. 11 of those Democrats are still in the house, and all 11 now support the misnamed Employee Free Choice Act which abolishes secret ballot for union votes in America in favor of card check, allowing union bosses to intimidate workers into voting to unionize. These guys have been busted for blatant hypocrisy and taking a position even they know is against the interest of freedom. But liberals will vote for them anyway.

Republicans want to remove Charlie Rangel from chairmanship of the House Ways and Means committee since it was discovered he owed $75,000 in back taxes.

Details of the ongoing restrictions and seeming coverup of Chicago Annenberg Challenge files that document the working relationship between Barack Obama and Bill Ayers.

White House blames Congress for failing to act on Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac years ago when it requested.

Description and analysis of what Obama did as a community organizer.

The mainstream media is rapidly collapsing. After the media's shameless smearing of Sarah Palin, I predict the collapse will accerate. Americans have alternate, unbiased sources for news now. This article points out something I hadn't considered. Since the media plays to liberals, liberals are the ones most likely to hang on. That means the dwindling mainstream media will move even further to the left. I don't know if MSNBC can move any further to the left.

Professor describes one way green do-gooders keep Africans trapped in poverty. He doesn't even mention how many died because of the environmental movement's lies about DDT.

This is a great idea. Since Obama won't lift a finger to help his destitute half brother, Dinesh D'Sousa is starting a fund to raise money and help him out. He's exactly right about the double-standard of the media too.

Conservatives think Obama alluded to Sarah Palin as a pig in lipstick and McCain as an old fish. I'm not sure one way or the other, but the lipstick comment after Palin's joke could be interpreted that way.

Pat Buchanan defends Sarah Palin. That will work the liberals into even more of a frenzy.

Obama embraces charter schools, merit pay for teachers, and firing bad teachers. Obama has seen some of the light. Liberals and teachers unions must be livid, but I doubt they'll switch their support to Nader.

Great article detailing Obama's experience as a community organizer, his fight against welfare rerform, and his search for radical pastor Rev. Wright.

The WSJ reports Democrats air-drop a mini-army of lawyers and investigators into Alaska to dig up dirt on Sarah Palin, especially on trooper-gate. Trooper-gate is now a huge partisan and therefore worthless investigation. The 2 parties can corrupt anything.
