"A federal judge has ordered the immediate release into the United States of 17 Chinese Muslims who have been held for several years in the U.S. military facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba." This is a bizarre situation. These men are in a legal limbo, but I sure don't want them in the US.

House Oversight Committee to hold hearings on the failing of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But it won't investigate congress' role. This will a dog and pony show orchestrated to make it appear that capitalism failed, not government.

Russian troops withdraw from Georgian buffer zones.

AIG execs have a good laugh at taxpayers at a $440,000 LA resort paid for with bailout money. Thanks for giving them our money so they could enjoy themselves, government.

The WSJ compares Obama and McCain's tax plans.

Barney Frank, the guy who protected Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from regulation, leading the credit crisis, while he was sleeping with an executive from Fannie Mae, said Republicans attack the poor because of racism. It's just amazing what Democrats can get away with because the mainstream media protects them. Can you imagine if a Republican said something like that? Boortz links a 1999 NYTimes article explaining how, pressured by the Clinton administration, Fannie Mae lowered credit requirements so that people who couldn't afford homes could buy one. How'd that work out for us?

NBC censors SNL skit explaining how Democrats created the subprime, credit crisis. That skit was excellent.

Stanley Kurtz explains how Obama's ACORN used the CRA and intimidation tactics against local banks on the one hand and lobbied congress and the Clinton administration for lowering credit standards at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on the other during the 90s, precipitating today's financial meltdown. Obama's and ACORN's Marxist radicalism are right at the heart of this financial crisis. It's a great explanation of how the 1977 law was used to create today's crisis.

Ben Stein gives a 12 step plan for ruining the US economy. It's looks vaguely familiar. Pretty funny in a gallows humor kind of way.

A Cato scholar is debating another think tank scholar about the consequences of the Wall Street bailout on Google knol. This is a really cool idea. It'll be interesting to see if it takes off.

House Republicans had claimed to have stripped out the provisions that the government could rewrite mortgages from the bailout, but according to Michelle Malkin, the provision for government to rewrite mortgages is in the final bill and was given as a favor to ACORN. This is crazy.

In more ACORN news, police raid Las Vegas ACORN office because of suspected voter fraud.

CNN report exposes the Obama/Ayers connection. If Obama didn't agree with Bill Ayers, then why did Ayers and his board recruit Obama to implement their $100 million radical education agenda? Ayers didn't recruit a guy who disagreed with him. That would have been the kiss of death for his foundation. And it's absurd to say Obama does not agree with Ayers. If Obama didn't agree with Ayers, he wouldn't have taken the job implementing Ayers's agenda.

Thomas Sowell explains that Ayers is not an associate of the real Obama, he's an ally, along with Wright, Pfleger, Rezko and others. In part 2 of the real Obama, Sowell explains that Obama's support for sex education for kindergarteners tells us that Obama is a radical leftist. In part 3 Sowell examines Obama's record on education, but he fails to mention the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Bill Ayers founded that organization to improve education and along with his board, they recruited the man they thought best suited to implement Ayers's vision of education - Barack Obama. The minutes from board meeting showed that none of the board members cared about test scores, they laughed about them. They cared about radicalizing students. Obama's vision for education is the same as Bill Ayers's, and the media should thoroughly examine that vision.

State Senator Obama ordered loads of pork for his friends, family, and political supporters. In the US Senate, Obama ordered $320 million in pork, no doubt for the same purpose. I'm surprised it's that low.

Obama is hostile to the Second Amendment. And freedom.

300 suspected illegal immigrants detained after raid of chicken processing plant. But it has to be the plants managers that are punished.

Ann Coulter rips Joe Biden for numerous, significant errors he made in his debate with Gov. Palin, and points out that if Palin had made mistakes of the same or even lesser calibre, the press would have forced her off the ticket.
