Syria claims US helicopters and troops attacked Syrian village bordering Iraq.

Lawmakers of both parties complain that the bailout is different than advertised. Imagine that. Who would have ever thought that power corrupts or that great power corrupts greatly or that the bailout Congress passed would make matters worse instead of better. Pretty much every economist in America and all of the American people, that's who.

Article claims an LATimes reporter has a video of Barack Obama attending a going away party for former PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in 2003, but he refuses to release the video. If this is true, the LA Times should fire this reporter and no business in America should ever hire him again. If this turns out to be true after the election, the American people will go nuts, and rightly so. If the LA Times allows this reporter to withhold this video, they will disappear as a company. No sane American would stand for that. The mainstream media wonders why it keeps losing viewers and circulation. Duh.

OpenOffice 3.0 sets download record. Sweet.

So it turns out that Obama isn't verifying the identify of internet donors. There's no way to know how much of the money he's collected is illegal. This guy is as corrupt and ruthless as any candidate we've ever seen. The idea of banning internet contributions is abhorrent though. It's an attempt to cut the average American out of the political process. We should just insure that every donor is correctly identified and accounted for.

1995 Obama interview where he explains that his salvation (his word, not mine) is tied up with the salvation of black America. This is guy is a religious extremist and his beliefs are radical and dangerous. He compares America to Africa, Los Angeles to Bosnia, and blames whites for suppressing blacks. The race baiting in this interview shows the real Obama - the racial hatred candidate hoping to implement Marxism to punish white people and give their money to black people. Imagine if a white candidate had every said such things. It's crazy that Democrats have elevated this man not just to state senator, but to US senator and possibly president.

Shouldn't we actually educate teenagers before they become political volunteers? Teenagers can be as informed about the issues of politics as anybody, but it's unlikely they are and they certainly have no perspective on life or the consequences of policies. But at the same time, some of them can put in the work and effort to make informed decisions. But they're rare exceptions.

Here's an tough, excellent interview of Joe Biden in which the interviewer asked about Obama's spreading the wealth around and Biden's comments about Obama being tested. The questions are tough, and Biden does a really good job handling them. But the Obama camp is mad because the interview was tough, and they've banned the station from more interviews. I would think that Obama should welcome tough interviews like this to show their mettle. I thought Biden really shined even though he was double-speaking. He was combative but polite. He did a great job, imo. But then again, Obama would have completely flubbed this interview. He's terrible without a script.
