Will Grandma Visit Hurt or Help Obama?
By steven on October 23, 2008
Barack Obama is scheduled to leave the campaign trail today for Hawaii, where he is to spend three days with his Grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham. Her health has reportedly taken a turn for the worse. Barack Obama is widely reported to be very close to his Mrs Dunham, whom he affectionally refers to [...]
McCain’s Moment of Courage
By admin on October 10, 2008
In a town hall style meeting with rapid red meaters, John McCain was asked over and over again, why he wasn’t going for blood. “I’m scared of an Obama Presidency”, said one man. “Why don’t you get a pitbull like Guiliani as your attorney general and shed some blood in this place?” Asked [...]
Editorial: McCain’s ‘Suspension’ is Cheap Ploy
By admin on September 24, 2008
John McCain boldly announced that he was “suspending” his campaign in order to deal with the crisis in Washington. He also called for suspending the debate scheduled for this Friday between the two candidates.
Obama responded that a debate and a discussion on the financial crisis is precisely what the country needs.
For the record, no [...]
Senator Obama, Look at NASA
By admin on August 6, 2008
by Matthew Scheer
Someone tell NASA to listen to senator Barack Obama speak. They’ll learn from his rhetoric of hope, though it’s not just that they need hope themselves. The space station (anybody remember that?) is hopelessly irrelevant, and the grandest scheme in the works is to make another visit to the moon. After five decades [...]
Analysis: McCain Preempts Obama on ‘Race’
By admin on August 2, 2008
McCain has successfully warned Obama off this line of attack, but Obama moves on.
Barack Obama was rhetorically lazy when he suggested Wednesday that Republicans would try to scare voters by pointing out that he “doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.” He has said similiar things in the past in [...]
Obama Flips on Offshore Drilling
By admin on August 1, 2008
Barack Obama has long opposed offshore drilling, saying in part “if people are expecting short-term relief because of offshore drilling, then they’re not going to find it because we won’t see a drop of oil for at least a decade.” Yet in the face of rising gas prices, he’s shifted that stance. [...]
Analysis: ‘Obama as Celebrity’ An Effective Pivot for McCain
By admin on August 1, 2008
Barack Obama had quite a run of Cecil DeMille-like imagery throughout his world tour. There he was in the ‘copter with General David Petraeus, oh wow, he just knocked out a three pointer in front of the troops. What, did you say dear fellow, 200,000 went to see him speak in Berlin?
This whole [...]
Ludacris’ ‘Politics’ Puts Obama on Defensive
By admin on July 31, 2008
Describing himself as one of Obama’s favorite rappers, Ludacris has a new song out, and Barack Obama is already calling it “outrageously offensive” to all the people it references. In the song, appropriately titled “Politics“, Ludacris calls Hillary Clinton an irrelevant “b*tch” and President Bush is labeled “mentally handicapped”. As for John [...]
Can Obama be an Honest Broker in the Middle East?
By admin on July 28, 2008
Barack Obama’s impressive world tour included a big stop in the Middle East. While he spent an hour with Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas, the rest of the time was spent in Israel. There was Barack Obama at the Wailing Wall, commemorating the Holocaust (pictured), and checking out a collection of spent rockets fired [...]
The McCain Op-Ed the New York Times Rejected
By admin on July 21, 2008
Editor’s Note: The New York Times served as a powerful soapbox for Barack Obama’s Iraq argument recently, but when McCain tried to reply via the same newspaper “of record”, his piece was rejected.
According to the Drudge Report, NYT Op-Ed editor David Shipley, who also served in the Clinton administration from ‘95-’97, rejected the piece “as [...]

California Votes for $45 Billion ‘Bullet’ Rail System
November 8, 2008
LOS ANGELES.
Besides excitement over Barack Obama, most of the watercooler discussion has been on proposition 1A. Despite a huge state government deficit and a deep national recession, Californians voted to build a state of the art, $45 billion bullet rail system.
Shooting through at 220 mph, the 800-mile network would link San Diego in the south [...]

P Diddy Pays $20 Mil. Too Much for Enyce
October 21, 2008
P Diddy is bargain shopping, but unfortunately he’s sorting through the clearance sale of the outdated fashion rack. Sure Clairborne, the seller, previously purchased Enyce for over $114 million, a full $96 million more than P Diddy’s price, but there’s a reason why its being offered the bargain basement price.
Enyce’s brand seems so yesterday, [...]

Oliver Stone’s “W.” - Probably Terrible
July 28, 2008
After watching this trailer, our first reaction was “terrible”. Considering that Oliver Stone is a bonified auteur, we decided to give it another look. Yep, still terrible. The White House casting looks less credible than an episode of “24″, and the choice of framing George W. Bush’s life in terms of his [...]

Malaysia the New Jewel of Southeast Asia
October 24, 2008
People speak of Vientienne, Laos, and the serenity of Hue, Vietnam. Legendary outposts for sure, but it seems to us that a nation and culture brimming with energy and often overlooked is Malaysia. When one thinks of beaches for example, Thailand is considered the king, with tiny islands and clear blue views in each direction. [...]
