McCain must close 5-8% gap in polls
The most recent RCP average shows Barack Obama ahead of McCain by around 7% in the last month heading up to the election. These last few weeks are very critical; historically, voters have already made up their minds. Obama has leads in swing states such as Florida, Ohio and Nevada by about 2-4%. Both candidates are [...]

Sunday, October 12, 2008
Video game designer Richard Garriott has paid $35 million (the majority of his money, he says) to be the next space tourist, launching on a Russian Soyuz capsule in only a couple of hours along with American Mike Fincke and Russian Yuri Lonchakov, each of whom will spend six months in space. Garriott, the [...]

Saturday, October 11, 2008
As the media has been all too happy to report lately, a few people at McCain rallies have been exhibiting nasty characteristics - calling Obama all manner of names, which aren’t necessarily supported by reality. All week, supporters of the GOP ticket have yelled ugly accusations about Obama as McCain and running mate Gov. Sarah Palin [...]

Saturday, October 11, 2008
Austin has sent back some pictures from the summit in Washington, D.C., despite the extremely spotty internet service. This is like getting pictures back from a Mars lander…I had no idea what it looked like until now. Actually it’s just hotel meeting rooms, of course. By the way, Americans for Prosperity has been extraordinary at getting [...]
Continue reading...Troopergate: Palin never made an admission on Wooten firing
Saturday, October 11, 2008
Bill Dyer at Townhall.com has made an interesting point with respect to Palin’s supposed public admission that her husban Todd had attempted to get trooper Mike Wooten fired - it simply isn’t true: Monegan himself has repeatedly admitted, in vivid language, that neither Gov. Palin, nor First Dude Todd Palin, nor anyone else ever told him, [...]

Saturday, October 11, 2008
A probe into the Alaskan “troopergate” scandal involving Sarah Palin’s administration, her family and members of the Department of Public Safety has yielded a decision that she acted improperly to have Walt Monegan, the DPS Commissioner, dismissed. Supposedly, Monegan’s dismissal was related to his reluctance to fire Mike Wooten, an Alaskan State Trooper who had [...]

Friday, October 10, 2008
Apparently Coalition forces in Afghanistan have now gotten the go-ahead to pursue measures against producers of opium, long a suspected source of income for Qaeda cells around the globe and for the ever-persistent Taliban forces. However, the new measures mention only attacks against producers supporting the insurgency - not just anyone. It’s not clear if [...]

Thursday, October 9, 2008
The National Rifle Association and Second Amendment Foundation have agreed to drop a lawsuit against New Orleans if they will set up a process through which to return the guns controversially seized by police after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The agreement calls for the city to post a notice on its Web site that explains how [...]

Thursday, October 9, 2008
One of the McCain camp’s most vocal opponents of ex-terrorist Bill Ayers is John Murtagh, a longtime abortion protestor who had his house firebombed in 1970 by Ayers’ group, the Weather Underground. Although the details are somewhat sketchy, some of the abortion protests that Murtagh has been involved in over the years have involved violence. According [...]

Wednesday, October 8, 2008
This kind of thing is unfortunately happening more often - minors take pictures of themselves with a below-average level of clothing on, and send it out to their friends. It’s bound to occur with kids and their camera phones mixed with the bizarre “share everything with everyone” mentality encouraged by social networking sites. It could be [...]
