The Edwards scandal was a somewhat welcome relief from all Obama, all the time,
but the Messiah still got his share of face time before
for a week long vacation. Phew. Most
notably with his solution to America's energy crisis - inflate your tires. Obama
also stated, with a straight face, "for the sake of our economy, our security and
the future of our planet,
Good grief.
Obama accuses McCain of being in the pocket of big oil, even though Exxon company
execs have
contributed more to Obama than to McCain. Hmmm.
The Denver City Council has
passed an ordinance barring protesters from carrying buckets
of feces during the Democratic National Convention. For the second week, Rasmussen
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll reports
both candidates are tied at 44% each. In a much needed
break from the eternal campaign, the media has turned its focus on:
The Summer Games in Beijing are in full swing. The opening ceremony garnered
record ratings for NBC. The smog hanging over Beijing is
getting so bad that the International Olympic Committee
may have to consider postponing or shifting events.
With the eyes of the world on China, I figured this week's article would deal, once
again, with
'China's Dirty Little Secret.' Most Americans would be shocked
to know that China has, for years, engaged in the trafficking of organs and other
body parts from their executed prisoners. Actually, this practise is not a secret,
its just ignored.
On the energy front, the Department of Interior last week
published proposed regulations to establish a commercial

has dropped almost 20% in only three weeks. If the trend
continues into September, its possible most of the inflationary spike of the last
12 months will disappear. Cool jeans. Meanwhile, the GOP is
continuing their protest against the Democrats absolute
refusal to allow a vote on offshore drilling.
'The Obama Nation' has been at the top of the best-seller charts since
its release. Meanwhile, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi's book 'Know Your Power'

free-market system.
A state appeals court has reversed itself and ruled that parents in California have
the right to home-school their own children, even if they
don't have a teaching credential. Good thing, too, as the California legislature

commemoration in all government schools of homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality.
In Iraq, the good news continues. Iraq has
resumed oil exploration after a 20-year break. Anti-American
cleric Muqtada al-Sadr
intends to disband his once-feared Mahdi Army militia and
remake it as a social services organization. Translation: We whipped his b***. God
Bless America. Meanwhile, Iran has decided to scrap
death by stoning.
CULTURE:
Publisher Random House has pulled a novel about the Prophet Mohammed's child bride
(experts differ as to whether she was 8 or 10 years old) fearing the book
'could incite acts of violence.' In response to this blatant
appeasement, RightBias.com has decided to feature
Muslim Cartoon Week all this week. Because we can. Hope
you check it out and forward to your friends.
Greyhound has
scrapped an ad campaign that extolled the relaxing upside
of bus travel after one of their passengers decapitated a fellow passenger and proceeded
to eat him. Animal rights fanatics PETA jumped on this story and

ESSENTIAL TRIVIA:
Chicago has been voted the
worst nanny state in the U.S. - the city with the most stringent

where Obama is from?
Airlines are set to

with their list of the
fastest dying cities.
Steve Alfano charged with murder in the death of his son.
IDIOT OF THE WEEK:
Again, a tie. First place has to go to another
Father of the Year - a Gulf Coast man who was charged with
murder after he said he gave his 15 year-old son powerful prescription drugs because
he wanted the boy to know "how to party right."
