Finally, a celebrity who earned it. Michael Phelps is demonstrating the best of
America as he continues racking up gold medals in the China Olympics. Check out
these awesome photos of his split second win.
China, on the other hand, appears to be cheating. The age of their gymnasts is in
question, they faked parts of the opening ceremony and the little cutie who sang
was apparently lip synching. The actual singer had buck
teeth and wasn't cute enough.
Russia chose this time to invade the country of Georgia. Obama lost his 3 AM moment,
tepidly calling for restraint on both sides, before he resumed wave surfing in Hawaii.
McCain took a tough stand from the get go.
Russia continues to ravage Georgia as we speak. President Saakashvili was forced
to accept defeat last Friday as he signed a peace agreement that gives the Russian Army the
right to patrol on Georgian soil. Russia continues to strengthen their position, despite claims they
are withdrawing their troops. The Russian bear awakens, and he's hungry.
ELECTION '08:
Forget not standing up to Russia, Obama can't even stand up to Hillary. A deal was
reached that will allow Hillary's name to be placed in nomination at the upcoming
Dem convention. Rep. Loretta Sanchez of California says she’s happy for the chance
to vote for Hillary, and she predicts that as many as half of the Democrats in the House could join her.
Should be interesting.
Meanwhile, more info reaches the public about the Messiah.
This photo of Obama’s registration for school in Jakarta documents Barack Obama as Barry Soetoro, nationality as Indonesian and religion as Islam |
Obama's registration
for school in Jakarta lists his name as Barry Soetoro, his nationality as Indonesian
and his religion as Islam. Meanwhile, the Obama camp is going ballistic over Jerome Corsi's new best-seller,
'Obama Nation,' launching an aggressive counteroffensive saying the book is full
of lies and innuendoes. As usual, they're a little short on specifics.
The Communist party's USA newspaper is endorsing Obama, saying his candidacy represents a "broad
multi-class multicultural movement." That about says it all.
Obama will be releasing his third book next month, entitled, 'Change We Can Believe In.' Color me skeptical. Last
but not least, American Thinker has an excellent investigative article, 'Obama's Foreign Donors.' Worth a read. Drip, drip, drip.
GOOD NEWS:
NASA data shows Arctic ice is refusing to melt as ordered, in fact the Arctic
ice extent was 30% greater in August 2008 than it was one year ago. The chance discovery
of the remains of a giant kangaroo casts doubt on the long held theory that climate
change was responsible for its demise. Apparently man is the culprit.
A Texas school district may be the first in the nation to allow teachers to pack guns and, the best news of all: California
taxpayers may be on the hook for a staggering $388 million judgement. Apparently
the state's tax collection agency was judged to have pursued a former taxpayer a little too vigorously.
MEDIA:
Voters overwhelmingly believe that 'politicians will break the rules to help people
who give them a lot of money,' but, surprisingly, most say that
media bias is a bigger problem than campaign cash. Media headlines trumpeted
the fact that 47% of Americans believe the government should require all
radio and television stations to offer equal amounts of conservative and liberal
political commentary i.e.: the 'Fairness Doctrine.' Headlines on RightBias see it
another way: 'Majority of Americans Reject Fairness Doctrine.'
News-stand sales of U.S. magazines fell 6.3% in the first half of 2008 and PBS, probably the
most liberal network in America, will present a program this fall that says the
Old Testament is a bunch of made-up stories that never happened. They report, they
decide.
A surfer in New Smyrna Beach was caught paddling frantically after spotting a shark closing in on him
CULTURE:
A federal judge says the University of California can deny course credit to applicants from Christian high
schools whose textbooks declare the Bible infallible and reject evolution.
New census figures show whites will be the minority by 2042. Does that mean whites
will start getting preferential treatment and won't be held accountable for their
actions? Inquiring minds want to know.
STUDIES:
In a potential setback to wind power, new research shows that living near
wind turbines can cause sleep disorders, difficulty with equilibrium, headaches
and childhood "night terrors." Wonder how the cave men would have dealt with all
these newfangled disorders and syndromes.
Women, are you attracted to bad boys? Not to worry, its not your fault. A study
by British scientists suggest that taking birth control pills can change a woman's taste in men - to those who are genetically
less compatible.
IDIOT OF THE WEEK:
This weeks' award goes to the Swedish wrestler who discarded his bronze medal in
protest because he didn't win the gold. This poor sport has been stripped of the award and disqualified from the tournament
in Beijing.
Till next Monday, keep smiling,
