Bill Kristol To Save John McCain’s Campaign
Oooh hot dog, let’s check in with New York Times “lightning rod conservative” columnist Billiam Kristol this Monday. Today’s edition is called, “How McCain Wins.” By being a Maverick still? Eh, more or less. That and Jeremiah Wright, the famous church demon. Watch the man’s mind dance, just dancing dancing: But the fact is the only Democrats to win the presidency in the past 40 years — Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton — distanced themselves from liberal orthodox

Amid 2008 Campaign Cacophony on the Web, Print Reverts to Hobbesian State
Does print journalism matter in this election? “It’s obvious, and no crime against humanity, that the world has many, many places to turn for information, misinformation, analysis, rants, etc,” wrote Bill Keller, the executive editor of The New York Times, in an e-mail. “We—The Times, The Washington Post, Politico, the news outlets that aim to be aggressive, serious and impartial—don’t  dominate the conversation the way we once did, and that’s fine, except it means some excellent hard work

Voting can cost you your life!
Washington, October 1 (ANI): A team of Canadian and American researchers has found that the risk of deaths from road accidents increases in the U.S. on presidential election days. "We thought efforts that mobilize about 55 per cent of the population to vote, along with US reliance on motor vehicle travel, might result in increased fatal motor vehicle crashes during US presidential elections. Indeed, we found a significant increase in traffic deaths on election days," says Dr. Donald Redelmeier, staff physi

Oprah Winfrey’s Mom — a Petty Thief
Vernita Lee claims she shouldn’t have to pay the gigantic bill to Valentina, a boutique in Wisconsin, because they took advantage of her “lack of knowledge … and/or capacity” when they opened the account, reports the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. What’s more, her lawyer says the store didn’t disclose finance charges prominently enough. And to think, this could all go away with the change lying around Oprah’s chintz-covered cushions.

Who Caused The Financial Meltdown? Was McCain Negligent? 2008 Presidential Debates Don’t Tell All.
As you probably know, if exposed to any news at all in the past week, the Federal Government is bailing out the financial industry to the tune of $700 million. Their plan is to buy up bad mortgage debt with the hope of resolving the financial crisis and perhaps some day recovering that money. No government estimate has ever come in on time and on budget, so don’t bet your life on that $700 million being enough. To put that $700 million in perspective, with that same amount of money, we could have f

Review: Hathaway Sizzles In Dreary 'Rachel Getting Married'
Ever been to one of those weddings that just will not end? "Rachel Getting Married" is the cinematic equivalent, a movie with a powerful performance from Anne Hathaway but a story undone by the self-indulgence of director Jonathan Demme, who loiters interminably on some scenes. Demme's detours into documentaries ("Neil Young: Heart of Gold," ''Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains") actually serve him well as he crafts a loose, docudrama style that infuses great authenticity into this anguished reunion tale of fa
