Midwest Flooding Continues To Worsen As Days Pass:

An aerial photograph shows houses completely submerged by floodwaters from the Mississippi River in Burlington, Iowa.

Why this story isn't receiving more attention is beyond me. Look at it, folks, the photograph says it all. The flood damage is certainly nearing or on par with that of Katrina and her toll on the Gulf Coast. Yet there is no call for help, for donations, for prayers or assistance to those folks displaced by this incident. Nothing.

Iranian President Ahmadinejad Claims Assassination Plot:

TEHRAN,Iran (AP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday accused the United States of plotting to kidnap and assassinate him during a visit this year to Iraq, state media reported.

The hardline president told a meeting of clerics in the central city of Qom that Iran's "enemies" planned to kill him when he went to Baghdad in March, according to the president's Web site. Iranian leaders usually use the term "enemies" to refer to Western nations and the United States in particular.

The report on the presidential Web site did not specify the United States as the source of the plot. But state television reported that Ahmadinejad had "unveiled a shocking story"—that "Americans had intended to kidnap him during his trip to Iraq."

Ahmadinejad said the plot was never carried out because of "intentional" last-minute changes in his schedule during the visit, the Web site said. He said the conspirators learned about the changes too late, when he had departed Iraq.

I believe the word is delusional? Though one can dream...

Chris Matthews Had A Field Day With This Clip:



Not very... Presidential. Look, they've all done the comedy shows. From Saturday Night Live to Jimmy Kimmel to John Stewart or the Colbert Report, politicians are reaching out to a whole new audience of voters. The problem is, all of this is going to be used to make them look silly eventually. John McCain was just having some fun and if he hadn't done this he would have been accused of being too stiff or not hip. Chris Matthews shoe-horned this into his broadcast in a clear attempt to mock John McCain as the skit is from 2002 - When McCain wasn't running for President.

The Media Is Trying To Start A Fight Between Wives:



This is the 12 second clip that the news outlets have been playing like crazy. Problem is, it's being portrayed as Cindy McCain attacking Michelle Obama for her 'finally proud to be an American' comment. Once again, the media is trying to create a controversy where there is none. As an interviewer your job, on some level, is to make news with your subjects. When Cindy McCain is battered over and over about Michelle Obama's comments she responds by saying 'look, I'm proud to be an American'. This wasn't 'Cindy Unleashed' as Drudge originally headlined. It was simply Cindy McCain saying that she didn't understand the reasoning behind Michelle Obama's comments because she's not Michelle Obama. It wasn't aggressive at all. Watch the entire interview and notice the edits before and after the money quote. You'll get a much different impression.

It's Certainly Man-Made But It's Interesting Regardless:

Another crop circle has appeared in the English countryside — and this one's clearly been made by someone, or something, that understands math.

At first glance, the strange ratcheted pattern, radiating out clockwise, doesn't look like much — modern art, perhaps.

But an electrical engineer from North Carolina — described by the London newspapers as a "retired astrophysicist" — figured out that it was an abstract representation of pi, the number at the center of Euclidean geometry.

The article says 'word quickly got around the crop-circle community'. I was unaware that such a community existed in any significant numbers but, hey, who am I to say what's significant. It's been proven time after time that these crop circles are man-made but that doesn't make them easy feats. I have to say, I'm impressed.

Obama Campaign Apologizes For Moving Women In Headscarves:

Two Muslim women at Barack Obama's rally in Detroit on Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women's headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.

The campaign has apologized to the women, both Obama supporters who said they felt betrayed by their treatment at the rally.

"This is of course not the policy of the campaign. It is offensive and counter to Obama's commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. "We sincerely apologize for the behavior of these volunteers."

If this was John McCain, the press would be going bonkers.

Jen Moss Seems To Be A Bit Of A Legend In Oregon:

ASHLAND, Ore. — A woman seen frequently in Ashland riding topless on her bicycle says she plans to be in Ashland's Fourth of July parade free and independent of all clothing but a hemp G-string. The Chamber of Commerce says that's contrary to the rules for the family celebration. She says she'll sue if she can't parade as she wishes.

Jen Moss has been known as "The Naked Lady" since she moved to Ashland in May from Ojai, Calif., drawn by the town's nudity laws. They specify only that people must cover their genitalia in a city park or the downtown commercial district, which means Moss need not cover her breasts.

The police in California, she says, harassed her when she rode her bicycle wearing a G-string and pasties.

Moss applied for an entry for the parade, which draws thousands each year.

The Ashland Chamber of Commerce learned of her coverage plans from an online posting. She promised to lead in-line skaters "wearing only a hemp G-string and blowing a conch shell."

"We don't feel that someone in the parade who is topless or nearly naked is appropriate for a family audience," said parade chairman James Kidd.

There's two ways to look at this; If I'm with a bunch of children, I'm thinking this is a public place and she shouldn't do that. Hell, if it was a guy in nothing but a hemp g-string I'd be pissed. So should there be a double standard in this case? If I'm hanging out with the boys and downing some beers, it's a fantastic idea and I'd be cheering her on.

What do you guys think? Should she put some clothes on?

This Is The Most Despicable, Partisan Ad Of The Cycle:



Wow. Does it get any lower? I have a solid feeling that Moveon.org is just getting started when it comes to this election cycle but just so in case you're keeping score at home - If John McCain is elected, your babies will die. If Obama wins, it's all sunshine and lollipops.

Republican Officials Are Extremely Worried About This:

While a number of speakers -- such as Railroad Commission chairman Michael Williams and Mike Huckabee -- have praised the advance of Barack Obama and what it means towards a colorblind society, at least one vendor hasn't gotten the message.Obama Button0001.JPG

At the Republican state convention, a booth hosted by Republicanmarket was selling a pin Saturday that says: If Obama is President will we still call it the White House.

There were other pins that weren't necessarily conveying the positive, inclusive, united front that has been portrayed during the convention. One said, "Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Deportation" and another, "I will hold my nose when I vote for McCain"

The RNC has got to put a stop to this stuff as soon as possible.

The AP Story Went With 'Calls Web Porn Story Outright Lies':

Marcy Jane Tiffany, wife of 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, described some of the material stored on the home computer as raunchy and juvenile. Only a handful of files among hundreds had a "sexual aspect," but they were not pornography, she said.

"Alex is not into porn — he is into funny — and sometimes funny has a sexual character," Tiffany wrote in a nearly 2,000-word defense of her husband, posted on a Web site called patterico.com.

Of the several hundred files in the computer folder at issue, "the vast majority was cute, amusing and not in the least bit sexual in nature," Tiffany, a Torrance, Calif., lawyer, wrote. "The tiny percentage of the material that was sexual in nature was all of a humorous character."

The cache of material came to light while the judge was presiding in the criminal case against a porn movie distributor. A Beverly Hills lawyer who indicated he had a dispute with the 9th Circuit said he was the source of the Times article.

Above is a complete cache of the files stored on Judge Kozinski's work computer. Were Kozinski working for the State in any capacity besides Judge he would be fired immediately for this alone. His wife claims he's 'into funny, not porn' but I'd like to hear her explain some of the files above. 'Camel Toe' at work, really? The man is a Judge and he's presiding over cases of censorship and pornography and he has images of nude women painted as cows on his office computer? Look, we've known for years about the endless problems in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Nearly half of all rulings in the 9th Circuit are later overturned and claims of judicial activism are common. Do they really need a problem like this? Judge Kozinski made a major mistake in storing these files on a public, work related computer and he should pay for it with his job. It's cute that his wife is rushing to his defense but she should probably arm herself with the facts first.

Al Gore Endorses Obama And Promises To 'Help Him':

FLINT, Mich. - Al Gore announced his endorsement of Barack Obama Monday and promised to help the Democrat achieve what eluded him — the presidency.

In a letter to be e-mailed to Obama supporters, the former vice president and Nobel Prize winner wrote, "From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected president of the United States."

In 2000, Gore won the popular vote but lost the disputed 2000 election to George W. Bush, who captured Florida and its electoral votes after a divided Supreme Court ended the recount. Since then, Gore has made combatting global warming his signature issue, and has been recognized worldwide for his effort — from an Academy Award for a documentary for his effort to the Nobel prize.

Don't you love how the AP worked in that 'Gore won the popular vote in 2000' line? Look, more of the same here, this will do nothing except tie Obama to old party politics and hurt his campaign. How can you push for 'change' whilst hanging tight with the old guard? It makes no sense. Then again, Al Gore never makes much sense.
