GUILT BY AGREEMENT

An unapologetic aging domestic terrorist writes a book about "justice" and Barack Obama praises it. This isn't guilt by association but guilt by agreement.

The Real Obama: Part III

What about those "real issues" that Barack Obama's supporters in the media say we should get back to, whenever some new unsavory fact about his past comes out?

IS ACORN STEALING THE ELECTION?

Election Fraud: A radical group Barack Obama used to work for is committing voter-registration fraud in several states, ahead of the election. What does Obama know about this scam?

OBAMA'S EARMARK FOR FR. PFLEGER

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents detailing earmarks submitted by Barack Obama on behalf of his family and political supporters during his time in the Illinois State Senate. The documents were obtained under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Among the projects detailed in the documents uncovered by Judicial Watch:

74% OF CEOS BELIEVE OBAMA WOULD BE DISASTROUS

"I’m not terribly excited about McCain being president, but I’m sure that Obama, if elected, will have a negative impact on business and the economy," said one CEO voicing his lack of enthusiasm for either candidate, but particularly Obama.

DISTRICT 24 GUYS: GROTBERG, KIEFERT, AND WAGAR

'FREEDOM SALUTE' SLATED FOR SOLDIERS

JAMESTOWN (AP) - Members of the North Dakota National Guard's 817th Engineer Company are to honored Sunday in Jamestown.

A LONG TERM STRATEGY FOR A FREE MARKET BAILOUT

It is time we started looking to the market place for solutions to our economic crisis. If we continue to look to the federal government to fix the problem, we will eventually corrupt and destroy America's free market system ... and lose ever more economic freedom.

DEMOCRATS SHOULDN'T CODDLE CHÁVEZ

If Mr. Chávez thinks he can go nuclear with no consequences it is because he understands the divided allegiances in Washington. One way to solve that problem would be for Democrats to come out and say whose side they are on.

OBAMA SOUGHT HUD GRANT FOR DONOR

Sen. Barack Obama, who vows to change Washington by trimming wasteful spending and disclosing special-interest requests, wrote the Bush administration last year to seek a multimillion-dollar federal grant for a Chicago housing project that is behind schedule and whose development team includes a longtime political supporter.

NEW DAWN: HOW U.S. TURNED COUNTERINSURGENCY TIDE

Any Iraq combat memoir blurbed as a “must-read” by General David Petraeus deserves serious attention. Sure enough, Army Colonel Peter Mansoor’s account of his one-year post in Baghdad, where he commanded a 3,500-man brigade, is a valuable addition to the literature of the war.

LOOKING BACK FROM THE LEFT COAST

THE BARRACUDA BITES BACK

Whatever it is, I'll have a hard time buying the line that Palin's a disaster until someone qualified enough to interview her does so. Last night's debate showed that McCain made a solid choice, one who shares a characteristic of his. She's at her most interesting when she's in a fight.

BIDEN TELLS 14 LIES DURING VP DEBATE

Senator Joe Biden lied at least 14 times during the vice presidential debate according to those counting at John McCain’s presidential headquarters.

PALIN HAS EVERYTHING THAT COUNTS

I must admit to being quite taken aback, last week, by Kathleen Parker's insistence that Sarah Palin do the Country and her Party the favor of withdrawing from this race. One is left to only imagine whether Ms. Parker is of the same mind today, or whether she will now be sending this advice to Joe Biden instead.

SARAH BIDEN: VICE-PRESIDENTIAL MELTDOWN

In response to Palin’s unbridled misstatements, journalists have coined the term “Palinism” — the serial voicing of sweeping declarations that are either insulting, or untrue — or both. No wonder rumors mount that Sen. McCain is now seeking a possible graceful exit for the gaffe-prone Palin, even as the Obama campaign continues to make the contrast with their own sober and circumspect Joe Biden.

OBAMA’S FISHY $200 MILLION

FUNNY MONEY

An auditor for the Federal Election Commission is attempting to have his bosses seek a formal investigation into the collection by the Obama for President campaign of more than $200 million in potentially illegal political donations, including millions of dollars of illegal, foreign donations, and has sought a request for assistance from the Department of Justice or Federal Bureau of Investigation. But the analyst's requests have largely been ignored. "I can't get anyone to move. I believe we are looking at a hijacking of our political system that makes the Clinton and Gore fundraising scandals pale in comparison. And no one here wants to touch it."

THE CUBAN DIET

Food Rationing: The global warming scare isn't about the environment as much as it is about smothering capitalism and forcing Americans to change their lifestyles. A report out of Great Britain confirms this.

IN DEFENSE OF GWEN IFILL

It is quite possible that the appearance of a conflict of interest will actually work to neutralize the reality of such a conflict--that is, that Ifill, knowing her book puts her under additional scrutiny, will take extra care to be fair.

AN AUTOCRATIC SOUL

Whatever happens in Russia in the years ahead, we need to recognize that the current Russian regime has gone too far along the totalitarian road to share common goals with a democratic country like the United States. Any hope that goodwill gestures or concessions will be either well received or reciprocated is wishful thinking. Like their Soviet predecessors, the current crop of Russia’s autocrats harbor an unquenchable animus toward the United States and what it stands for. And like their Soviet predecessors, they prefer the friendship of gutter regimes like Iran, Cuba and Venezuela.
