My, my. It seems that the New York Times, also rightfully known as Barack Obama’s personal news agency, isn’t too happy with Bill Clinton these days.

In what’s supposed to be an objective report about Clinton’s appearance in some popular TV shows and about some of the criticism leveled against him by Obama supporters, the journalist who wrote the piece – Paul Vitello – seems to have a hard time not lashing out at Clinton himself. (more…)

Senator John McCain has announced he will attend tonight’s debate in Oxford, Mississippi. He said earlier this week that he considered the economic crisis to be the first priority, not the debate, but he now decided to debate Senator Barack Obama nonetheless.

Meanwhile, some political commentators and especially Democrats are criticizing McCain for putting his responsibilities as Senator for Arizona before his responsibilities as a presidential nominee.| MORE ›

“This is a problem created by Republicans.”

- Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid earlier today.

As said earlier, I sure am happy that Democrats are not politicizing this issue. Perhaps I should add that I am glad they’re being honest. (more…)

For a long time, Britain’s Tory Leader David Cameron ran on a ‘comfortable’ platform. He was not willing to take any risks, knowing that Prime Minister Gordon Brown was blowing himself and his party up. Remaining calm, then, worked wonders for Cameron and the Tories; they are the only reasonable alternative to a Labor run amok.

Labor created a lot of problems for Britain, often making existing problems worse by implementing ‘solutions’ that weren’t ‘solutions’ at all. (more…)

In what can easily be called the most ironic news of the week, radical cleric Omar Bakri’s daughter has admitted she is a pole dancer.

Miss Fostok, who lives in Catford, South London, said: “I don’t get on with my dad. I don’t agree with his views – I just get on with my life and that is it.” (more…)

It seems that U.S. economy isn’t the only thing breaking down. U.S. Treasure Secretary Hank Paulson isn’t doing quite alright either; reports suggest he actually went down on one knee, begging Nancy Pelosi to accept the bailout plan he and Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve Chairman, wrote.

Paulson was half joking when he kneeled before Pelosi, but the move is quite telling nonetheless. (more…)

Gerard Baker gives an interesting view on this year’s elections in the United States: if you’re a candidate for the presidency, it’s an election you do not want to win he writes.

The reason: due to the problems facing America, it’s unlikely that the winner will be able to pursue any of his grand plans. This would make it virtually impossible to appear a ‘good president,’ and, as a result, decreased the chances of being reelected significantly. (more…)

More evidence that elections make people go insane. Democratic Representative Barney Frank, the one with a lisp, accused Senator John McCain on Friday of staging a rebellion against George W. Bush.

“It’s up to House Republicans and their war — I think on behalf of Sen. McCain — with President Bush,” Frank said.

I sure am happy that Democrats aren’t politicizing this issue by doing everything in their power to use the crisis and the debate against Senator McCain. That would just be horrible.

A man who sent insane yesterday, who talked about killing himself, and was standing at the edge of a building was tasered by New York police yesterday, after which he fell off the building. He suffered serious head trauma when he hit the pavement, and was later declared dead. (more…)

According to the British newspaper the Guardian, U.S. President George W. Bush prevented Israel from striking against Iran’s nuclear facilities earlier this year.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert brought up the subject of a possible airstrike against those facilities in a private conversation with Bush. Bush then informed Olmert that he could not support such a strike. (more…)
