Michael Savage on now with cogent argument and lots of documentation on why Wall Street wanted Spitzer gone. Info also on Savage's website. Savage will be on just a little while longer, since he's not feeling well today. Savage suggests that either Spitzer be brought back to carry on the investigation he started into who was up to what in the big mortgage companies or that others who can be trusted take Spitzer's paperwork and carry through on Spitzer's investigations and indictments.

I would like to suggest that Obamessiah say concerning the Pig/Lipstick controversy, "If you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty--and the pig enjoys it." This would be a perfect retort--as far as I am concerned.

Sarah Palin and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle There is a principle in quantum mechanics holding that increasing the accuracy of measurement of one observable quantity increases the uncertainty with which another conjugate quantity may be known. In simpler terms, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that you cannot make a measurement without affecting the results of the measurement. The mere fact you make the measurement influences the accuracy of the results. Some thinkers have elevated the uncertainty principle to the status of a philosophical principle, called the principle of indeterminacy. How does this principle apply to Vice-Presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin?...

After refusing to endorse President Bush's tax cuts when he was governor, Mitt Romney has now made them a central part of his presidential campaign, stirring accusations that he is changing his position to appeal to GOP primary voters. In 2003, Romney stunned a roomful of Bay State congressmen by telling them that he would not publicly support Bush's tax cuts, which at the time formed the centerpiece of the president's domestic agenda. He even said he was open to a federal gas tax hike. This report flies directly in the face of Romney's economic address yesterday, and subsequent interview...

Thank you to everyone who submitted great posters showing your support for John McCain! After narrowing down the field to 10 finalists, you voted for your favorite design. Congrats to Byron from Mesa, Arizona for his winning entry.

One was a historian and assistant to John Kennedy, another was the chef who first introduced French cuisine to American households, and a third was the father of Stewart Copeland, drummer for the band The Police. In their every day lives they had nothing in common but Arthur Schlesinger Jr, Julia Childs and Miles Copeland shared a secret life - serving in an international spy ring at a time when Hitler was threatening the world. Their work and that of thousands of other members of the Office of Strategic Services, an early version of the CIA, will be revealed today...

“It Was Ivins, With a Flask, 200 Miles from the Site of the Crime” By: emptywheel Wednesday August 6, 2008 1:28 pm 11 diggs digg it I just finished watching the DOJ/FBI press conference on the anthrax investigation, and our crack DOJ wants us to believe that, by providing a lot of circumstantial evidence that places Bruce Ivins in the same room as a flask full of anthrax used in the attack, they've proven not only that Ivins was involved in the crime, but that he was the only one involved in the crime. In other words, they haven't solved...

H.L. Mencken said during the Scopes Trial in 1925 that "those religious groups leading the war against the teaching of evolution are conspiracies of the inferior man against his betters." The proponents of teaching the God-creation theology in public schools have not given up despite the U.S. Supreme Court rulings like the 1987 case where Louisiana tried to use code words for teaching creationism, calling it the Balanced Treatment Act. Other code words for sneaking God into science class are "intelligent design" and "academic freedom." And these anti-evolutionists lobby state legislatures and put political pressure on school boards to subvert...

BREAKING NEWS: Obama's Butcher a Holocaust Denier CHICAGO, IL- Barack Obama's recent string of bad luck is about to get worse. After some digging, The New York Daily News has discovered that Herbert Polaski, butcher at the grocery store near Obama's Chicago home, has posted several anti-Semitic comments on the Internet and may have also attended a Holocaust deniers conference in 2002.

Free Rock Concert Preceded Big Obama Rally in Portland Hugh Hewitt just told me that right before Obama addressed that huge crowd in Portland, the indie rock band the Decemberists played a free 45-minute concert. Now, I'm sure Obama would draw a big crowd either way, but wasn't that worth mentioning in the coverage? From Wikipedia: "Named both in reference to the Russian Decembrist Revolt (which may explain its use of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union as an introduction at many concerts)..." Lovely. I wonder if they played, "Sixteen Military Wives." The video depicts a bully named "Henry...

NESS CITY, Kan. | Law officers in western Kansas are investigating the bizarre case of a woman they say sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for two years. Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said the boyfriend called his office late last month to report that something was wrong with his girlfriend. The sheriff said the woman’s muscles had atrophied and that medical personnel had to remove her from the toilet because she was bound to it by “natural means.”

You can't fix stupid... ONE I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'...

In late October I switched my VOIP phone service from Vonage to Verizon's Voice Wing. The reason was a few features not offered by Vonage and the price was the same as with Vonage. It took over a month and several phone calls to Vonage customer service before they would release my phone number to Verizon. They then put a block on my phone number, without telling me, so that my phone cannot be accessed by any Vonage customer. It took me several weeks and help from friends with Vonage service to figure out what Vonage had done. I called...

We live overseas and don't own a TV. We have heard there is a screenwriter's strike. Is that the reason we are not receiving some of our TV shows that we purchased from iTunes, or is it the seasonal shows that are taking the place of regular programming?

After the AFA contacted Loews Home Improvement about some issues with its use of the term Christmas (or lack thereof) Loews responded: "Lowe's has contacted the AFA and assures us that it is proudly committed to selling Christmas trees this year, as it has done for more than 60 years. The company apologized for the confusion created in its 2007 holiday catalog when it headlined the page of Christmas trees "family trees." The error was not caught before the publication was distributed, and Lowe's says it is disappointed in the breakdown in its proofing process. Lowe's assures us that they...

Bloody Hell!!! Folks, if you're going to say that somebody got "owned" and misspell it in "hackerese" DO IT RIGHT!!! "P" is a substitute for "O". "3" is a substitute for "e". Both substitutions are the result of misplacing one's hands on the keyboard. It's pwn3d. Thank you. That is all.

PRAGUE (Reuters) - A Czech couple who decided to take a DNA test to squash persistent pub gossip and prove that their 10-month-old baby was their own got a nasty surprise. The couple, from the southeastern town of Trebic, had some doubts about the child as her hair was blonde and they both had dark hair. Fellow drinkers' suspicions got on their nerves. But the test showed neither of the parents had the same DNA as the baby, Czech news agency CTK reported Wednesday, suggesting a mix-up at the hospital. Authorities were looking into the case.

LAS VEGAS - Sour grapes from Kanye West — again. Shut out at the Video Music Awards, Kanye West threw a tantrum Sunday night in front of media and crew backstage as the MTV show was ending. West, waiting for an elevator in a crowded hallway, began yelling about losing all five categories for which he was nominated. "That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance," West said, stomping around his entourage and directing his comments at a reporter. "I'm trying hard man, I have the ... number one record, man." West said he...

Why I might obey Osama bin Laden and convert to Islam: because Islam is a religion of peace (and if you don’t agree with that, a Muslim will kill you!). because taxes under the World-wide Caliphate will only be 2.5 percent. Which means that there will be no Democrats in Paradise--which explains how there can be so many "72 virgins" there. because Islam is actually anti-Democrat because it claims to be pro-Democrat. I love double-speak. because it is misogynistic. Women should take their rightful place at least three paces behind men--five behind camels! because it would stone or behead immoral...

My 16 year old spotted this ugly spider residing between the house and grill this evening. The locale is Columbus, MS (northeast part of the state) Can anybody identify what kind of spider it is? This bugger was about 3 inches in length and 2 inches wide counting the legs. The body was about 3/4 inch long and about 3/8 inch wide. FYI: It is now a good spider. Smushed into a little pile of goo. http://myweb.cableone.net/jcdillon/images/Spider2%209-5-07.jpg

My mom just called to tell me that Bob Grant is on WABC radio right now. I turn on the radio and sure enough he is. Anyone know when this began. It's great to hear him on the air again. The TRUE king of talk radio.

One hundred German women braved broken heels and sprained ankles in Saturday's second annual "Stiletto Run" 100-meter race in Berlin. The distance was 100 meters. The field was 100 women. The prize was €10,000. The setting was Berlin. And the shoes were stilettos. (excerpt)

I've been to the HTML bootcamp link on FR but I can't find the how to for creating charts.

A point in the right direction sure would be appreciated.

Barry Bonds' 757th home run was another tape measure job. Soaring above and beyond the right field bleachers and splash landing in the SF Bay's McCovey Cove. The ball was swiftly plucked from the murky bay waters and saved by a local kayaker. A day earlier Bonds broke the HR record with a rocket to the deepest part of AT&T Park. How can this guy still be hitting tape measure shots on a regular basis? He's old and clean. They say steroids are responsible for his success but that is clearly not the case now. Like GWB says, the man...

This is the third time I've run across this argument on some moonbat chat board in the last few weeks: The most likely outcome of World War I sans our misguided participation would have been a stalemate with both sides exhausted from 5 years of trench warfare. The rise of Hitler and Mussolini probably would have been precluded. Thus there never would have been a second world war. Playing with counterfactuals is always pointless as no logical conclusion can ever be drawn from them (since, by definition, one of the premises is false). Despite the lack of historical or even...

I know I'm going to be flamed and elections are still a year and a half away but the momentum seems to be favoring Hilary as the next POTUS. The sooner Republicans and conservatives accept the fact President Bush and the congressional Republicans have so enraged their base and independents that the Democratic Party will gain even stronger control over the congress and will take back the White House in the 2008 elections. What is to blame for the collapse of the Republican dominance over the US? Corruption, arrogant refusal to heed the wishes of the public (especially on immigration...

Like millions of others around the world, I bought a copy of the final Harry Potter book last Saturday and promptly read it. Twelve hours later, I was finished, astonished, at the brilliance of J.K. Rowling. She has woven a universe of magic, not just in her writings, but in the fact that more than a hundred million children over the years have turned off their televisions, computers, and games and sat down to read thick books. What explains the attraction of her work? Sheer brilliance. The clarity of her vision remained unbroken despite the complexity of her creation. Readers...

KOTA BARU: A woman bomoh at Jalan Pantai Cahaya Bulan here has been alleged to dance in the nude with young men as part of her “treatment for patients”. The woman, who is said to be a practitioner of deviant teachings, has been drawing followers through her peculiar style of traditional healing. Her modus operandi was uncovered when a teacher brought his sick wife to the bomoh, who danced in the nude with some of her “kept” men, who were in their 20s and 30s, while treating her. Mokhtar Mohd Noor, 53, alleged that the bomoh first gave his wife...

It was as if the tension would never end - but finally, eventually, painfully... Dec announced Paul Potts as the Britain's Got Talent winner. It was a moment where futures were made and dreams were dashed. But even though every one of the performers here has an outstanding talent, only one could scoop the big prize tonight. Two million votes were cast by the British public. For the big winner, welshman Paul Potts, tonight starts a week of newspaper interviews, magazine features and TV appearances. Life won't be quite the same ever again. As Ant and Dec congratulated the singer...

In calm reflection, I believe this video best represents my feeling about the Kyl-Kennedy Senate immigration bill, given that I did read much of it and became familiar with its provisions after Bush's gentle prompting that I, and others, might not have been aware of what the bill actually offers for America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5SjoT8ci-s

Jack Bauer Doesn't Jump - More's the Pity Previously on "24' the show made sense. But Monday night's finale, when we sat through 90 minutes of set-up, waiting for the usual slam bang finish, only to have a touchy-feely episode of "Grey's Anatomy'' break out, was the end. The big finish, with Jack Bauer standing on coast, looking moodily out to sea, was some kind of weird Hallmark card for secret agents. I kept waiting for the cliff to blow up, or a black helicopter to appear on the horizon, but no, it was just our Jack, alone with his...

In what Bill O’Reilly refers to as the “Culture War” between Conservatives and Liberals, there are those on both sides of the fence that stray so far to the left or the right, they actually help the “enemy”. On the left we have Rosie O’Donnell with her anti-American rants which give Conservatives ammunition to shoot back at all liberals by associating them with Rosie. On the right, we Conservatives have our own villains which supply ammunition to the enemy. They are commonly referred to as the religious right...

The torment I suffered at the hands of Women is way to intiimate for this forum, but for some reason I still love...
