Lost amid all of the jubilation of the Obama victory was the announcement by the Obama transition team that it had set up a separate transition program beyond the one that is paid for by the American taxpayer. Called the "Obama/Biden Transition Project," it is a 501(c)4 tax-exempt organization, with no limits on the contributions it can receive and no requirements to divulge the names of individuals or organizations that give it money. Traditionally, the victorious campaign has set up inaugural funds, as well as funds to deal with legal costs and other expenses to close down the campaign. Others...

This is an update to my thread the other night about Cindy Sheehan. A group called Yearly Kos was auctioning off Cindy Sheehan to do a speaking engagement. Last time I checked, the bids were up to $1,275.00. There is also a thread about this auction on the eBay sellers central discussion forum called "AHHHHHH! Uh, well, at least shipping is free. Is this for real?" It can be found at http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?threadID=1000218333 This thread is still running in that forum, even after several days. Several of the posters there noted that the Cindy Sheehan auction violated ebay's policys, and apparently...

REINVENTING HILLARY... AGAIN(clinton machine dumps Geena Davis for Margaret Thatcher) how the clintons are handling the hillary dud factor2 by Mia T, 11.23.05   Clinton, who is running for re-election in 2006, is widely considered to be the frontrunner for her party's 2008 presidential nomination, based on her association with the Clinton brand, her fundraising prowess and her institutional support. Her perceived frontrunner status is also built on a perception among some Democratic strategists that her reservoir of goodwill in the Democratic base makes her uniquely capable of appealing to centrists in the general election by running as what...

The Coming Revenge of the "New Londoners" Could a little known telecom class action case point the way to justice for homeowners caught up in confiscatory redevelopment projects? "A man's home is...somebody else's piggybank." -- Glenn Reynolds Perhaps it is appropriate that the name of the City in the recent U.S. Supreme Court eminent domain case is New London, Connecticut. Over 200 years ago in "Old London" and in the Old World of Europe all land was owned by the "sovereign." The sovereign ruler leased his land only to land barons. There was no such thing as private property. However,...

While the Bush camp is pushing for votes here in Ohio, John Kerry has one special supporter in the Buckeye state that's making headlines. Nine-year old Essence Cheatham, of Columbus, Ohio, makes it no secret that she's a big Kerry supporter. So big, in fact, that she hosts a pro-Kerry group every Tuesday at her school. The students in the group research and discuss campaign platform issues and even do a little "Bush-bashing." Cheatham says she's proud that she's not only pro-Kerry, but is pro-active and stands on her beliefs. "That's why I actually kind of started this group, because...

A new film set for release from PARAMOUNT has raised the pop culture threat levels at the White House -- a film which mocks the war on terror and media urgency using puppets, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The KGB campaign to assault the U.S. and Europe by means of disinformation was more than just a few Cold War dirty tricks. The whole foreign policy of the Soviet-bloc states, indeed its whole economic and military might, revolved around the larger Soviet objective of destroying America from within through the use of lies. The Soviets saw disinformation as a vital tool in the dialectical advance of world Communism.

According to retired Gen. Wesley Clark, when a jet takes off from an aircraft carrier, it "sags" towards the ocean as the pilot hits the afterburner. It's a normal occurrence for fighter pilots who must harness the short burst of energy to successfully clear the deck. And it's exactly how Clark sees his own campaign. "We sagged, we didn't hit the waves, and now we're flying back up out of that," Clark told C-SPAN Wednesday when he was asked whether early glitches have slowed his campaign's momentum. Those in the know would argue that Clark doesn't draw the same crowds...
