Is he shaking of joy, or..alcohol or drug? What a bizarre and not so sane signature. I would love to hear a specialist analyze that. I mean, the guy is young...very weird. Your thoughts, seriously.

Have you noticed Obama's signature ... it actually has a slashed zero in it. I wonder if this is why folks nickname him "zero?" Also, it doesn't say much for a presidential signature to have it "representing" a "null value. I'm not convinced his signature means much anyway (The Patriot's Flag - Signature of Naivety)

Press goes crazy that we should dare ask "the One" whether he actually wrote his "memoir" without outside help. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5063279.ece London is in an uproar, smears our Congressman and Businessman. Claims conservative attempted to pay a hired gun to find dirt on Obama. Yet "expert" was happy and willing to take the money for the initial analysis. But now trying to claim how abhorrent such a claim is. How transparently hypocritical.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17, 2007 – On Jan. 29, 2006, a roadside-bomb explosion near Taji, Iraq, started one TV news personality on a journey from war correspondent to casualty of war, and finally to co-founder of a fund-raising organization to improve awareness about traumatic brain injury. ABC news reporter Bob Woodruff, left, and Rene Bardorf, executive director of the Bob Woodruff Family Fund for Traumatic Brain Injury, meet with Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England in July 2007. Woodruff and his family established the fund after he suffered a traumatic brain injury in January 2006 while covering the war in Iraq....

IN the most decisive move of its kind in the history of the wrestling business, the WWE have suspended many of their biggest name wrestlers for breaking drug rules. The action came after the 10 men – allegedly including former world champions Edge, King Booker and Randy Orton as well as Mr Kennedy and ECW champ John Morrison – were identified as clients of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando. That company was busted by cops in February for the distribution of steroids and other prescription drugs to clients who had not been examined by a doctor. It has now been established...

HAVANA, March 3 (Reuters) - It is the closest you get to a capitalist stock market in communist-run Cuba: dozens of wealthy merchants bidding high stakes for humidors full of premium cigars. Cuba's annual Habanos festival ended on Friday night with an auction of five ornate humidors of cedar and mahogany stacked with hand-rolled stogies that raised 533,000 euros ($703,560) for the country's health care system. The five humidors sold like hot cakes even though, for the first time in nine years, they did not bear the signature of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who has not appeared in public since...

Native American populations share gene signature 00:01 14 February 2007 NewScientist.com news service Roxanne Khamsi A distinctive, repeating sequence of DNA found in people living at the eastern edge of Russia is also widespread among Native Americans, according to a new study. The finding lends support to the idea that Native Americans descended from a common founding population that lived near the Bering land bridge for some time. Kari Schroeder at the University of California in Davis, US, and colleagues sampled the genes from various populations around the globe, including two at the eastern edge of Siberia, 53 elsewhere in...

HOUSTON - The automated signature machine did it. Attorneys for Kenneth Lay suggested bank loan documents containing terms he allegedly violated actually were signed by an automatic signature device in the Enron Corp. founder's office and not by him. Lay went on trial Thursday on one count of bank fraud and three counts of making false statements regarding personal banking issues. The trial, expected to wrap up as early as Tuesday, got under way the day after jurors began deliberating the nearly four-month-long fraud and conspiracy case of Lay and former Enron Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling. Lay is charged with...

Key West orders signature feral fowl off its streets Wed Apr 19, 3:13 PM ET MIAMI (AFP) - Fearing they could represent a potential bird flu threat, the Florida town of Key West has ordered the famous feral chickens that wander its streets to the coop, authorities said. The US island town, known for a live-and-let-live attitude, in this case got a bit firm, and late Tuesday ordered the more than 2,000 birds removed from public places, such as parks and streets. "Key West has many uncooped roosters and chickens, many of which could become a transmission source of the...

It's official. Your passport is going high-tech. Biometric passports have made it out of the discussion and testing phase. The State Department's Office of Passport Policy, Planning, and Advisory Services recently announced that it is ready to begin issuing biometric passports. These passports, which feature an RFID chip, will bring about speedier and more secure entry into and exit from the United States, the government says. However, critics say the technology behind the passports is flawed and puts your personal privacy at stake. The New National ID According to the State Department's proposed implementation rule, the agency plans to issue...

"Democracy on speed" is what one expert calls it, where professionals hustle signatures on the street for multimillion-dollar petition merchants, one name and about one dollar at a time. With Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger threatening to call a special election for November, the signature-gathering industry is ramping toward an all-time peak, rivaling last year's record in which political campaigns spent $24.2 million to put their initiatives before voters, according to the secretary of state's office. --snip-- "It makes politics more convenient," said Bryan Kenney, 23, of Sacramento. "It's the only real kind of politics I ever get. My mom is a...

Was talking to a friend of mine tonight at church (who is a former member of the 101st. He was a door gunner in a "slick." His group was called the "ghost riders."). At every rally we need to have a group of people chanting the following hey-hey ho-ho sign the form one eight oh. So what do you guys think?

Until now, press scrutiny of the memos supposedly written by the late Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian focused on the finding that the documents were, in the opinion of experts, produced by computers not yet in use in the early 1970s. Eugene P. Hussey, a certified forensic document examiner in Washington state, said yesterday there is another flaw in the CBS memos. Mr. Hussey studied the known signatures of Col. Killian on Air Force documents, and two signatures on documents dated 1972 and 1973 that aired on "60 Minutes" Wednesday night. "It is my limited opinion that Killian did not...

James Bowie's John Hancock   By T.A. Badger Associated Press   Web Posted : 07/13/2003 12:00 AM   A rare signature by Alamo hero James Bowie has been found on what amounts to a prenuptial agreement filed with Mexican authorities five years before Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna's troops killed him. Jim Guimarin examines an 1831 prenuptial agreement containing a rare signature by Battle of the Alamo hero James Bowie.
