p> Update: I wonder how the media will spin Obama's church claiming that the "White Church is the Anti-Christ?"On Anderson Cooper’s CNN blog, Roland S. Martin spins out of control in an effort to help sweep up the mess left from pastorgate. He claims that Rev. Wright was only quoting Edward Peck, former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq and deputy director of President Reagan’s terrorism task force. He is particularly claiming that the controversial sermon that includes the quote, “chickens have come home to roost” was a quote from Peck. He goes on to provide what I guess is supposed to...

Update: Even more radical! His chruch published the HAMAS terrorist manifesto! Talk about a far-left/socialist church! Perfect for most libtards. Oh brother! I'm sure something absurd and controversial can be dug up from the church that Obama can't denounce on a daily basis. Now, since the passport breach happened to all three candidates, Obama really can't use it for a distraction without looking ridiculous. McClatchy: Jesus is black. Merging Marxism with Christian Gospel may show the way to a better tomorrow. The white church in America is the Antichrist because it supported slavery and segregation. Those are some of the...

SALEM, Ore. - A retired Air Force general compared former President Clinton to Joseph McCarthy, the 1950s communist-hunting senator, on Friday after Clinton seemed to question Democrat Barack Obama's patriotism. Merrill "Tony" McPeak, a former chief of staff of the Air Force and currently a co-chair of Obama's presidential campaign, said he was disappointed by comments Clinton made while campaigning for his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a speech Friday in Charlotte, N.C. "I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted...

New plan suggests every road leading to Washington, DC should have a toll booth. Local government officials in the Washington, DC area released a plan yesterday calling for the addition of toll booths to every road leading to the nation's capital. Federal gas tax funding worth $300,000 was used to pay for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments study which took eighteen months to complete. The first element of the plan has entered the construction phase. High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes are being added to the Beltway and to Interstates 95 and 395, providing an extra lane of desperately needed...

Iran reportedly purchased $1 billion in arms for Syria, including missile systems. The report in the Ha'aretz newspaper Friday was unsourced but arises out of this week's meeting in Israel between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Angela Merkel, the German chancellor. Germany closely monitors the Iranian arms trade.

Obama's racist "typical white person" scandal is easily explained by this: http://www.koaradio.com/pages/shows_gunny-hillaryorbit.html

FORT HOOD – Five-year-old Gaven Cox was given one wish to do anything he wanted. Instead of asking to go to Sea World or to meet Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Gaven modestly asked for some McDonald's food. The child's parents laughed and told him to make another choice. "He told us he wanted to be an Army soldier," said Melissa Heminger, Gaven's mom. "I was a little bit surprised that he asked for McDonald's, but in reality, he wanted to be a soldier since he was 3." Gaven, who is diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, was granted one wish by...

The campaigns of Democratic presidential hopefuls Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Barack Obama (Ill.) sparred Friday over which candidate is more deceptive in dealing with voters.The Obama campaign used the recently released Clinton White House schedules to argue that the New York senator has not been forthcoming about her role in the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, while the former first lady’s camp accused Obama of hypocrisy on the NAFTA issue. Phil Singer, a Clinton spokesman, countered that Obama displayed “a lot of chutzpah” by saying that Clinton was not honest about her role in NAFTA...

I see Hillary has been busted by the WaPo on her lie about being a combat vet in Bosnia. Maybe this explains her willingness to fib: http://www.koaradio.com/pages/shows_gunny-hillaryorbit.html

The State Department this evening had not yet released the names of the persons responsible for the unauthorized searches but said two were employed by Stanley Inc. and the third was an employee of The Analysis Corp. (TAC). Stanley Inc., a 3,500-person firm, is an Arlington-based information technology firm that this week won a $570 million contract to continue providing passport services to the State Department, which the company has done since 1992, according to Stanley Inc.’s Web site. TAC is a McLean-based information firm that has helped the State Department automate the Terrorist Watchlist over the last several years,...

A female teacher at a St. Francis school pleaded not guilty Thursday to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy. Kelly M. Sweet, 26, of Milwaukee is charged with one count of second-degree sexual assault of a child, a felony. Sweet was an eighth-grade teacher at Deer Creek Intermediate School, according to the school's Web site. According to a criminal complaint, the boy was sitting on a sofa watching a movie at Sweet's apartment March 9 while Sweet, who was lying on the sofa, rested her head on his lap. She began kissing him and initiated sexual contact, the complaint says. The...

The recent series of multi-billion dollar acquisitions of chunks of major financial institutions like Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Blackstone Group and Bear Stearns by foreign governments, many of them authoritarian, nontransparent and unfriendly to the West--a buyout of America’s prime symbols of economic prowess--symbolizes not only our economic decline but also the emergence of sovereign wealth funds as power brokers in international relations. These government-owned investment funds, some controlled by oil rich autocrats and some by Asian powers like China and Singapore, are pouring billions into hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate, natural resources, media conglomerates and other...

This morning on "Fox and Friends," Brian Kilmeade walked off the set after a dispute with his co-hosts Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy over Obama's "typical white person" statement. Kilmeade argued that the remark needed to be taken in context and eventually got so fed up with his co-hosts that he walked off set. Then Chris Wallace came on the show and railed against "Fox and Friends" for "Obama-bashing." Obama supporters and sympathizers are going to do their best to squelch any further discussion.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A boater who was killed when a ray jumped out of the water in the Florida Keys and hit her face died of skull fractures and brain injuries, not from the animal’s poisonous barb, a medical examiner said Friday. Judy Kay Zagorski, 57, of Pigeon, Mich., was in the front of a boat going 25 mph on Thursday when a 75-pound spotted eagle ray leapt from the water and hit her in a freak collision. Monroe County’s medical examiner, Dr. Michael Hunter, determined that the cause of death was "blunt force" head injury and that...

President & Mrs. Bush are spending Easter Weekend at Camp David. Presidential Message: Easter 2008 [Note how refreshing this message is—after hearing “sermons” from those that are more interested in preaching hate than the Gospel of Christ.] "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies." John 11:25 Laura and I send greetings to all those celebrating the joyful holiday of Easter. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ reminds people around the world of the presence of a faithful God who offers a love more powerful than death. Easter commemorates our Savior's...

The argument was so obvious it hardly needed repeating: We would all be safer if we had a better ID card. A good, hard-to-forge national ID is a no-brainer (or so the argument goes), and it's ridiculous that a modern country such as the United States doesn't have one. One result of this line of thinking is the planned Real ID Act, which forces all states to conform to common and more stringent rules for issuing driver's licenses. But security is always a tradeoff; it must be balanced with the cost. We all do this intuitively. Few of us walk...

Joe Paterno's storied coaching career could end on a sour note -- if he lets it. Two members of Penn State's Board of Trustees yesterday told the Post-Gazette that negotiations regarding a possible contract extension or succession plan for Paterno have not gone smoothly.

Building on early indications that Governor Paterson plans to further the legislative agenda of his predecessor and nurture a positive relationship with Mayor Bloomberg, the new governor announced today that he is supporting congestion pricing. Mr. Paterson said that he would support the traffic reduction bill that the mayor has lobbied for at Albany over the past year. snip Even with the governor's support, many lawmakers in Albany have already said the plan, which would charge most drivers $8 to enter the area of Manhattan below 60th Street, has little chance of passing.
