As we approach Labor Day weekend, the traditional close of summer in America, there is a movement, not just in Georgia, but across America, to add one more day of vacation. At least where school children are concerned. If you are not aware by now, then you should know that President Barack Obama is planning a speech aimed at our nation’s school children and set to air during the school day. Now there is nothing new about this. As White House deputy policy director Heather Higginbottom pointed out in an interview for the Associated Press, President George H. W. Bush...

In Washington DC Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is one of the nation's most powerful Democrats. In Nevada Harry Reid is in danger of being out of a job. The Nevada lawmaker, who will be seeking a fifth term in office November 2010, is trailing Republican challenger Danny Tarkanian, son of the legendary Jerry Tarkanian, former basketball coach at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, by 11 percent points, according to a poll taken in mid-August by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. Reid also would lose by five points to Sue Lowden, the Nevada Republican Party chairwoman and a...

JERICHO, Ark. – It was just too much, having to return to court twice on the same day to contest yet another traffic ticket, and Fire Chief Don Payne didn't hesitate to tell the judge what he thought of the police and their speed traps. The response from cops? They shot him. Right there in court.

Court denies appeal in dog case Mary Jo Denton Herald-Citizen Staff Thursday, Sep 03, 2009 COOKEVILLE -- The shooting of a pet dog by a police officer at a traffic stop here six years ago is still being argued over in lawsuits.

Police officers here had...

This Man Spent A Lifetime Among Dead For A Good Night's Sleep Roana Maria Costa 4 September 2009 MUMBAI: On the face of it, 60-year-old Mukund Prabakhar Agte looks like a regular middle-class bloke with a steady job and a cosy home in a distant suburb. But this well groomed man in a light blue striped shirt, olive green trousers and a ready smile has a little secret. When the sun goes down and nocturnal creatures emerge from their hideouts, he heads to where not too many people would dare—one of the city's crematoriums for a good night's rest. This...

TEL AVIV – The U.S. was an "apartheid regime" that civil rights workers helped turn into a "struggling, fledgling democracy," according to President Obama's controversial environmental adviser, Van Jones. In a video screened by WND, Jones also called for a new "theology of resistance" and "theology of liberation" aimed at transforming American society. Jones was speaking at the July 2005 Conference on Spiritual Activism in Berkeley, Calif., organized by radical activist Michael Lerner, the founding editor of the far-left magazine Tikkun. Stated Jones: "We forget sometimes that the people who poured out their blood on the ground in this country,...

Just wondering if this has ever been considered by others? I know I’m going to be called a FEAR MONGER, or someone will tell me I’m full of it. I’m just wondering I’m the only one that worries about this. Everyday we hear about the unemployed not having access to health care. Just recently, Mac Lamott Hill, PH.D stated on the O’Reilly Factor talked about race, and people without health care and those mentioned people may rather have the care available in Cuba ...................................................................................IF OBAMACARE passes in the form the liberals want, what industry will suffer the most? Think hard...

Sniff...sniff...sniff...we smell some oppo research cooking. That's the only explanation for the right-wingosphere's delayed reaction to Comrade Marinucci's fine camera work from FOUR MONTHS AGO when California GOP hopeful Meg Whitman told her that she was a "huge fan" of the work of Van Jones. Said she met Jones on a cruise. At that time, Van's biggest sin was his recent appointment as a green jobs advisor to President O. Then he was green. Now, he's red. For those who don't set the dial to the right, Jones is this month's Bill Ayers to righties thanks to Fox Newsite Glenn...

President Obama's speech to students outrages Oklahoma GOP legislators Republican state lawmakers are sounding off against President Barack Obama's plan to address school children Tuesday. The Democratic president plans to talk to school children in an address that will be streamed live over the Internet on the White House Web site. State Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, said allowing Obama to speak directly to students is "indoctrination." "No president, Republican or Democrat, should interrupt the education process in this manner," Kern said. "Our children should not be exploited this way for partisan purposes." In 1991, President George H.W. Bush, a...

ARLINGTON, Va. — President Barack Obama is reviewing the long-awaited Afghanistan assessment, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday, and the two will meet early next week to discuss strategy. The assessment from the top U.S. and NATO commander in the country, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, did not call for sending more troops to Afghanistan, but that could come soon. “I would expect that any request for additional resources would follow after this process and be similarly discussed by the president’s national security team,” he said. The U.S. troop strength in Afghanistan is expected to reach 68,000 this year, and McChrystal could...

A Muslim community leader who claimed he had been kidnapped at knifepoint after a BNP hate campaign has been arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. Noor Ramjanally, 36, of Valley Hill, alleged in August that he was abducted by two men, bundled into a car boot, driven to Epping Forest in Essex and told to stop his religious work. The BNP had been accused of whipping up racial tensions in the area after it issued an inflammatory leaflet about Mr Ramjanally's Islamic community group, the first in Loughton. His alleged ordeal became a cause célèbre among the...

One warns us of the phony debt economy and the coming crash. The other tells us we will be sorry because we didn't appreciate the ‘great’ Bush economy and minority homeownership that Bush accomplished. Notice in this fictional letter Levin reads, Bush is not warning us about Barney Frank or Clinton or CRA (all of which were partially responsible, but only partially, negated politically by Republican political bragging.) But both Levin and Hannity explained to us how these three were ruining the Bush economy, AFTER the crash Oct 2008! What is incredible is these outlooks were both made at the...

After 'Obama Joker' debacle, Flickr changes takedown policy September 2, 2009 Flickr came out looking like the bad guy when it removed an image of President Obama portrayed as the Joker from "The Dark Knight." Onlookers accused Flickr of having a "political agenda" and being a "bully." For the most part, Flickr has stuck to a retort along the lines of: Sorry, kids, but that's the way the law works. But the Yahoo-owned photo-sharing site has since retreated, at least in one respect. Flickr revised its takedown policy Tuesday to be more clear when something has been removed as a...
