However, as more information became available, it was clear the extreme Muslim teachings motovated the attack.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The US private sector shed 254,000 jobs in September, payrolls firm ADP said Wednesday in a survey showing some improvement in the brutal pace of layoffs. The ADP report came ahead of Friday's monthly report on the US job market, which is expected to show a loss of another 180,000 jobs and the unemployment rate rising from the current 9.7 percent to 9.9 percent.

Yesterday, ACORN and two of its employees exhibited unabashed gumption by suing the “pimp” and the “prostitute” who brought the organization to its knees. To be precise, the plaintiffs rely on Maryland’s wiretap statute to sue James O’Keefe III, Hannah Giles, and Breitbart.Com LLC, for the video recordings which revealed ACORN’s willing assistance and counsel on establishing a brothel which would feature underage girls trafficked from El Salvador. The lawsuit should fail because it attempts to misapply the wiretap statute to the legal recording of a non-protected conversation. The Maryland wiretap statute prohibits the willful interception of any wire, oral,...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Worker productivity, the single biggest factor determining living standards, grew at the fastest pace in nearly six years in the spring while labor costs fell by the most in nine years, as companies slashed costs to survive the recession. Increases in productivity can help boost living standards because companies can increase wages financed by rising output. But during the recession, companies have been using their productivity gains to bolster their bottom lines as many struggle to stay in business.

Imagine an annual economic growth rate of 7%, declining unemployment, a thriving tourism industry, and a 24% hike in the average daily wage. Where in today's gloomy global market could one find such gleaming forecasts? Singapore? Brazil? Guess again. The West Bank.

In one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek, Captain Kirk is mistaken for a god by inhabitants of a planet of Native Americans (it’s a long story). The illusion works for Kirk until a jealous shaman cuts Kirk’s hand, revealing that the divine being is just a man after all. “Behold! A god who bleeds!” the shaman mocks, exposing Kirk as a fraud to the rest of the tribe. It may sound like a stretch — and, let’s be fair, it is — but I keep thinking of that episode when I look Barack Obama’s poll numbers these days....

In January of 2007 Tara Connor, the 2006 Miss USA winner, was under a firestorm of allegations. After she was titled Miss USA, Connor was witnessed “clubbing” around NYC. Then were rumors of drug use (in all fairness, unsubstantiated). Finally, it was also alleged by witnesses that Miss USA was partying with Miss Teen USA, and under age drinker. Drug abuse and kissing was also alleged. Link However, Mr. Trump search deep into his heart and found forgiveness for Ms. Connor. "I've always been a believer in second chances," SAID Trump. Link Now we all believe in second chances. We...

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), issued the following statement today regarding U.S. Senator Arlen Specter’s (R-PA) decision to switch political parties in the face of a seemingly insurmountable bid for re-election next year: “Senator Specter’s decision today represents the height of political self-preservation. While this presents a short-term disappointment, voters next year will have a clear choice to cast their ballots for a potentially unbridled Democrat super-majority versus the system of checks-and-balances that Americans deserve.”

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Few Connecticut residents are calling foul on UConn men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun's recent outburst to a blogger who pressed him on his $1.6 million annual salary. More than three of every five Connecticut residents surveyed in a new Quinnipiac University poll say Calhoun, the highest-paid public employee in the state, should keep his entire salary rather than donate a portion to help ease Connecticut's fiscal problems. skip The poll came after the press conference in which Krayeske questioned whether Calhoun's salary was appropriate amid Connecticut's spending cuts, anticipated budget shortfalls and other fiscal problems. Calhoun...

Son, we live in a world that has leverage, and that world needs to have men that make loans. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, congressman? I have a great responsibility than you can’t possibly fathom. You weep for homeowners and curse the bankers; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that the taxpayer tarp money, while tragic, probably saved the economy and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves jobs. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties you want me...

Even as an $819 billion economic stimulus bill moves forward in Congress, about 200 economists have signed an advertisement saying that it won’t work. The ad, funded by the Cato Institute, starts out with a quote from Barack Obama saying that “there is no disagreement” on the need for an economic-recovery plan. It then adds: With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true. Notwithstanding reports that all economists are now Keynesians and that we all support a big increase in the burden of government, we the undersigned do not believe that more government spending is a way to...

The Federal Election Commission is unlikely to conduct a potentially embarrassing audit of how Barack Obama raised and spent his presidential campaign’s record-shattering windfall, despite allegations of questionable donations and accounting that had the McCain campaign crying foul. Adding insult to injury for Republicans: The FEC is obligated to complete a rigorous audit of McCain’s campaign coffers, which will take months, if not years, and cost McCain millions of dollars to defend.

Sorry for the vanity, but Bill is showing his populist message once again fails on economics. The bail out run by the same "pinheads" that brought us the crises in the first place is dumb. It reminds me of Sarbane Oxley (SOX) that ended up being enforced by the same pinhead accountants that brough us Enron. That worked well as SOX prevented FANNIE, FREDDIE, Lehman, Merrill, AIG...... Newt is the only guy making sense right now.

..... DENVER — Speculation about who John McCain would name as his running mate focused on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin after reports circulated early Friday that two short-listers — Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty — were out out of the running.
