    The Democratic National Convention is days away, and Sen. Barack Obama is wading through a lot of mud that is sticking to him. During the primary election, I gave Mrs. Clinton some advice. Today, I offer the same for Obama, who wants to be commander in chief.I will frame my advice in the form of questions. If Mr. Obama can answer these questions honestly, he can help himself and his campaign. So here we go:SNIP 5. You have other associations that aren't exactly kosher for a presidential candidate. You've condemned your former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, for his anti-American speeches. Now...

    Lots of groups were there. LA Answer, the peace group, was aggressive and loud. The Obama supporters were subdued. AARP was there, as was a large group of Ron Paul Supporters. There was a large anti abortion group. Every one of the Pro - McCain supporters agreed that the border needs to be secured. Law Enforcement was great, horse patrol was there. A Few of the LA Answer Peace advocates had to be detained for pushing and shoving. Mc Cain was much more on point than Obama, who seemed to be vague and rambling.

    I was at the Sherman Oaks Library yesterday and picked up a copy of the Change Links Calendar, the "Independent Progressive Newspaper and Community Calendar" with the other local throw away papers for kicks and to see what the left is up to. These people make the DemO-Rats in congress and the rest of the MSM look like conservatives. Now to the point: For those of you who are interested (I wouldn't suggest going alone) Sunday August 10 they are having a Progressive Picnic apparently open to all at Santa Monica Clover Park.

    It's blazing hot in Washington DC this time of year while the sun is still up, but the sun certainly does make our MOAB look good. The soldier works at WR and was going home and stopped to talk and say Thank You. Of course, we profusely thanked him in return. Having done this for almost three years myself, I've spoken with many of the troops and one thing that's always struck me is that they want to thank us - while our intention is to thank them.

    Al Gore steals the show at Netroots By Lilly Rockwell | Saturday, July 19, 2008, 11:01 AM Former Vice President Al Gore stole the show from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s fireside policy chat at the Netroots Nation conference in Austin on Saturday. Pelosi spent 45 minutes talking about abortion rights, efforts to bring the troops back from Iraq and why she didn’t think the Senate version of the FISA bill was appropriate. Some questions seemed to take her off guard, such as when one audience member asked about care packages being sent to troops, and if Congress should pass a...
