than both McCain and Obama. Obama
can take heart, though. They love him in Iran. Iranian TV is
stating that his election "would
improve the situation in America." Maybe for Iran.
A whopping
71% of Obama supporters feel the Constitution shouldn't
be upheld and VP nominee Biden stated that an Obama administration might just
pursue criminal charges against Bush.
For anyone considering voting for Obama, just check out
this video clip of him performing without a teleprompter.
Truly frightening.
Sec. of State Rice with Libya's Muammar Qaddafi
Gen. David Petraeus said declining violence in Iraq has
raised the possibility that American
combat troops could start leaving by next summer. Can you
spell 'Mission Accomplished?'
In other historic, overlooked news,
Condoleeza Rice met with Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi of
Libya, sealing the resumption of ties between the U.S. and a country we once branded
as a terrorist outcast. Remember Libya? They're the ones that laid down their arms
and started acting halfway civilized right after we went into Iraq. Could there
be something to this 'peace through strength' stuff?
CULTURE:
The ACLU is
continuing
their ongoing fight against the Boy Scouts of America. Plans by the University
of Chicago to establish a research institute named after free-market economist Milton
Friedman are being met with a protest.
100 tenured faculty signed a petition opposing this privately
funded tribute to one of the greatest intellectuals of our time. A classic case
of being educated beyond one's intelligence.
Vanity Fair has
named Russian strongman Putin as their most influential
and powerful person and a
new Russian teaching manual claims that mass murderer Stalin
acted 'entirely rationally' in executing and imprisoning millions of people. Also
in Russia, for the first time in history, over 100 youngsters stand to
inherit more than $1 billion from the country's burgeoning
ranks of oligarch. Think Paris Hilton times 10. Those figures could change, as capital
has been fleeing Russia ever since they invaded Georgia. So far, $19 billion has
left the country.
A British couple is
on trial in Dubai for having sex on a public beach. I guess they were under
the illusion that all cultures are equal. Scientists have found what they call a
'monogamy gene.' Guess what Boy Clinton is getting for Xmas?
A Florida
man was busted by Florida police for violating an ordinance
against low-slung pants. No cracks, please.
Jenny, the oldest gorilla in captivity dies in Dallas Zoo at age 55 |
Australia
is in the grip of a 'man drought' where women increasingly
outnumber men. An elephant at the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo
managed to score 87% on a math test. That's better than
most students in our government schools. Think about it.
An estimated 123 people were shot and killed in Chicago over the summer. That's
nearly
double the number of soldiers killed in Iraq during the
same period.
Our military
halted the Pakistan offensive for Ramadan and Chavez's
Citgo will be granted 250,000 barrels of oil from our
Strategic Petroleum Reserve because of Venezuela's inability to secure crude in
the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav. Is the US a great country, or what!
IDIOT OF THE WEEK:
This week's winner is Michael Lasiter, 33. He tried to
cut off his own arm in a Denny's restaurant in California
after becoming convinced that he had injected an air bubble into his veins, along
with the crack.
Honorable mention has to go to this Code Pink anarchist at the GOP convention.
Check
him out doing the taser dance.
ON THE LIGHT SIDE:
In order to keep you smiling, I include this
cute video of Piper Palin giving brother Trig a spit bath.
In order to keep you energized, I include
this video of an 11 year-old girl field stripping an AR-15
in 15-seconds flat. She sent the video to the cutest boy in 6th grade with a note
asking "Do you like me?" Priceless.
Till next Monday, keep smiling,
Nancy Morgan
