Hamdan guilty, no thanks to Obama

If it were up to Barack Obama, Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a trusted confidante of Osama bin Laden, would not have been found guilty today by a military tribunal. However, John McCain, who supported the proceeding, was predictably pleased:

Paris Hilton and Offshore Drilling

It seems that Paris Hilton and offshore drilling are the two hot topics this week on the presidential campaign. Am I the only one who sees a sick and twisted irony in this?

Nye formally announces energy plan

Glenn Nye, challenger to Rep. Thelma Drake in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District, unveiled his energy plan over the weekend.
The energy plan doesn’t deviate much from what he told Bearing Drift and state Democratic convention-goers in June, when he highlighted closing any tax loop-holes for energy corporations and diverting that money to alternative fuel research.

Obama “evolves” position on off-shore drilling

Seems like $4/gal. gasoline is getting the Democrats attention, despite objections from their left base.
Just like Mark Warner, who vetoed drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf while he was governor, is now running an ad that says he’d keep it open as an option, Barack Obama is now also saying he’d consider off-shore drilling. [...]

Republicans as terrorists?

When I say that Obama’s economic policies appear to be right out of the Communist Manifesto, I have facts and statements to back it up. My statement, while a bit extreme, is meant to get readers (or listeners) to think. I don’t actually believe Obama is a card-carrying member of the Reds, [...]
