There is a quote from Novak from back in 2000 (?) he says he HATES jaywalkers and would scream at them because he would like to just hit them or run them over. . . .
At the time he said he wouldn't hit them because he was a "comapssionate conservative"![]()

I find the most interesting part the poll - 47% believe Novack - 53% think he's lying. I would have thought that margin to be wider.

I will take Barack Obama ANY day.
The U.S. Embassy in Berlin has instructed Foreign Service personnel stationed there not to attend Sen. Barack Obama's public rally today, which the State Department this week labeled a "partisan political activity" prohibited under its regulations for those serving overseas.
Government employees serving in the United States are permitted to attend such events under the Hatch Act, which bars other partisan activity, such as contributing money or working in behalf of a candidate.

You know, for myself, we have John Lewis --
and right now a runoff between Vernon Jones and Jim Martin in the Dem primary to go up against Saxby Chambliss.
(Vernon, btw voted for George Bush --TWICE)
So I love what you are thinking, and I will take input if adding a new links section for candidates we support is prudent. There are many people , so posting ads, like we did during the primaries, would be a bit much I think...
Links to the campaign websites for who people are supporting? Yes? No?

John McCain is still playing catch up to Barack Obama.
As the Illinois Democrat speaks before the picturesque Victory Column in Berlin today, the Arizona Republican is doing a slightly less exciting form of German outreach. He is having a lunch meeting with small business leaders at a German restaurant in German Village, Columbus, Ohio.
The presidential race, it seems has boiled down to who has the greatest German appeal. McCain's appearance at Schmidts' restaurant, a "Sausage Haus" comes after the RNC launched several advertisements in towns named Berlin.
Among the items he may have ordered include: Sauerkraut-Bratwurst Balls, Hoffbrau Schnitzel, or the Bratwurst, voted the "Best Wurst" by Columbus Monthly.

a potential President Obama clearly illustrates how important we can still be for the rest of the world.
Quote by TriSec:
Hmm....that tears it.
I'm not watching, but based on your anecdotal reports, this really illustrates something I've been saying for a while.
This might just be the first global election.
Seeing the reaction of much of the Middle East and Europe to a potential President Obama clearly illustrates how important we can still be for the rest of the world.
With this election, it's really not about us or even these United States. Given our complete disengagement over the last 8 years, the rest of the world is poised to declare the USA irrelevant and move forward without us.
President McCain means they will do that, and we'll increasingly become isolated and perhaps even more of a pariah state than we already are.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Reuters) - Republican John McCain said on Thursday he would like to give a speech in Germany as U.S. president not as a White House candidate, taking a swipe at rival Barack Obama while the Democrat gave a major address in Berlin.
"I'd love to give a speech in Germany ... a political speech or a speech that maybe the German people would be interested in, but I'd much prefer to do it as president of the United States rather than as a candidate...for the office of presidency," McCain told reporters in Ohio.
Standing in front of a store in a neighborhood known as German Village, McCain -- for whom foreign policy is considered a strength -- said he would focus on issues at home while his opponent traveled abroad.

Will we acknowledge that there is no more powerful example than the one each of our nations projects to the world? Will we reject torture and stand for the rule of law? Will we welcome immigrants from different lands, and shun discrimination against those who don't look like us or worship like we do, and keep the promise of equality and opportunity for all of our people?
People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time.
Quote by TriSec:
Hmm, strike that.
Obama has chartered from an outfit called "North American Aviation"....and he is indeed flying a US-built Boeing 757.
Sen. McCain, on the other hand, apparently has chartered from JetBlue. And they fly European-built A320s. (as Livin will tell you)
I find that interesting, given Senator McCain's stand on the air force tanker contract.
Quote by TriSec:
Going all Av-Dorky for just a second...
I saw in the photos from Germany that Sen. Obama's campaign plane is apparently a 757 (couldn't tell what variant.) That's a high-efficiency twin with transatlantic range...
I've also seen in print this week that Sen. McCain's plane is an ordinary old 737.
Who's thinking bigtime here?
Quote by BobR:
back from lunch. Sad I missed pretty much the entire speech. I was flipping around the radio trying to find someone airing it, and - lo and behold - it was playing on the Rush Limbaugh show :grumble:
Which means I had to listen to it interspersed with Limpball's whiny asides and comments. During Obama's setup (talking about the past history of Berlin), Limpball raged about Obama giving us a "history lesson".
It made me wonder how he would've covered the Gettysburg Address...
AL: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal..."
RL: "Enough with the history lesson already!..."
What an asshole.

Going to Latin America in the midst of a presidential campaign, he said, speaks less to his role as a senator than to what he's hoping to achieve if elected this fall. "It's more my ability to govern as president," he said, "my ability to lead as president, to keep up with these major issues."

"If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for thirty days because they get infections and they don't have upper body strength. I mean, some do, but they're relatively rare. On the other hand, men are basically little piglets, you drop them in the ditch, they roll around in it, doesn't matter, you know. These things are very real. On the other hand, if combat means being on an Aegis-class cruiser managing the computer controls for twelve ships and their rockets, a female may be again dramatically better than a male who gets very, very frustrated sitting in a chair all the time because males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes."
