  • Re: Why Obama isn't showing more outrage ... Iran election

    One possible reason the President isn't showing more outrage ... his advisers believe that although certainly there was electoral fraud, that fraud did not change the outcome. Ahmadinejad's opponents (mostly Mousavi supporters) are primarily Tehran-based, while Ahmadinejad's support is heaviest in rural areas. Rural areas are far less accessible ...

  • Why does the Iran have such a young population ?

    Very well research article with valuable background information. Just because of the Iranian election and the up-coming troubles with the at least questionable results, it is always important to get a full picture. Hartmut Rast, London

  • Legal Foot Dragging Denial of Inevitable by Senate Republicn

    I find the months long and continuing saga of Senate Republicans and former incumbent Norm Coleman of Minnesota, in denying a rightful U.S. Senate seat to Al Franken, both insulting and undemocratic. These Republican legal stratagems and arguments are hollow and feckless, mere tools of the impoverished and unimaginative minds of Sore Losers. In ...

  • Failure to Admit Blagojevich Appointee to Senate Big Mistake

    Failure to Admit Illinois Governor Blagojevich's Appointee, the eminently qualified and well reputed Roland Burris, to the United States Senate will prove to be a supremely Big Mistake made by the Democratic Senate Leadership and yes, Barack Obama. News today is that the U.S. Senate will seat 59 Democratic Senators, including their Candidate ...

  • Re: Education is not intelligence

    I agree with the starting premise of this thread. My father never went beyond the 7th grade in Europe, had to quit to help his family, came to this country and when he died had multiple businesses and owned a fair amount of real estate. He was the smartest person I have ever met, and he had little education. A friend of mine who has a ...

  • Politics - Clarify Illionis vs Chicago

    Interesting article but headline seems to give the impressions that Chicago is responsible for the shenanigans of our past and current governors. The Governor and the legislature do their business out of Springfield. Chicago is roughly 200 miles away. The IL population is roughly 13 million, the population of Chicago is about 3 million. Source: ...

  • CNN vs WaPo vs Drudge is a 2004-era proposition

    ''If you could access only one home page for breaking news and chose Washingtonpost.com or CNN.com over the Drudge Report, you'd be a blockhead.'' Sherman - set the wayback machine to 2004 and that would be your choice. For breaking news this election cycle, I went to http://election.twitter.com This is the filter of the wisdom of the crowds, ...
