		<description>I&#039;ve got it on very good authority (Phil Gramm) that those 967,831 who went bankrupt the past twelve months are a bunch of whiners who should try to have a more positive outlook!  Because our economy is just wonderful, the Republicans have done nothing wrong , and it&#039;s all Bill Clinton&#039;s fault anyway.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;misshusseinmolly Says:
Because of McCain’s utter lack of economic savvy, conventional wisdom suggests that he needs a running mate with strength in this area.

The tough part is going to be finding somebody with knowledge of economic matters who will buy into McCain’s economic proposals.

Should be interesting.&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Only Bill Kristol comes to mind.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Cheney: &quot;The policies of our country comply with our law...&quot;

Too bad the politicians don&#039;t. See, for example the Think Fast entry just above the Cheney story:

&quot;Justice Department lawyers said they would go to court as soon as today to block a ruling by U.S. District Judge John Bates that forces the White House to cooperate with the attorneys scandal investigation.”</description>

		<description>The &lt;em&gt;Denver Post &lt;/em&gt;has a story on the lack of toilets and water at the protest zone near the Pepsi Center.

http://www.denverpost.com/politicswestnews/ci_10320525

I find local news does a better job of telling the story.  (I live in West Texas, where San Angelo&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Standard Times &lt;/em&gt;had the most informative coverage of the Fundamentalist Mormon group in El Dorado).</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;CNN reports that the number of people and businesses heading to bankruptcy court has spiked. &lt;strong&gt;“Bankruptcy filings surged&lt;/strong&gt; 29% in the 12 months that ended June 30, according to government figures released Wednesday.”&lt;/em&gt;

Biden&#039;s speech last night was very nice about supporting the middle class and all but if memory serves, he voted in favor of the law making it harder to file for bankruptcy.

		<description>Fred, of course we have all those nonlethal methods of subduing people.  Nevermind that many people die, the victim of those nonlethal tools.

As you say Nixon is back, the police state is spreading. I heard the General in charge of NorthCom talk about all his collaboration with state National Guard, Border Patrol, and even local law enforcement.  Want to be a military drone is doing surveillance in Denver?</description>

		<description>Uncle Ho, I found the comments below the &lt;em&gt;Denver Post &lt;/em&gt;article interesting. The link is below:

http://www.denverpost.com/commented/ci_10317164?source=commented-politics

The hotel security guard was a Boulder County Sherrif&#039;s Deputy.  I don&#039;t see how he had arresting powers as he was out of his jurisdiction.

The Denver PD had to make the arrest and they sounded a bit ugly.  The ABC report stated:

&lt;em&gt;A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker&#039;s neck, then twisted the producer&#039;s arm behind him to put on handcuffs. 

During the arrest, one of the officers can be heard saying to Eslocker, &quot;You&#039;re lucky I didn&#039;t knock the f..k out of you.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Recall our society has policemen tasing elderly ladies for the crime of turning their water off.  It shocks homeless pregnant women for sitting on a sidewalk.  They weren&#039;t so lucky as Mr. Eslocker, who has the full legal team of ABC News behind him.</description>

		<description>Putin accuses US of orchestrating Georgian war. 

I fully believed this when it was started. It just seemed too convenient for McCain and the Neocons. Don&#039;t put anything past these people.
