Obama draws
a crowd in Germany
Estimates of 200,000 or more
Excerpt:
Standing before a massive crowd in a city that
once symbolized division, Sen. Obama warned
Thursday about the dangers of allowing new walls
to come between the United States and its allies.
"People of the world, look at Berlin, where a
wall came down, a continent came together, and history
proved that there is no challenge too great for
a world that stands as one," Obama said.
"The fall of the Berlin Wall brought new hope.
But that very closeness has given rise to new dangers,
dangers that cannot be contained within the borders
of a country or by the distance of an ocean," he said.
The crowd spilled away from the Column for blocks.
Police spokesman Bernhard Schodrowski
said the speech drew more than 200,000 people.
Transcript
of Speech
I think it's funny that America's whore press
was unable to downplay the size of the crowd.
In this type of situation, our lying whore press
usually says, "Thousands of people showed
up
and there were war supporters there as well,"
implying the crowd was 50-50.
Don't you hate it that we can't get honest news
from our whore press here in America?
Note: Obama on Meet the Press Sunday

Bush's DOW
continues to Crash
Down another 283 under Greed Monkey
management
Excerpt:
Wall Street abruptly ended an earnings-driven
rally and closed sharply lower Thursday after a
steeper-than-expected decline in existing home
sales and worries about the financial sector chilled
the market's recent optimism. The Dow Jones industrial
average lost more than 275 points.
Washington Mutual fell 13 percent after falling
20 percent Wednesday as concerns persisted about
the company's mortgage portfolio. The nation's
largest thrift this week posted a $3 billion loss due to
increases in its loss reserves to cover souring
loans in its mortgage holdings.
Other financials lost ground. Citigroup fell 9.8
percent, while Merrill Lynch fell 14 percent.
Wachovia declined 11 percent.
I'll bet the DOW goes up the Wednesday after the
election.

Subject: Cheney shot down Flight 93?
Could that mean that the story of the "heroes"
of Flight 93 is false and that the government
is doing the same thing they did with the Pat
Tillman and Jessica Lynch stories?
Only a very few people would know the truth about
what really happened with Flight 93 making it
much easier to keep a secret in the Flight 93
case. There are many who know what really happened
in the Tillman case and Jessica Lynch herself
exploded the government's story of her rescue.
The only people who would know for certain what
happened to Flight 93 are military men
(who could be ordered to say nothing) and truly
top level government officials (who would have
a vested interest in keeping it quiet that they
purposely shot down a U.S. airliner).
I suppose everyone wanted to believe the story
of the "heroes" and maybe that's why it was
such an easy sell. Nobody wants to believe
that your government will kill you to save themselves.
Dennis in DC
*I* wouldn't want to be the guy who had to give that order,
but can we blame them if they shot down Flight 93?
They could've told the truth about what they did,
but did they have any choice after the first 3 planes hit their
targets?

Oil Spill
closes Mississippi River
And Bush wants to foul our beaches, too.
Excerpt:
Ship traffic on the lower Mississippi River stopped
Wednesday as an oil spill from an
accident between a tanker and a barge closed
a 47-mile stretch of the nation's major waterway.
The closure is likely to go on for days while
remediation teams rush to clean the heavy slick of tar
that is drifting southward, shutting access to
all of the facilities of the Port of New Orleans.
"They say it's going to be closed for days but
not weeks. It looks like a fairly extended closure,
but we don't have any specifics yet," said Chris
Bonura, a spokesman for the port.
They keep telling us it's safe to drill off-shore.
They keep telling us it's safe to drill in Alaska.
The tug Mel Oliver had no properly licensed
crew on board, Coast Guard officials said. . Link

'Good faith' torture OK'd by Bush
Excerpt:
The Bush bastards told the CIA in 2002 that its
interrogators working abroad would not violate
U.S. prohibitions against torture unless they
"have the specific intent to inflict severe pain or suffering,"
according to a previously secret Justice Department
memo released Thursday.
The interrogator's "good faith" and "honest belief"
that the interrogation will not cause such suffering
protects the interrogator, the memo adds.
"Because specific intent is an element of the
offense, the absence of specific intent negates the
charge of torture," Jay Bybee, then the assistant
attorney general, wrote in the memo.
Another memo says that "waterboarding" does "not
violate the Torture Statute."
Well, how about "good faith" refusal to pay taxes?
Well, how about "good faith" rape, murder and bank robbery - are they
legal, too?

Young, Gay
and Murdered
Coming out at 15 drove the GOP kid to murder
Excerpt:
"Brandon kept looking over at Larry," says a
student who was in the class that morning.
"He'd look at the book and look at Larry, and
look at the book and look at Larry." At 8:30 a.m.,
a half hour into class, Brandon quietly stood
up. Then, without anyone's noticing, he removed a
handgun that he had somehow sneaked to school,
aimed it at Larry's head, and fired a single shot.
The teacher, who was across the room looking
at another student's work, spun around.
"Brandon, what the hell are you doing!" she screamed.
Brandon fired at Larry a second time,
tossed the gun on the ground and calmly walked
away. Police arrested him a few blocks from
school. Larry was rushed to a hospital, where
he died two days later of brain injuries.
Republicans, many of them scared and confused
by their own gay thoughts, demonize gays.
They blame God for it, because they have nobody
else to blame.
Being gay hurts nobody, but the Karl Roves in
the GOP parlayed that fear into votes.
If some kids get killed, or some faggots get
beaten with baseball bats, that's OK because
they want their tax cuts and demonizing gays
will get the votes of the stupid people.
How did the "greatest country in the world" become so illogical?
Religious insanity - it may end up killing us
all.

RNC's Shameless, Hypocritical Attacks
Excerpt:
In their continuing attempts to distort Obama's
strong pro-Israel record, the RNC insisted that Obama
has an anti-Israel approach to Jerusalem. They
could not be further from the truth. Not only is the RNC
attack inaccurate, but it is the height of hypocrisy.
In reality, Obama's position on Jerusalem is in line with
the bipartisan consensus among United States
leaders and consistent with the position of John McCain.
Who knew the Republicans would lie in a campaign?

It began with Obama in Afghanistan, being greeted
with thunderous approval by troops there.
None of the perfunctory applause that one hears
when the audience has a military duty to show
the commander-in-chief some courtesy; these soldiers
jumped up and down, cheered, whooped,
pounded one another on the back, and roared approval
when Obama took a basketball and
sank the throw from thirty feet out.
So much for the troops resenting Obama.

Obama is
still an unknown quantity
by Gene Lyons
Excerpt:
They look at him, they see a Muslim secret agent
cunningly programmed to surrender America to
the terrorists who won't salute the flag, took
his oath of office on a Koran and whose wife wants to
kill white people. Before chastising the magazine's
hoity-toity attitude, let's stipulate that some fools
do buy this nonsense. As they're surely 21-percenters,
however - people who still think Bush is doing
a bang-up job - the political impact is apt to
be nil. But if I were making an anti-Obama TV commercial,
I'd definitely secure the rights to Carly Simon's
"You're So Vain." As a young literary scholar put it,
"Satire can tell us things about the artist's
community that The New Yorker may not have intended."
The cover lampoons the portrait of Obama as an
Islamic militant, but it also illuminates some real misgivings
about the many things we just don't know about
him behind his hope-y change-y facade. It gives us a glimpse
of anxieties perhaps even felt by the over-eager
media. Most people won't believe the extremist portrait, but
they'll intuitively grasp the uneasiness behind
it." The real danger's not that Obama is perceived as a secret agent,
but that he is seen as an unknown quantity, too
glib a shape-shifter to be trusted. Despite worshipful media
coverage of his pilgrimage to the Middle East
and Europe, that remains a strong possibility.

Technology, Globalization, and Poker
Excerpt:
Doyle Brunson observed to Mr. Alvarez that as
the game grew more popular and amateur play became
more competent, the professional players would
find it difficult to maintain their dominance of tournament play.
Since in tournaments you can't buy more chips
when you start to run out of money, the professionals'
big bankrolls wouldn't help them when they hit
an unlucky streak.
Mr. Brunson was right, of course, even though
he couldn't have foreseen internet poker in 1981. Today you
can play a lot of poker for very little money
and develop professional skill. As differences in skill between
amateurs and professionals become smaller the
outcome of tournaments comes more and more to depend
on luck. Amateurs can have good luck as easily
as a professional can. No one has won consecutive main
events since 1988; between 1970 and 1988 four
players won consecutive main events.
Poker changed forever when someone came up with the idea of putting
a camera under the table.
That allowed the home viewer to see what everyone had - it made all
the difference in the world.
Last year, I paid to watch the WSOP final table live, but since it was
live, they didn't show the hole cards
and it was an exercise in boredom. That flash-in-the-pan Jerry Yang
kept getting Queens and Kings and
Aces and rolled over the rest of the table - but we couldn't see anything
until they turned their cards over.

Despite the fact that they try to tell you that
poker is a game of skill, no matter what it comes down to,
poker is still about how the cards fall and whether
or not you are lucky enough to have those cards fall
on your side of the table most of the time or
not. The only skill that enters into it, is whether on not you
can bluff your opponent when you have crap in
the hole, and all that takes is being a good enough liar,
and if you lie like George Bush, you ain't gonna
win the game.
