It's starting to appear that "Senate Candidate #5" - Jessie Jackson, Jr. - could be up to his eyeballs in Gov. Blagojevich's senate seat auction. Here's a good article from the Chicago Sun Times about his cronies raising money for Blago's campaign on Jackson's behalf: "As Gov. Rod Blagojevich...

On another note, one of these days I need to get somebody on this site to explain how to parse statements into the separate blue boxes and post responses individually. In spite of being an old dog, it would be nice to learn this new trick.:confused:

These reports are all over the internet. The most noted quote came from none other than David Axelrod, Obama's senior advisor who also had connections to previous Blogo campaigns. He stated the following during an interview on Fox News in Chicago November 23: "I know he's talked to the...

"Farmers are up in arms over a Bush admin EPA proposal to levy $175 a year on each dairy cow, 87.50 on beef cattle, and $20 per hog." via Yahoo: "It makes perfect sense if you are looking for ways to cut down on meat consumption and recoup environmental losses, said Bruce Friedrich, a...

This is a good example of comparing and contrasting employment situations that pay by the job as opposed to being paid by the hour. Auto assembly UAW workers are paid by the hour - that means in order to maximize their efficiency they need to produce for the full eight hours, even if it is at...

So in order to be in compliance with Soapbox regulations, one should preface an article like this with "I agree/disagree with the content of this article"? OK, that's doable. Regarding the labeling - read the post again. You'll see that the "labeling" began with insinuations of racism in...

The article seems to speak for itself, and it would seem redundant to throw in a comment just to confirm one's agreement. Regarding the racial pot - I wonder how long the democrats, the mainstream media and others will continue to label as racists anyone who dares to criticize this half-African...

I do see your point - however, I'm not sure it's fair to label IRT a racist just because he posted a tacky e-mail that pokes fun at the language of da hood. I've seen this particular e-mail, or one similar to it passed around for several Christmases now and it's not nearly as bad as some of the...

Quoting from the above reference: "Many studies have explored the psychology of racism and the familial and social backgrounds of racists. Some interesting generalities can be extracted from these studies, including the fact that racists tend to be conservatives, conformists, Republicans, and...

One can't help but wonder if the bailout being requested by the Big Three will be structured on similar terms to the deal that AIG received - see article below: Senate chair gets mad over AIG retreat - MarketWatch If all the corporate big shots operate with the same mindset (which appears...

Dr. Thomas Sowell is probably the premier economist in the country today, and he has a recent article that puts the current recession in an interesting perspective: "...Amid all the political and media hysteria, national output has declined by less than one-half of one percent. In fact, it...

I'll accept the benefit of the doubt regarding that comment with thanks. Isn't it interesting, the context of our conversations about Bill Clinton and the direction our minds wander when his name is mentioned. His legacy will be remembered as the one who was responsible for the nation's parents...

Maybe Obama should offer a tax deduction for people who purchase fuel effecient cars - say those that get over thirty miles per gallon, hybrid cars, propane, powered, etc. Or, perhaps a govt. issued debit card that can only be used for fuel purchases. What the heck - send a check to everyone who...

The problem with spreading this around the internet is that someone in the Obama camp will see this and she'll end up with a cabinet post. If that doesn't work out, I'm sure Slick Willie would make room on his staff for another personal assistant.

I heard on the radio yesterday that Ziegler actually did request that Zogby conduct a similar poll on the McCain voters. Zogby refused, as noted in an article from the Wall Street Journal Online written about this same poll: "On Thursday, Politico reported that Ziegler contacted Zogby this...

We all better keep an eye on this - if our Senators and Congressmen screw this up it could have a devastating effect on the expedite business for years to come. Bloomberg.com: Politics One thing that seems to be missing from all the articles on this subject is the requirement for...

Arkjarhead: "I see what's wrong with making the kids that think they are to good to go in the military get sent to work in the chow halls and what not on the various bases. Make them pick up trash and clean various things." I understand where you're coming from - I see way too many spoiled...

Those increases are probably due to their acquisition of Concert Group Logistics. They purchased them in early 2008, so their revenue will be included in their gross revenue for '08. They also entered into a contract with Langham Logistics around the same time. Take the figures for the same...

The source of this fantasy is obviously a wacko left-wing blogsite, with no credibility whatsoever. Looking at some of the other articles, it's clear that the participants are the William Ayers types of radical leftists that like to publish their delusions for the benefit of others that live in...
