NY Times Goin' Down
Poetic justice…?
New York Times Co. says its second-quarter earnings fell 82 percent from the year-ago quarter boosted by a one-time gain. Meanwhile, print advertising revenue continued to shrink.
Revenue dropped 6 percent to $741.9 million, missing the average Wall Street estimate for $754 million. Ad revenue slipped down 11 percent, hurt mostly by fewer classified ads.

Nas Joins Faux Attack
Isn't it sad to watch the clueless follow blindly…
New York rapper Nas has joined a protest against FOX News.
Citing what he calls "race baiting" and "Obama smears" by FOX, Nas will join ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org to deliver more than 620,000 petition signatures demanding that the network end its "pattern of racist attacks against black Americans," [...]
The Hollywood Underground Railroad
Of this, I know personally.
A group of politically conservative and centrist Hollywood figures organized by actor Gary Sinise and others has been meeting quietly in restaurants and private homes, forming a loose-knit network of entertainers who share common beliefs like supporting U.S. troops and traditional American values.
The group, whose members call themselves "Friends of Abe" [...]
Edwards Bust Ignored By MSM Noticed
Can you imagine if this were a Republican?
Edwards, Rielle Hunter, Busted: HuffPo 's Sam Stein, who got the story rolling, appears to be vindicated. … P.S.: Always trust content from kausfiles! Never trust content from Jerome Armstrong. … P.P.S.: Will this be the first presidential-contender level scandal to occur completely in the undernews, without [...]

What a whiny, ungrateful little…
I find myself in the last bastion of male dominance, and realizing what Hillary Clinton might have realized not long ago: Sexism in the American society is more common than racism, and certainly more acceptable or forgivable.
— Katie Couric, interview in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz
Sexism, eh? Isn't Katie Couric paid around [...]
DNC As I Say, Not As I Do
While some Capitol Hill lawmakers (unified against drilling for oil to ease the people's pain at the pump) are tossing around the idea of raising gasoline taxes on the rest of us, they seem to believe those rules shouldn't apply to them.
How liberal.
The committee hosting the Democratic National Convention has used the city's gas pumps [...]

Obama Birth Certif Controversy Won't Go Away
There seems to be smoke here. Will Hillary put out the fire in Denver?
Barack Obama may be on a world tour surrounded by a fawning media, but Sunday an expert in electronic document forensics released a detailed report on the purported birth certificate — actually a "Certification of Live Birth" or COLB — claimed as [...]
Helen Thomas Clears The Air
Well, I guess it's now a done deal.
Yeas & Nays got a sneak peak at Rory Kennedy’s new HBO documentary — “Thank You, Mr. President: Helen Thomas at The White House” — which premieres next month, and Thomas is asked whether most White House reporters are liberal.
“Hell no!” she responds. “I’m dying to find another [...]
Anatomy Of Stubborn Arrogance
His words speak for themselves.
I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence. In fact, I think it will do the reverse.
— Sen. Barack Obama, January 2007
Eighteen months later on the ground…
Here is what I will say. I think that, I did not anticipate, and I think [...]

Here we go again…
Vice Presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards was caught visiting his mistress and secret love child at 2:40 this morning in a Los Angeles hotel by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.

Denver: Better Safe Than Sorry
It's truly amazing that those who preach peace, love, and tolerance, are capable of some serious mayhem.
Sheriff Grayson Robinson is in favor of a new ordinance that he says is about public safety. It would bar protestors from carrying items such as metal wiring, wooden clubs, slingshots, gas masks, and squirt guns within demonstration areas.
"This [...]
Autistic Kids=Brats?
Given our over-diagnosed, over-medicated society, I've often pondered this…
Radio talk show host Michael Savage, who described 99 percent of children with autism as brats, said Monday he was trying to "boldly awaken" parents to his view that many people are being wrongly diagnosed.
Some parents of autistic children have called for Savage's firing after he described [...]
Media Bias Update
It's not like the media cares about being subtle. Remember, they believe "ordinary people" are too stupid to notice.
The blatant bias of the major national news media toward Barack Obama is now so overwhelming that it would not be worth noting, except that the election of a President of the United States is involved. It [...]
An On-The-Ground Perspective
This just in from Sheila Raviv, Jerusalem Diarist…
22nd July 2008
Today another Arab worker decided to take his vehicle – a conventional tractor-digger – and use it to maim and wreak havoc.
Today's attack took place on King David Street, a few metres away from the famous King David Hotel where British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was [...]
Too Green Or Not Too Green
It would appear, even with over 300 advisers, the Obama Middle East tour has stumbled over the color green.
An Obama campaign ban on green clothing during the candidate’s visits to Israel and Jordan has created wide puzzlement among observers of the Middle East.
In a memo to reporters, described as “a few guidelines we sent staff [...]

THE stress of the past month is taking its toll on MADONNA.
The Queen Of Pop has sacked two dancers and her tour manager is threatening to walk out over her spectacular moods.
