[DarioBusch.com] Legal “Lingo”? | DarioBusch.com: Now the prosecutor goes to the cops and asks what gives here, and why didn’t you check it out?  They say, “Well he was picked out of the line up, his car matches the description and you know all crooks lie, it wasn’t worth our time to check out what appeared to be a lie with the solid facts we had in the case.  The prosecutor calls the clerk at the store and sure enough he says it was you in the store and you have been buying there for years, he knows you on sight and the prosecution obviously has the wrong man.  The prosecutor goes in and makes all kinds of excuses for the cops but in the end motions to dismiss the case because he knows when the two witnesses get on the stand and testify against a stranger who picked a stranger out of a line up, he knows who the judge will believe.

[The Stump] Culture war, literally | The Stump - - OregonLive.com: Similarly, while there may be a small minority of Americans who are uncomfortable with a person of color being our president, the vast majority of Americans, including concervatives, are not basing their objections to Obama's policies and proposals based upon race whatsoever, but rather have genuine and deep-seated philosophical objections to them. For a former US president like Carter to make such a race-baiting comment, is pathetic.

[AlmanacNews.com] Almanac : Huge crowd vents rail woes: To put Americans to WORK is the entire idea behind connecting the US coast to coast, city to city and it would cost a lot less than building the Mid East by independent contractors or grants being given for a half billion for a car which won't go into production for another 6 years at an affordable price? $57,000?

[POLITICO.com: Politics] From mission creep to mission gallop - Roger Simon - POLITICO.com: Although it is said that we are in Afghanistan to prevent the establishment of an al Qaeda haven, former CIA counterterrorism chief Paul Pillar wrote in a Washington Post op-ed (9/16/09) that the notion that terrorists require such a haven is unproven: "The preparations most important to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks took place not in training camps in Afghanistan but, rather, in apartments in Germany, hotel rooms in Spain and flight schools in the United States."

[The BackChannel Blog] “Yes To McCain” by guest blogger maggisd « The BackChannel Blog: Torture, lies, death , wasting our money, the defiance of the suffering of those people during Katrina, the No Child Left Behind scam and government interference down to every kindergarten classroom in the country, the Iraq fiasco, the failure to capture UBL, our infrastructure crumbling in our cities and roads and bridges”¦..all that and more”¦and a Clinton supporter would still go vote for someone who openly talks about sitting in Iraq for 100 years and who admits they don’t know anything about the economy?

[Reason Magazine - Hit & Run] Hit & Run > The Confederate Leviathan - Reason Magazine: It's worth remembering that the secession was not a clean break by any means, that many at the time of Lincoln's inauguration believed the secessionists were mostly a rag-tag band of high-spirited hicks blowing off some steam and that the South would eventually "come to its senses" and return to the House and Senate in DC where, thanks to its many sympathizing politicians in the North, its elitist political class had a strangle hold on virtually all legislation concerning slavery. Lincoln may well have thought he could push for gradual emancipation later once these squabbling secessionists and their petty rebellion were put down.
