Obama Should Come Clean On Ayers, Rezko And the Iraqi Billionaire

By JOHN FUND

Even as Barack Obama gave his soaring speech Thursday night, his
campaign was playing hardball with its critics.

Team Obama has launched an offensive against WGN, the Chicago
Tribune's radio station, for interviewing Stanley Kurtz. Mr. Kurtz is
a conservative writer who this week forced the University of Illinois
to finally open its records on Sen. Obama's association with William
Ayers, the unrepentant 1970s Weather Underground terrorist.

An Obama campaign email to supporters called Mr. Kurtz a "slimy
character assassin" whose "divisive, destructive ranting" should be
confronted. WGN producer Zack Christenson says the outpouring of
negative calls and emails is "unprecedented." He also notes that it is
curious -- because "we wanted the Obama campaign's take" on Mr.
Kurtz's findings, but the campaign declined to put anyone on air.

Separately, Mr. Obama's lawyers have also demanded that the Justice
Department prosecute an organization called the American Issues
Project for running an ad about ties between their candidate and Mr.
Ayers.

Wall Street Journal - REVIEW & OUTLOOK

A Reform Ticket

If any doubt remained that former fighter pilot John McCain loves to
take unconventional risks, he put them to bed Friday by picking Alaska
Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Introduced in Dayton by Mr.
McCain, Governor Palin swung the bat pretty well. We'll now see if she
can hit curve balls.

It's a daring pick because Mrs. Palin has never faced national
scrutiny and hasn't had to deal with foreign policy. Most VP choices
are designed to do no harm, and we tend to agree with the maxim.
Democrats are already saying they can't wait for Mrs. Palin's debate
against "statesman" Joe Biden. On the other hand, the record shows
that Sarah Palin's political career is a case study in taking on the
big boys. We suspect her record of fighting the status quo was
uppermost in John McCain's decision.

IS THIS A GREAT NATION OR WHAT?

John Edwards has been removed from speaking at the Democratic National
Convention for having an extra-marital affair and lying about it.

And in his place, former President Bill Clinton will be speaking!

How do you attract 200,000 Germans to an American presidential
candidate's campaign rally in Berlin?

A. With the charisma and reputation of the candidate?

B. With a compelling political message?

C. With lots of advance advertising?

D. With the top two rock bands in Germany giving a free concert with
the American candidate coming out for a short speech between the bands?

Answer:

"D" of course.

What the American media following and fawning over Obama failed to
mention about his Berlin speech was why the crowds were really there.
95%% of them could care less about Obama or American politics. They came
to see a free concert with the German equivalents of Willy Nelson and
Madonna headlining.

Onea you Repubs send this in and collect this money for
McCain and his VP. He's gonna need it if he's gonna beat Omama.

Good question!

I asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up.
She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents,
liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her,
'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?'

She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'

'Wow...what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'You don't have to wait until
you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull
weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50.
-Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy
hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new
house.'

She thought that over for a few seconds while her Mom glared at me, then
she looked me straight in the eye and asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless
guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?'

I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.

A koala was sitting in a gum tree...... smoking a joint

When a little lizard walked past, looked up and said,
'Hey Koala! What are you doing?'

The koala said, 'Smoking a joint, come up and have some.'

So the little lizard climbed up and sat next to the koala
where they enjoyed a few hits.

After a while the little lizard said that his mouth was 'dry'
and that he was going to get a drink from the river.

The little lizard was so stoned that he leaned too far
over and fell into the river.

A crocodile saw this and swam over to the little lizard and helped him
to the side.

Then he asked the little lizard, 'What's the matter with you?'

The little lizard explained to the crocodile that he
was sitting smoking a joint with the koala in the tree,
got too stoned and then fell into the river while taking a drink.

The crocodile said that he had to check this out and walked into the
rain forest, found the tree where the koala was sitting finishing a
joint.

A guy orders a beer.

The bartender fills the mug and slides it down the bar.

It hits a blonde's boobs and splashes all over them.

The bartender goes over, retrieves the mug
and licks the beer off her boobs.

Each time the guy calls for another beer this happens.

So after his third beer,
he decides to help the bartender out.

The next time the bartender hit her boobs,
the man jumps up and starts to lick her breasts.

She decks him and kicks him where it really hurts!

He is laying on the floor moaning,
"Jeez lady ... why do you let the bartender do it?"

"Because," says the blonde,
"he has a licker license!"

Any one on the south coast better take a stroll away from the water, it
is gonna come up on land with as much as 15 feet tidal wave all the way
beyond 3 miles. I think I would refuel and stock up on survival items.
Then hit the road. I initially estimated it would make land fall between
Galveston and New Orleans, I still think that is a good prediction.
