In the Democratic debate, Barack Obama said he was told by an Army captain that his platoon’s resources in Afghanistan were shortchanged because of the Iraq war. Seeking to turn Obama’s remarks into a political attack, Sen. John Warner (R-VA) immediately questioned the authenticity of the statement. But ABC News contacted the Army captain, who backed up Obama’s story. - TP

NEW YORK - NBC News said Tuesday it has reprimanded the employee responsible for mistakenly flashing a picture of Osama bin Laden on MSNBC as Chris Matthews talked about Barack Obama.[Wingnuts think they're funny when they say 'Osama' instead of Obama. Punch one of them in the fucking mouth when they say it and see if they think that's funny.]

Many Blacks Worry About Obama's Safety
NEW YORK (AP) - For many black Americans, it's a conversation they find hard to avoid, revisiting old fears in the light of bright new hopes.
Uh oh, Geraldo has it all figured out!
The hideous 'black geniuses'"When I saw that they were the same words that Deval Patrick, the black guy who won the Massachusetts mayor, the Massachusetts governor had used, I said to myself, it seems so premeditated. It's almost as if they went to a camp where these black geniuses got together and figured out how to beat the political system in a sense that alright, let's reference the civil rights movement, let's talk about change, it's almost formulaic,"

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Ohio had 209,400 fewer nonfarm jobs in December 2007 than it had in December 2000. This loss of 3.7 percent of Ohio’s jobs is the worst seven-year loss in state records that begin in 1939 as the Great Depression was ending.
Playing us like a violin
Now, in the midst of the surge, the Bush administration has done an about-face. Having lost the civil war, many Sunnis were suddenly desperate to switch sides — and Gen. David Petraeus was eager to oblige. The U.S. has not only added 30,000 more troops in Iraq — it has essentially bribed the opposition, arming the very Sunni militants who only months ago were waging deadly assaults on American forces. ... "The only reason anything works or anybody deals with us is because we give them money," says a young Army intelligence officer." - 'The Myth of the Surge'
And the 'peace' there is deafening
BAGHDAD (AP) The U.S. military confirms the heavily protected Green Zone in Baghdad has been hit in a rocket or mortar attack. There is still no word on damage or injuries but nearly ten rounds apparently landed in the area. It's the fourth time this week that U.S. installations have been targeted by rocket or mortar fire.

Put a drain in Florida
For the first time ever, evolution is to be taught clearly and explicitly in Florida classrooms now that the Florida Board of Education Tuesday approved a batch of new science standards that says the ”E” word. But there’s a catch: Evolution will be taught as “the Scientific Theory of Evolution.”

Were there frogs before God?
A 70-million-year-old fossil of a giant frog has been unearthed in Madagascar by a team of UK and US scientists. The creature would have been the size of a "squashed beach ball" and weighed about 4kg (9lb), the researchers said. They added that the fossil, nicknamed Beelzebufo or "frog from hell", was "strikingly different" from present-day frogs found on the island nation.[Obviously, the majority of Floridians think the fossil is only 5,000 years old.]

HAGATNA, Guam (AP) -- A B-2 stealth bomber plunged to the ground shortly after taking off from an air base in Guam on Saturday, the first time one crashed, but both pilots ejected safely, Air Force officials said. There were no injuries on the ground or damage to buildings, and no munitions were on board. Each B-2 bomber costs about $1.2 billion to build.Al's going to take your seat, Norm

LOS ANGELES - A woman who had her medical coverage canceled as she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer has been awarded more than $9 million in a case against one of California's largest health insurers. Patsy Bates, 52, a hairdresser from Lakewood, had been left with more than $129,000 in unpaid medical bills when Health Net Inc. canceled her policy in 2004. On Friday, arbitration judge Sam Cianchetti ordered Health Net to repay that amount while providing $8.4 million in punitive damages and $750,000 for emotional distress.
Ha, and I thought it was me
If you thought "Grey's Anatomy" writers invented Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS), think again. PSAS, identified and named just six years ago, remains a mysterious condition that thousands of women wish they didn't have. They are constantly on the edge of orgasm regardless of time, place or circumstance.
The Limbaugh Award
Holy smokes, can you believe the week John McCain had? I mean, it's come to the point where he's now attacking his own previously sworn testimony.
What? We'd have to re-name the award after McCain if we gave it to him three weeks in a row.
The committee wants to move on and it is proud to announce a 'new' recipient of this 'prestigious, but infamous' award for liars - given here (almost) weekly at 'done that';
Ladies and gentlemen, this week's winner is the pathetic, previously bow-tied little wingnut twirp, Tucker Carlson.
To me there's really no clearer tell-tale sign of who the weakest of the wingnut sheep are than those who constantly whine about the 'mainstream media'.
Poor John McCain. The New York Times refused to hold their story.
Little Tucker is all upset with the Times. He was railing against them and defending John McCain and stated;
I’m not flacking for McCain. I instinctively jump to the defense of anyone whose private life is violated.But of course, like all wingnuts, Little Tucker is not good at consistency.
Here's what he said about the Clintons' 'private life';
MATTHEWS: I see we’re changing the subject again. Is the question of their [the Clintons’] marriage an issue or not in this campaign?Ladies and gentlemen, that type of prevalent wingnut whining and lying hypocrisy will earn you this award every time.
CARLSON: Of course it’s an issue. [source]
Congratulations you lying little twirp(s) - You're #51!
