McCain-Pawlenty Ticket?

Yesterday I told you about former Iowa Republican Congressman Jim Leach throwing his support towards Barack Obama.  Now I've found the other two moderate-at-best Republicans who have joined him.

 

Here's a surprise:  the possibility of there being a Presidential landslide is very low.

 

It's looking more like John McCain will choose Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty as his running mate, as the McCain campaign announced a press appearance for Pawlenty.  Are they showing their hand?

 

Yesterday I told you about Hillary's unused campaign strategy to paint Obama as less than fully American.  Can John McCain do what Hillary didn't?

 

Democrats have now adjusted their platform (with more government handouts) in an attempt to pander to turbos.

 

What was left of a foreclosed house in Detroit after the local hoodlums stole everything of any value sold for just $1.

 

Chicago has had the fewest number of days over 90 degrees in this decade than any other since 1930.

 

Denver is preparing for far-left protestors with a prison set up in a warehouse.  The lefties are already calling it "Gitmo On The Platte."

 

An FCC Commissioner said that the resurrection of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" could potentially mean that the government could control web content as well.  It may not be long before the government controls all media in practice, rather than just by having sympathetic reporters.

 

Here's a case of a homeowner defeating a city that was trying to seize her home using eminent domain.  Good for her.

 

Marijuana is being grown in national parks.  It's too bad it's not the government growing it—at least then they'd be producing something.

 

The Washington Post debunks three "truths" about offshore oil drilling.

 

With gas prices being the biggest issue of the Presidential campaign, which candidate is best equipped to fix the problem?  You'll have to look beyond the two major parties, because McCain and Obama are equally ignorant on solving the problem.

 

Illegal Mexicans are returning to their home country as a result of tougher workplace enforcement of new hires.  This is all it takes, folks.

 

The latest proposal for solving world hunger:  rat snacks.

 

The Chi-Coms may have won both of the Olympic gold medals in gymnastics, but they had to cheat to do it.  They'll get away with it, but this just makes girls' gymnastics even creepier.

 

Would you put bird poop on your face for smoother skin?  I wouldn't.

 

A cheated-on wife is selling the panties that her husband's mistress wore, along with the condom wrapper she found in their bed, on eBay.

 

A 20-year-old was asked to leave a mall in Kentucky for her dress being too short.  Other women were complaining that their husbands were checking her out.

 

The city of Birmingham, England issued a flyer with information about the city's recycling program that featured a picture of Birmingham's skyline.  Only problem?  The picture was of Birmingham, Alabama.
