THE CASE GETS CRAZIER

Now Sudanese upset with the teddy bear naming incident want the British teached executed:

TIME TO WORRY

Cyber-battles are heating up: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,313749,00.html
If that's not enough to fret about, how about a giant asteroid hitting earth? Where's Al Gore on THIS story? http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/071128-tw-apophis-lessons.html

MORE SET-UPS: Now we know it wasn't just one staged question at the CNN/GOP debate.
Michelle Malkin rounds 'em up: http://michellemalkin.com/2007/11/29/digging-out-the-cnnyoutube-plants-abortion-questioner-is-edwards-supporter/

CLINTON SET-UP

In the GOP debate last night, at least one set-up question can be linked to the Clinton campaign:
http://www.townhall.com/blog/g/d91f3cba-6a87-4686-92ce-70a16edc311b
And CNN overdid it by giving the guy more than a "usual" amount of time and follow-up.
Not a pretty sight, but what's expected when national networks grill Republicans.

THE WAR AGAINST CHRISTMAS CONTINUES

Another early battle, this time in Michigan, where the Dickens "Christmas" Festival has been renamed: http://www.wnem.com/news/14706299/detail.html

AND DON'T GIVE YOUR TEDDY BEAR THE WRONG NAME: A British teachers is charged with offending the Islamic faith: cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa/11/28/sudan.bears/index.html

FIRE SAFETY STARTS AT HOME

Just don't trim your foliage before getting the bureaucrats involved:http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-lopez28nov28,0,2699654.column?coll=la-home-center

HUCKABEE IS NOT CONSERVATIVE

So says our friend Robert Novak, author of "The Prince of Darkness":
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/25/AR2007112501547_pf.html

DON'T DRINK FROM THE PURPLE PIPE: More talk about "toilet-to-tap" drinking water, coming to Orange County, California this week... and San Diego's not out of the water cloest yet:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/27/us/27conserve.html?_r=1&ex=1196830800&en=31b07f93027&oref=slogin

ALL THEY NEED IS COUNSELING?

The Saudis think so, releasing 1,500 Al Qaeda members after they promised to be good:
http://www.nysun.com/article/67016?page_no=1 And plenty of US Presidential candidates are thinking, "Hmm.... makes sense to me".

WHY BORDER SECURITY IS CRUCIAL

Now we know more about how terrorists may have planned to tunnel into America to attack a military base: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,312901,00.html

A DISTURBING TREND

Well-to-do teens getting into gang activity to gain "respect":

GIVING CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE

Yes, there are plenty of challenges in life... yet so much for which to be thankful. To God (there, I said it!), of course. Here's how Abraham Lincoln highlighted this day:
http://www.infoplease.com/spot/tgproclamation.html Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY.. SORT OF

A new poll says most Americans are happy... but uneasy with the "direction of the country":
http://news.yahoo.com/page/election-2008-political-pulse-voters-mood Gee, sounds like
they're only telling pollsters what they absorb on the maintstream media. It's not a mystery.

ONE OF THESE DAYS... RIGHT TO THE MOON!

Now I have another reason to dislike Obama's candidacy:
blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2007/11/
sweet_blog_obama_calls_for_del.html
He wants to delay moon exploration (and beyond) to throw more money to "education"?
This will make unions happy but allow other nations to get ahead of the USA. Not smart.

OH... ABOUT OPRAH: Ms. Winfrey is going to campaign for Obama. Yikes.

ANOTHER REASON TO MISTRUST THE MEDIA

An AP photographer is suspected of aiding insurgents: www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/11/19/photographer.detained/

WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO

The next Santa Ana winds in Southern California could cause more fires... and now we know more about what didn't work last time. Can you say "red tape"? Here's the story: http://www.mercurynews.com/localnewsheadlines/ci_7503915?nclick_check=1

BLONDS MAKE MEN DUMB

More fun research to make you go "duh":http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,312136,00.html

FLY THE FRIENDLIER SKIES

Kyla Ebbert, the woman tossed off a Southwest flight for wearing "too revealing" clothing is now posing for Playboy: http://www.10news.com/news/14611993/detail.html Of course she thinks this will advance her career aspirations, wanting to become a lawyer. Uh huh.

MEXICO HAS IT RIGHT

Try getting a driver's license if you're an illegal immigrant in Mexico: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1115driverslicenses1115.html

WHAT ARE THEY SMOKING?

It's more evidence of short-attention-span America... the "Top 100 TV Icons" list needs work.
Readers of Entertainment Weekly put people like Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives) on the list but ignored Steve Allen and Sid Caesar... among others:
http://www.tvland.com/originals/50greatesttvicons/toplist1to50.jhtml

ILLEGALS REJOICE

New York is backtracking on drivers licenses for illegals but that's not stopping the nuts in San Francisco. Here's their latest idea: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/11/14/BAB9TBP5H.DTL&tsp=1

MORE CLINTON SET-UPS

The college student who was given a question to ask Hillary at a supposedly "impromptu" Q&A event now says she wasn't the only one: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/11/13/student-given-question-for-clinton-i-just-want-honesty/

NEW NATIONAL MOTTO CONTEST

The Brits are getting very creative: news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071112/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_britain_motto

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION SPIN

The defense in the latest teacher-student romantic romp may be this:

COMING SOON: ISLAMIC CAR?

Complete with a compass pointing to Mecca: http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=/ForeignBureaus/archive/200711/INT20071112a.html

PRIVACY REDEFINED

Uh oh... this isn't a good development: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071111/D8SRJ1DO0.html

BUSH THE WORST?

So says a new CNN poll: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/ Well, it's not that simple. History will be the judge, years from now. Besides, how can pollsters expect Americans to know, considering many people think "ancient history"is last Tuesday?

AIRPORT SECURITY PROBLEMS... AGAIN

This time the staffing isn't so "Ideal":http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,309337,00.html
Authorities nab illegals who were working at O'Hare airport. For more about airline security, our friend (and frequent guest expert) Charles Sleppian reports here: www.frac.com

KEEPING SCORE

As some Christian conservatives talk about supporting a "third party" candidate (a sure way for the OTHER side to win), some new alignments are happening. Paul Weyrich, leading movement guru is supporting Mitt Romney... so is Bob Jones III....and now Pat Robertson announces he's for Rudy: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,308997,00.html
The debate in evangelical circles will now get much more interesting.

ILLEGAL TRACKING UPDATE

BORDER STILL OPEN

A new report says we still have LOTS of work to do:http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/05/border.security/index.html

TIME TO WORRY, DEPT.

Keeping an eye on Pakistan: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,308022,00.html This is the most important story of the day (and beyond) but media services seem more interested in other things, including obsessing over Al Gore: http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200711/CUL20071105b.html One of the dumbest things I've seen on TV lately: NBC sportscasters doing the half time show by candlelight... so we'd all know how "sensitive" they are to "global warming".

TEACHERS GONE BAD... WITH A TWIST

The latest adult-messing-with-a-kid is in jail, and the 13 year old is in Mexico... he's an illegal immigrant: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307941,00.html I can hear the defense now: Your honor, I was just trying to return the undocumented alien to his country of origin.

OBAMA THE NAIVE

Now he claims he could make the Iranian leaders like us after all:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307516,00.html

IS OUR CHILDREN LEARNING, DEPT.

Apparently some wrong ideas, in the latest chapter of "Teachers Gone Bad". This time the "educator" is 25... and the "love interest" 13: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307253,00.html

WHO'S ON TOP?

Now the complete list of the most influential conservatives and liberals:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/exclusions/uselection/nosplit/listintro.xml
Now that we've had time to review the list, we're realizing how subjective the choices are. For example: Laura Ingraham at #15? On the Libs list that's where George Soros is. Let's see, who really has more tangible clout. Egads.

FLY THE FRIENDLY (SNOOZING) SKIES

A new report highlights more scary moments in the air:
