Pure Bush - Extra Large (640×305)
Barack Obama secured the Democratic nomination for President last night and made history by becoming the first African-American nominee to the highest office in the land, but Hillary Clinton wasn’t about to let him enjoy it.
Rather than give a gracious concession speech acknowledging her opponent’s hard won victory and begin the work of unifying the Democratic Party to defeat John McCain in November, Mrs. Clinton chose instead to take her party hostage with the veiled threat of its destruction if she doesn’t get what she wants.
In what was supposed to be a private conference call with the New York House delegation, Clinton said that if Obama offered her the job of Vice President she would accept. The details of the conference call were then quickly leaked to the press.
By announcing her acceptance of a position that has not yet been offered to her, Hillary effectively sabotaged Obama’s freedom to choose, given the realities of the American political electoral landscape, whom he thinks would best complete his ticket heading into the general election.
Wielding the cudgel of her 18 million strong constituency during her speech last night in New York, Hillary announced to Obama and the Democratic Party, “Put me on the party ticket - or else.”
Way to go, Hillary. Way to put the party and the nation ahead of your personal ambition.
A new Gallup poll is showing that Americans are not buying what Bush and McCain are shoveling. Bush and McCain are trying to convince us that engaging our enemies diplomatically is the same as Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of the Nazis. My fellow citizens, it seems, are smarter than the current administration and the Republican presidential nominee would care to think.
Large majorities of Democrats and independents, and even about half of Republicans, believe the president of the United States should meet with the leaders of countries that are considered enemies of the United States. Overall, 67% of Americans say this kind of diplomacy is a good idea.
About 6 in 10 Americans (59%) think it would be a good idea for the president of the United States to meet with the president of Iran. This includes about half of Republicans, a majority of independents, and most Democrats.
Even Republican voters are beginning to figure out that talking to our enemies is not the same as bending over for our enemies. Americans want a return to diplomacy and an end to duhplomacy. To quote Moshe Dayan, “If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.”
Americans Favor President Meeting With U.S. Enemies

How does an unsigned band, strapped for cash, go about filming a proper music video? The Get Out Clause, a local band in Manchester, have used the growing ubiquity of CCTV surveillance to provide a novel solution. Unable to afford a camera crew, the band setup in front of surveillance cameras in various locations around the city, performed their song, and then used the Freedom of Information Act to acquire the relevant video.
