America needs some serious help, especially those religious freak who think the Lord will take care of everything. That is absurd.

Obama supporters in Villa Park found handwritten death threats in their mailboxes. The letter reads:

Get the Obama signs off your property—now. Failure to obey this order will result in the immediate death of all family members.

This is crazy!

Fifteen days before the election, New York Times finds that:

Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, 44, Mr. McCain’s running mate, has released no medical information.

Read the entire piece for detailed information on John McCain’s history of melanoma.

Is anyone else as astound as I am with Paolo? According to Asia’s little introduction, he has been singing for quite a while, probably at the same time as Elvis Phuong, Thanh Lan or Tuan Ngoc, yet I have hardly heard of him. I remember seeing him in a few Asia videos even though his appearances were brief or unannounced. Asia finally puts him on the spot light next to Thanh Lan on its latest video Asia 59 – Bon Mua 2. He has a great voice as well as a great charisma of his own. I keep rewinding back to the beginning segment of “Delilah” to see him does his karate to the beat. The man is simply awesome.

Kansas City Star:

Despite his age and previous health problems, McCain chose a vice presidential candidate who is so clearly unqualified for high office that the thought of her stepping into the presidency is frightening.

That irresponsible decision casts serious doubt on McCain’s judgment at this point in his political career. And over the past eight years, Americans have come to know, all too well, the high price of carelessness and ineptitude in the White House.

Michigan Chronicle

Obama, not yet in the U.S. Senate, then opposed the war at rallies in Illinois, calling it a “dumb war.” If a little-known senator without the so-called experience Washington lawmakers are always rushing to tout as a credential, could get it right on Iraq and the self-acclaimed veteran senators like McCain got it wrong, it shows us that good judgment is lacking inside the Beltway.

Times Record:

Electing Barack Obama would demonstrate that America is better than the way our government has conducted the people’s business during the last eight years. It would repudiate outside claims that this nation has become a hypocritical, floundering empire and affirm that we remain a civilization founded on opportunity, equality and each person’s freedom to fulfill his or her promise.

McCain served our parents well. Obama will serve our children better.

Chicago Sun-Times:

Sen. McCain is an American hero. His courage as a prisoner of war and his 26 years on Capitol Hill command our respect. Anybody who happened to notice him struggle to shake hands with moderator Bob Schieffer at the end of the third debate had to be moved.

But somewhere along the line, McCain stopped being McCain. The maverick who always thought for himself turned his thinking over to others. He cared too much about winning.

He reversed his position on major social issues to curry favor with the Republican base. He pulled silly surprises from a hat, such as “suspending” his campaign. Most egregiously for a man of advanced age who knew how important this decision could be, he chose the unqualified Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice president.

Lawrence Lessig gives an informative presentation on why he supported Barack over Hillary. He broke down his talk into three factors: character, integrity, and what each candidate would do. The slideshow is a bit painful to watch, but the content is rewarding.

Some conservatives see Collin Powell’s endorsement for Obama is a black thang. When an old white man supports another white man, no one questioned it’s the white thang.
