Our Friends the Russians...
Madame Secretary?

GMA: Bill Ayers Interview
Here are some nuggets...
"It's not terrorism because it doesn't target people, to kill or injure," AyersRight... So bombing the Pentagon and Capitol and 1 PP in NYC was just for s**ts and giggles...
insisted
He added, "I don't buy the idea that guilt by association should have any partRight... So then it is ok that Ayers and Obama were pals and Obama went to Rev. Wright's racist church for 20 years...
of our politics," he said.
"Frankly, I don't think we did enough, just as today I don't' think we've doneBack in the past he said something similar. They wish they did more bombings... Nice. Today' of course, he calls for nonviolent resistance... For those of us who think that his 'revolution' is happening because his Manchurian candidate is in power, well then, he's won...
enough to stop these wars," he said.
Despite Obama's attempt to portray their relationship as a distant one, Ayers,Family friend huh? Interesting... I seem to consider family friends close...
in a new afterward to his book "Fugitive Days," describes Obama as a "neighbor
and family friend."
He added, echoing a phrase that Obama used to describe Ayers, "I am a guy aroundThere seem to be a LOT of shady people in that neighborhood...
the neighborhood."
Bottom line, Ayers is not remorseful for his bombings in the past and he feels that the right wing blogosphere and the GOP campaign was false in their accusations... Yeah, right...

Change You Can Believe In?
Roll Call reports that Joe Biden has asked Ron Klain, Al Gore's former chief of staff, to serve in the same position for him.Wow... So, I guess 'Change You Can Believe In' means hiring all former Clinton Administration staff...
The very same Clinton administration who brought us the proliferation of Al Qaeda and 9/11... Sounds great! Eh, but the slackers are getting free stuff!

Senate Watch - GA Senate Race
Senate Watch - AK Senate Race
Ted Stevens, the felonious Republican senator from Alaska who refuses to give up his seat or acknowledge that he was convicted, continues to lead Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich by 3,257 votes -- 106,594 to 103,337 votes for the challenger.
But six days after the polls closed, more than 90,000 ballots have not been counted.
That means nearly 29% of the vote in the race has yet to be tallied.
Senate Watch... MN Senate Race
There are worries about what's up in that Minnesota Senate race where Republican incumbent Norm Coleman was ahead of Democrat Al Franken by 725 votes the morning after the election.
But Franken has narrowed the gap to about 200 even though a recount is not yet underway. That is because election officials are correcting supposed typos in how the numbers were reported. Those corrections have added 435 votes to Franken while taking away 69 from Coleman, and virtually all of Franken's new votes came from just three of the more than 4,100 precincts.
The campaigns are also negotiating ballot security standards after an unsuccessful challenge by Coleman to halt the counting of 32 absentee ballots that were supposedly left for days in the trunk of an election official's car.
Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty says, "These changes seem to disproportionally — overwhelmingly favor Al Franken."
Godless Holidays?
But the purchase of advertising space for the means of calling for a 'godless' holiday season is getting worrisome...
The ads ask commuters, “Why believe in a god?” and encourages them to “Just be good for goodness sake.”... “Morality doesn’t come from religion. It’s a set of values based on empathy, fairness, and experience – and these all happen to be the essence of the humanist worldview.”
I disagree... Morality does come from a fundamental understanding of religion and the purpose and dignity of all life... As religion is pushed further and further away, you see less emphasis on the dignity of life... We see that with our soon-to-be-President...
