Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for Mr. McCain, said, “Instead of apologizing to small-town Americans for dismissing their values, Barack Obama arrogantly tried to spin his way out of his outrageous San Francisco remarks.”
“You can’t be more out of touch than that,” he added.

“Security forces arrested on Saturday afternoon a senior al-Qaeda member with two of his companions, who were with him in the same car, at the highway near the Iraqi – Jordanian borders (10 km northwest of al-Rotba city, al-Anbar province),” Major Sabar al-Dulaimi told Aswar al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI).
“The detainee’s name is Ali Homadi Farhan, and he is a senior al-Qaeda member, and supervises the organization’s operations at the western area of Iraq,” he added.

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - An author for the Lonely Planet travel guidebook series has claimed that he plagiarized and made up large sections of his books, an Australian newspaper reported on Sunday.
Author Thomas Kohnstamm told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper he had worked on more than a dozen books for Lonely Planet, including their titles on Brazil, Colombia, the Caribbean, South America, Venezuela and Chile.
The Lonely Planet guidebooks sell more than six million copies a year.
The Sunday Telegraph said Kohnstamm also claims in his new book “Do Travel Writers Go To Hell?” that he accepted free travel, contravening company policy.
He said in one case he had not even visited the country he wrote about.
“They didn’t pay me enough to go to Colombia. I wrote the book in San Francisco. I got the information from a chick I was dating — an intern at the Colombian consulate,” the newspaper quoted Kohnstamm as saying.
Lonely Planet said it had reviewed Kohnstamm’s guidebooks but had not found any inaccuracies in them, the Sunday Telegraph said.

Coalition Forces capture suspected Iranian Special Groups criminal
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces detained a suspected Iranian-trained Special Groups weapons facilitator Saturday during operations northeast of Baghdad.
The targeted individual allegedly carried out attacks against Coalition forces and Iraqi citizens.
Coalition forces entered the targeted building where they secured the area and detained the suspect without incident. Coalition forces also confiscated a heavy weapon (machine gun) and a sniper rifle.
“Coalition forces will continue to pursue and bring to justice Special Groups members and other criminal elements that refuse to comply with the rule of law,” said Cmdr. Scott Rye, MNF-I spokesman.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - The death toll from a bomb blast at a mosque in southern Iran on Saturday had risen to at least 10 and more than 160 were wounded, Iranian Press TV state television reported on Sunday.
On Saturday, Iranian media reported at least nine people had been killed and that more than 100 were wounded.
Press TV, Iran’s English-language satellite station, said no one had claimed responsibility yet for the bombing.

Baghdad, Apr 13, (VOI) – An Iraqi army force arrested al-Qaeda leader in the southern Iraq province of Basra on Sunday, the Iraqi defense ministry said.
“A force from the 50th Brigade’s 14th Division of the Iraqi army captured the man known as Abu Huzhayfa, the leader of the al-Qaeda Organization in the area of Abu al-Khasib, Basra province, (590 km south of Baghdad) upon intelligence tips that led to his hideout,” Maj. General Muhammad al-Aaskari, the ministry’s defense advisor, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI) by telephone.
“Abu Huzhyfa, who is under investigative custody, confessed to having led the al-Qaeda network’s operations of killings and forced relocations of Basra residents and Iraqi security forces,” said Aaskari.
“The army forces in Basra had information on his location and moves and they are about to capture his aides and followers,” he noted.
Aaskari said the defense ministry would announce further information about Abu Huzhayfa, not giving more details about his original name.

“A Clinton comeback was looking far-fetched” until “Midwesterners “cling to guns or religion” because they are “bitter” about their economic status.”
Political insiders differed on whether Obama’s comments, which came to light Friday, would become a full-blown political disaster that could prompt party leaders to try to steer the nomination to Clinton even though Obama has more pledged delegates. Clinton supporters were eagerly hoping so.
They handed out “I’m not bitter” stickers in North Carolina, and held a conference call of Pennsylvania mayors to denounce the Illinois senator. In Indiana, Clinton did the work herself, telling plant workers in Indianapolis that Obama’s comments were “elitist and out of touch.”

Yeah. Thats why I typed what I did.
April 12th, 2008 at 9:43 amOh, Kurt’s aluminum can tip made me think of something to pass on to Dollard “Moms” (and “Dads”) …
In the last couple years I have discovered kid’s “consignment” shops (second-hand) in my area. Some you take in the clothing/footwear and they give you the money after it’s sold, and usually only take certain seasonal things in at certain off-season times of the year … But recently I found one that you take the clothing in to and they pick out what they want and make you an offer right then … and they take all seasonal clothing year `round.
My youngest daughter grows out of things so quickly that a lot of stuff is very gently worn, and they scoop those right up. With the older girls I always just handed down their out-grown things to younger nieces. But have no one with my Lizzie Rose … So, now I can make a couple bucks on what was typically handed off for free. I’ve also found some treasures within the stores for Liz, but you gotta watch/compare prices to those of brand new sitting on store clearance racks to see if it’s really a bargain.
Okay … Done with the “homemaker” tip …
Back to “Bouncing Betties” and rattle snakes.
April 12th, 2008 at 9:50 amDefinition of a “Bouncing Betty” (Hey I knew on in HS.
)
April 12th, 2008 at 11:06 amBounding - Usually buried with only a small part of the igniter protruding from the ground, these mines are pressure or tripwire activated. You may also hear this type of mine referred to as a “Bouncing Betty.” When activated, the igniter sets off a propelling charge, lifting the mine about 1 meter into the air. The mine then ignites a main charge, causing injury to a person’s head and chest.

” I’m pretty disgusted and bitter my own self at having to choose between an open-borders guy and a couple of socialists, one with racism thrown in for good measure. … Once again, you’re not supposed to count on your family or your faith, you’re supposed to count on your government. He simply cannot fathom the concept that people do not believe this is the proper role of government, that nobody in their right mind wants to count on government for their needs and wants. … This is the real Barack Obama, believe it. People counting on their families and God is not appropriate; these things are merely the refuge of the bitter. This is why his chosen church and his mentor/married-him/baptized-his-kids pastor are not about God but about race and class–because that’s all he believes in. … There is nothing in his world but class structure and how he can alter it so that we’re all supposedly on the same basis, which in his mind means lack of inequity but in reality will result in nothing but lack of opportunity, lack of will, lack of ambition, lack of work, lack of achievement.”
Yeah … `bout covers it … yep.
I’ve seen the following quote credited to both Goldwater and Ford:

April 13th, 2008 at 10:27 amI clicked on the Canook and Brit link of their treatment of their fallen Vets and see the Brits treatments of their Vets since the Falklands hasn’t changed much. That last line of Kiplings, Tommy, will bite them in the ass. It’s something like:”Tommy aint a bloomin fool..you bet that Tommy sees.”
I happened to serve with a few Canadians that were with our services in Vietnam and always think of their optmisim that at times we lacked. Also, now that our dollar is in the craper, thank the Canooks for shopping across the border.
April 13th, 2008 at 11:26 amAs loyal and still connected as we are to our Brit cousins, I put more stock in our Canadian and Aussie kin for their “New World” type roots (such as ours), and less of the “Jolly Old” mentality. I like to think of them as more of “half-brothers” than cousins.
Besides, I like their accents mo`better …
Yes, Canucks have an accent (they don’t think they do) … Listen to their “ou”s …
April 13th, 2008 at 11:48 amI agree with the Canadians and Australians being more like half brothers than cousins.
