I wonder what James Garner thinks of John McCain.

Sources: Bush advised to delay troop cuts in Iraq

Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush's top defense advisers have recommended he maintain 15 combat brigades in Iraq until the end of the year contrary to expectations that the improved security in Iraq would allow for quicker cuts, The Associated Press has learned.

Military leaders told the AP that the closely held plan would send a small Marine contingent to Afghanistan in November to replace one of two Marine units expected to head home then.

U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that the McCain family's appearance at the Twin Cities Habitat For Humanity build site on Thursday has been canceled. How anti-press is the McCain campaign? They just canceled a Habitat for Humanity PHOTO OP because it has to do with "houses"? Go figure!

getting real slow performance on the seder blog tonight. other sites are working fine.

I like Cindy more than Sarah. Draft Cindy for VP!!!

she locked up and had to reboot. I hate it when the bots have to do that mid sentence.

In "The Perfect Villain: John McCain and the Demonization of Lobbyist Jack Abramoff," Boston journalist Gary Chafetz portrays Abramoff as an innocent man who excelled in an already corrupt system and was undone by biased prosecutors, reporters and political enemies.

Although Abramoff expressed remorse Thursday, he also has spent his time in prison cooperating with a book that portrays him much differently: as a victim of Washington politics.

The book, set for publication later this month and obtained by The Associated Press, says Abramoff was pressured to plead guilty. The book blames The Washington Post and Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee whose Senate committee investigated Abramoff, for making him the fall guy.

"I never expected that I would have to go to prison," Abramoff says in the book, "until it became clear that the media could not allow this play to close without the hanging of the villain."

Cindy is right. They are equal in the amount of trust they will get from me.

when she is the poster child for what he was talking about?

I think it's more of a conversation than real interview. I had 10 questions prepared and used 2 or 3! She did most of the talking, I just strapped myself on and went along for the ride.

Thanks to eep for starting this whole snowball rolling with her original post with the link to Shannyn's site.

In So-Called Sarah Palin Sex Scandal Shocker, National Enquirer Claims Vice Presidential Nominee Had an Affair
Supermarket Tabloid Claims John McCain's Running Mate Committed Adultery with Husband's Business Partner
The latest Sarah Palin Sex Scandal to roil the Presidential campaign of John McCain is the National Enquirer report that the Governor of Alaska has had an adulterous affair with her husband's business partner. The McCain campaign went into damage control and issued a statement condemning the charges by the supermarket tabloid, whose revelations that 2004 Democratic Vice Presidential nominee John Edwards had conducted an affair with a campaign aide scuttled his political career.

The National Enquirer has a history of causing major trouble for straying politicians. It made key revelations in the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal that led to President Bill Clinton's impeachment. The revelations about Sarah Palin's adulterous affair were headlined on the cover of the recent edition of the tabloid, which promised to reveal SARAH PALIN'S DARK SECRETS.

The article currently is not on the National Enquirer's Web site. The country's #1 supermarket tabloid apparently means to make fodder out of the sexual peccadilloes of John McCain, as the Web site features an article on McCain's cheating on his first wife.

Who's the Elitist?

One of the persistent criticisms of Democrat Barack Obama is that the senator is an elitist.

But Republicans represent the working people.

So how to explain Republican first lady Laura Bush and Republican would-be first lady Cindy McCain’s outfits Tuesday night?

Vanity Fair wisely had its fashion department price it out. And it's a doozy!

Laura Bush's ensemble

Oscar de la Renta suit: $2,500
Stuart Weitzman heels: $325
Pearl stud earrings: $600–$1,500
Total: Between $3,425 and $4,325

Cindy McCain's wardrobe

Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600

Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100.

That seems a bit elitist to me! How about you

he looks like McCain, but it sounds like they are talking about someone else.

No Shame
From the Boston Globe blog ...

One of the most enduring taboos in American politics, the airing of graphic images from the September 11 attacks in a partisan context, died today. It was nearly seven years old.
The informal prohibition, which had been occasionally threatened by political ads in recent years, was pronounced dead at approximately 7:40 CST, when a video aired before delegates at the Republican National Convention included slow-motion footage of a plane striking the World Trade Center, the towers' subsequent collapse, and smoke emerging from the Pentagon.

The September 11 precedent was one of the few surviving campaign-season taboos. It is survived by direct comparisons of one's opponents to Hitler.

Obama Camp Has Now Raised More Than $10 Million Since Palin Speech
By Greg Sargent - September 4, 2008, 9:12PM
The cash keeps flowing in to the Obama campaign in the wake of Sarah Palin's speech, suggesting that whatever effect she's had on the GOP base has been duplicated on the Democratic side.

Obama spokesperson Tommy Vietor confirms that the campaign has now pulled in over $10 million since her speech -- a "one day record," Vietor says.

"I hope she gives a speech every day," Vietor joked.

Separately, the RNC reportedly raised $1 million after the speech.

second opinion....

-Web services uses XML rather than HTML for documents?

quite often. it means extended mark-up language. I guess it really helps when pages show spreadsheets.

I honestly don't know a lot about it.

I suppose it depends on the web service involved.

I think it helps with inputting information to a data base.

why do you ask? work related stuff?

I imagine one of us is expert on it.

the question is, who?

xml is really common, nothing to be afraid of.

I am no expert either. I am a transport guy, not an Aps guy.
