Appearing, he seems to become a regular guest, at MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani said that the McCain campaign’s tone is “just right.” “I think that John McCain is emphasizing the economy,” Giuliani went on to say. The question, of course, was aimed at the perceived negativity of the campaign. When asked whether [...]

On the October 14 edition of ABC's Good Morning America , co-host Robin Roberts did not challenge former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani when he claimed Sen. Barack Obama "wants to raise taxes," repeating a conservative charge that often goes unchallenged by the media . In fact, Obama has repeatedly said he would cut taxes for low- and middle-income families, specifically those making less than...

In the good old days of the 1960s, everyone was always scared that Black People were going to burn all the cities down. They burned a couple pretty good, understand, and then all the white people...

Those “community organizers” that Rudy Giuliani mocked at the Republican National Convention proved to be a uniting force here in Delray Beach this past weekend — a city that has twice been named an “All America City” by the National Civic League (1993 and 2001). And when Sarah Palin said that small town mayors are just [...]

On Tuesday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Harry Smith talked to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and asked about negative attacks in the campaign: "Alright, one of the things that's happened in the McCain campaign over the last couple of days is the personal attacks seem to have at least subsided or quieted down a little bit. Do you think, in the long run, this might actually have been a fatal...

I’ve gotten so used to “New York band” being synonymous with “Brooklyn band” these days that it’s almost jarring to meet a group that’s kept itself planted in Manhattan. “I tried to get an apartment in Williamsburg once,” admits Virgins frontman Donald Cumming, “but this is home, man.” And unlike so many of those bands that now [...]

Intrade.com says there's a 78% chance of Obama winning. Of course, it should be pointed out that, a year ago, Intrade predicted a Rudy Giuliani vs. Hillary Clinton election. I believe that McCain's chances fell apart because he picked Sarah...

The Third Jihad...

This year could have changed things. The G.O.P. had three urbane presidential candidates. But the class-warfare clichés took control. Rudy Giuliani disdained cosmopolitans at the Republican convention. Mitt Romney gave a speech attacking “eastern elites.” (Mitt Romney!) John McCain picked Sarah Palin. Palin is smart, politically skilled, courageous and likable. Her convention and debate performances...

Do cheer up. There is no such thing as all bad news. Every cloud has a silver lining. Most Britons are still in work and a third of them are on secure state incomes. In the words of Rudy Giuliani, the New York mayor, after 9/11, take the kids to the park, buy a pizza, see a show.

Clarion Fund, the non-profit anti-Muslim group which created Obsession and Third Jihad, claims that its “educational” efforts to make the world aware of the menace of radical Islam are non-partisan. It has to do so to maintain its 501c3. But everything this outfit does is partisan. Reader Robin McLaren notes that a Phoenix newspaper said this about a local screening of the film: Brent Lowder, a partner...

”No one ever listened themselves out of job. It takes great man to be a good listener.” ~President Calvin Coolidge http://www.calvincoolidge.us/ This is third and last time I will recommmend that Senator John McCain announce some of his cabinet members prior to being elected President of the United States of America. This would unite the Republican Party and motivate [...]
