Why Air America Went Bankrupt

Because 90 major American companies refused to do any advertising during the liberal radio network’s broadcasts according to this leaked memo. Of course, to the left this represents a massive conspiracy between big business, conservative talk radio and Karl Rove, but in reality it probably has more to do with companies not wanting to advertise on radio shows where hosts crack jokes about assassinating the President (among other nasty examples of political rhetoric). Liberals will probably respond to that by saying that Rush Limbaugh, etc. are every bit as bad as the Air America folks. Something to which I respond: No, they’re not. Rush Limbaugh certainly has his moments. ...

GOP maestro Rove orchestrates a doozy of a strategyWith polls showing GOP candidates flagging in key congressional races, White House strategist Karl Rove is glad-handing in tight districts and exerting political influence to help Republicans maintain control of Congress. BY TOM HAMBURGER AND PETER WALLSTEN Los Angeles Times Service BUFFALO, N.Y. - During a whirlwind, five-hour trip to bolster an endangered GOP congressman's reelection prospects, White House political guru Karl Rove last week delivered a fiery speech to 500 party activists, then shook every available hand and posed for snapshots like a rock star. He toured suburbs recently trashed by a snowstorm. He also found time to ...

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Shoppers in October cooled their spending after big splurges during the previous month, marking a pause before the start of the all-important holiday season. Department stores from Nordstrom Inc. (JWN) to Kohl's Corp. (KSS) rang up big sales of fall fashions as brisk temperatures stoked demand for coats, sweaters, leggings and other cold-weather gear. Elsewhere in the mall, however, fortunes were mixed, with specialty stores such as Gap Inc. (GPS) and AnnTaylor Stores Corp. (ANN) missing forecasts. Gains at discounters also were less robust, as many faced more difficult comparisons with a year earlier. "Put it all together and you have a decent picture," ...

In a stunning and historic trip under the utmost secrecy, a delegation of families of fallen U.S. troops have traveled to Iraq to counter critics of the war effort, just days before the Nov. 7 midterm elections. The delegation of “Gold Star Families” agreed to provide the Sacramento Union with an exclusive account of their trip to Iraq based on the assurance that news of their mission would not be published until they had safely left Amman, Jordan. So secret is their trip that even members of the Bush Administration were kept in the dark about their planned activities. They’ve come to Iraq from cities throughout America as part of a 12-person delegation in a history-making ...
California shaping up as big win for GOP - Republicans in California are poised to have their most victorious Election Day

LOS ANGELES — Republicans in California are poised to have their most victorious Election Day in statewide offices in over a decade, led by a popular incumbent governor whom Democrats had written off six months ago. Of the seven statewide offices up for grabs, two are all but certain to go to Republicans, according to a Field Poll released Thursday. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger leads his Democratic challenger by roughly 16 points. The idea that the rest of the country may see a blue wave on Tuesday, while one of the most solidly Democratic states in the country may see but a dab of foam, is especially remarkable since just four years ago not a single Republican held a state office ...

Some Democrats Cross Party Lines Over Development By Nikita Stewart Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, November 4, 2006; Page B04 Some members of the Democratic Party are trying to influence future neighborhood development by backing the Republican candidate over Democrat Mary M. Cheh in Tuesday's election for the Ward 3 D.C. Council seat. Cheh, a law professor at George Washington University, won the Democratic primary in September with 44 percent of the vote in a nine-way race. But in recent weeks, Republican Theresa Conroy has been endorsed by a group of Democrats who say they like her stance on development in the ward and fear that Cheh does not know enough about the community. ...

JERUSALEM – Everybody has an opinion about next Tuesday's midterm congressional election in the U.S. – including senior terrorist leaders interviewed by WND who say they hope Americans sweep the Democrats into power because of the party's position on withdrawing from Iraq, a move, as they see it, that ensures victory for the worldwide Islamic resistance. The terrorists told WorldNetDaily an electoral win for the Democrats would prove to them Americans are "tired." They rejected statements from some prominent Democrats in the U.S. that a withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency, explaining an evacuation would prove resistance works and would compel jihadists to ...

Last month's gain in employment followed increases of 148,000 in September and 230,000 in August, both higher than previously reported, the Labor Department said today in Washington. The jobless rate fell to 4.4 percent from 4.6 percent the previous month. The revisions for the prior two months added 139,000 jobs to payroll growth, and come after the government in October said the economy gained 810,000 ...

November 3, 2006 U.S. Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Guide By WILLIAM J. BROAD Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who said they hoped to “leverage the Internet” to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein. But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom ...

NYT and IAEA slam Bush in pre-election meaneuver Not for the first time, the IAEA is teaming up with the New York Times to embarrass Bush on the even of an election. I seem to recall that the International Atomic Energy Agency (a United Nations Agency known by the acronymn “IAEA”) had previously tried an election eve gambit (also with the cooperation of the NYT) . Specifically, the IAEA claimed that negligence on the part of the US led to the looting of tons of high explosive in Iraq. Supposedly, under US guard, these explosives had gone missing. The Pentagon was later able to deflate this “expose” by showing that the Hussein regime had already moved this stockpile of ...

Economy slowing; recession in 2007? WASHINGTON — There is little doubt the economy is slowing. What is unclear is how long the decline will last or how deep it will be. The latest evidence of a slowing economy came Wednesday in reports showing a dip in the rate of growth in the manufacturing sector and a further decline in housing construction. Also on Wednesday, Merrill Lynch warned clients that its "recession-risk indicator" is now pointing to a 51 percent chance of a recession in the next year, the highest such odds since the last recession in 2001. The indicator has only twice hit the 51 percent line without being followed by a recession, Merrill Lynch chief North ...

Now, back to the midterm elections ... Analysts place the average midterm loss for the party in the White House at around 15 to 44 seats, depending on which elections are counted – only elected presidents, midterm elections since the Civil War, midterm elections since World War II, comparable-sized congresses, first and second midterm elections and so on. The average first midterm election loss for every elected president since 1914 is 27 House seats and three Senate seats. The average sixth-year midterm election, like this year, is much worse for the president's party, which typically loses 34 seats in the House and six seats in the Senate. This makes the average loss in two ...

HILLIARD, Ohio: First lady Laura Bush cautioned Wednesday that Americans discussing the war in Iraq — especially politicians — should be careful what they say because other countries are paying attention. "The right to have these conversations is part of what makes our country great and our democracy strong. We must be mindful that people around the world are listening to these discussions," Laura Bush said at a suburban Columbus recreation center during a campaign appearance with Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce. "Responsible candidates understand that the men and women of our military are risking their lives for us, and that we must conduct our debate here at home ...

Gretchen Wilson, best known for her hit song "Red Neck Woman," signed autographs and met with troops from the 36th Engineer Brigade. The soldiers are preparing to head out for a year long deployment to Iraq. Specialist Joseph Vezina said, "Every time you get an actor or entertainer to pass through and welcome and give you well wishes and support, it makes it a little more worth while. It reminds us of what our job is for." Soldier Chad Hyatt said, "It was something to look forward to, to enjoy and take with us. It’s really nice for her ...

BOSTON -- The mother of a local Marine who was killed in Iraq spoke out Tuesday about the comments that Sen. John Kerry made about U.S. troops and education. NewsCenter 5's Jim Boyd reported Tuesday that while talking to a group of students in California, Kerry urged them to study hard or else they can "get stuck in Iraq." "I am very disturbed. I am very insulted and very sad that he doesn't understand how highly educated and well trained our military men and women are," said Debra Booth, whose son was killed in Iraq. Second Lt. Joshua Booth died on Oct. 17. His mother said that what makes Kerry's words so offensive is that they come one day after Kerry called the ...

During a whirlwind five-hour trip to bolster an endangered GOP congressman's reelection prospects, White House political guru Karl Rove last week delivered a fiery speech to 500 party activists, then shook every available hand and posed for snapshots like a rock star. He toured suburbs recently trashed by a snowstorm. He also found time to huddle with local strategists. But the most significant element of Rove's effort to help four-term Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds keep his job may have occurred behind closed doors, when the White House strategist met with a federal disaster relief official contemplating how to respond to the storm. Four days later, Reynolds announced that President Bush would ...

Candidate Daniel Rosen has a proposition: Vote for him, and he'll vote for you. As in, he'll vote for you, like some kind of democratic, labor-saving automaton. Rosen's pitch to the people of Nevada's Second Congressional District is that if they send him to Washington in November, he'll vote exactly the way his constituents tell him to. Really. Each of the district's 358,000 registered voters would be able to log in to a secure Web site and record their preference for every piece of legislation that comes before Congress. Rosen has heard all the objections before. Fraud? When people register on the site, their identity is verified against official voter rolls. Hackers? Anyone can examine ...

Moving quickly to implement the bill signed by President Bush this week that authorizes military trials of enemy combatants, the administration has formally notified the U.S. District Court here that it no longer has jurisdiction to consider hundreds of habeas corpus petitions filed by inmates at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba. In a notice dated Wednesday, the Justice Department listed 196 pending habeas cases, some of which cover groups of detainees. The new Military Commissions Act (MCA), it said, provides that "no court, justice, or judge" can consider those petitions or other actions related to treatment or imprisonment filed by anyone designated as an enemy combatant, now ...
