Republicans Mock 'Temple of Obama'

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:42:38 GMT

clipped by: reimers

Republicans are mocking Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's plans for his big speech tonight at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Obama, the first African-American to lead a major party ticket, will formally accept the Democratic nomination from an elaborate stage at Invesco Field at Mile High, the Denver stadium where the Broncos football team plays. An estimated 75,000 people will be in attendance.

Some Republicans have dubbed the setting -- complete with its Greek-styled columns -- the "Temple of Obama," suggesting it's symbolic of a man who is more of a celebrity than a political leader.

On its Web site, the Republican National Committee runs a feature about Obama called "Audacity Watch," which includes a link to an unflattering tabloid article about the "Obama temple."

The Web site for the campaign of presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain promotes a mocking video about Obama, called, "The One -- Road to Denver."

Jennifer Aniston Brushes Her Teeth in the Shower

On the eve of Al Gore's Live Earth gigs in July 2007, Jennifer Aniston said that because every two minutes of showering uses as much water as an African person has for an entire day, she restricts herself to a three minute shower (why fuck just one African's day up?). Also, she pointed out that she brushes her teeth in the shower to save on water

MSNBC Infighting

First it was Brokaw vs. Olbermann/Matthews. Then it was Olbermann vs. Scarbourough. The next morning it was Scarbourough vs. Shuster. Last night it was Olbermann vs. Matthews. Now the NY Post says Olbermann is trying to ban Brokaw from MSNBC.

can this infighting all be traced to the Maddow hiring? Olbermann said he had something to do with it, and are the Abrams loyalists (if such a thing exists, I have no idea) mad at Olbermann for ousting Abrams to replace him with a progressive voice?

Keith Olbermann is trying to ban Tom Brokaw from MSNBC

In other MSNBC-related tension, Page Six reports that Keith Olbermann is trying to ban Tom Brokaw from the network over claims he's made about the fine line Olbermann and Matthews walk as anchor-commentators:

Insiders say Olbermann is pushing to have Brokaw banned from the network and is also refusing to have centrist Time magazine columnist Mike Murphy on his show.

"The idea of anyone trying to ban Tom Brokaw is ludicrous," said one MSNBC-er. Brokaw was on MSNBC for an hour yesterday afternoon. Murphy, who was bumped from Olbermann's show on Monday night, told us, "They told me technical problems and I have no reason not to believe them."

Michelle Obama gave a blockbuster speech at the convention in Denver.

Criminals dumping weak US dollar for euro

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:50:25 GMT

Clip Source: news.yahoo.com

The weakened US dollar has fallen out of favor with organized crime groups to pay for drug shipments or to settle scores, a Canadian government report said Friday.

And if the greenback continues its slide in 2008, as expected, more and more criminals are likely to exchange euros for illicit goods, said Criminal Intelligence Service Canada in its annual report.

"The US dollar weakened significantly against other major currencies in 2007 and according to some economists, is expected to depreciate further in 2008," said the report.

"As a consequence, other currencies -- particularly the euro -- are poised to weaken the US dollar's dominance as the currency of choice for international remittances and payments," it said.

"This trend could also drive an increase in observed instances of bulk-cash transfers denominated in currencies other than Canadian and US dollars," the report added.
