Arms Sales to Developing Nations

In 2006, leading manufacturers in the highly competitive global arms market sought higher profits and expanded political influence in weapons sales to developing nations. Despite a 13% drop in worldwide weapons sales from 2005 to 2006, the combined sales of the United States, Russia, and Britain increased. The United States maintained its position as top arms dealer to developing nations in 2006 with $10.3 billion in weapons sales.

McCain lies again in acceptance speech

McCain claimed that Obama’s health care plan would "force small businesses to cut jobs" and would put "a bureaucrat ... between you and your doctor." In fact, the plan exempts small businesses, and those who have insurance now could keep the coverage they have.

McCain attacked Obama for voting for "corporate welfare" for oil companies. In fact, the bill Obama voted for raised taxes on oil companies by $300 million over 11 years while providing $5.8 billion in subsidies for renewable energy, energy efficiency and alternative fuels.

said oil imports send "$700 billion a year to countries that don't like us very much." But the U.S. is on track to import a total of only $536 billion worth of oil

a third of that comes from Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

promised to increase use of "wind, tide [and] solar"

his actual energy plan contains no new money for renewable energy

called for "reducing government spending and getting rid of failed programs," but

failed to cite a single program

Late-Night Jokes about Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin

"She said at her church, Governor Palin, said she asked everyone to pray for a natural gas pipeline, which she said was God's will. And today, God said, 'Hey lady, I don't deal with oil companies. That's more Satan's area.'" --Jay Leno

"Speaking of Sarah Palin, she said she's a life-long member of the National Rifle Association. Which may explain why she's in favor of shotgun weddings." --Conan O'Brien

"Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has many views. She says she's opposed to same-sex marriage. Did you know that? Yeah, Palin says everyone knows marriage isn't for gay people; it's for pregnant teenagers." --Conan O'Brien

"And how are you going to be the vice president of the United States with five kids to take care of? She's got a four-month-old of her own, she's about to become a grandmother, and she's partnered with John McCain. How many diapers can one woman possibly change?" --Jimmy Kimmel

The reality is that MLB's owners and managers all knew about juicing. They turned a blind eye to the problem because they only cared about home runs, crowded stadiums, and winning games. So why punish Bonds? If MLB needs to cleanse itself from the era of juicing, then let it get rid of all those managers and owners who looked the other way when the juicing was going on. Fire the team physicians who ignored obvious signs of steroids and human growth hormones. But if we did that, who would be left? Not many owners, and maybe not many managers and coaches? So, if MLB is not going to really clean its house, it should stop using Bonds as a scapegoat. Let him play. He wants to play. Let's see if he still can. It would be great is some team has the guts to sign Bonds this season and let him back on the field. It may be his last season. Next year he might be playing on the Leavenworth team, with prison stripes instead of pinstriped. Or he may walk out of court an innocent man, and play again.

Palin’s accusation that Obama hasn’t authored “a single major law or even a reform” in the U.S. Senate or the Illinois Senate is simply not a fair assessment. Obama has helped push through major ethics reforms in both bodies, for example.

Giuliani distorted the time line and substance of Obama’s statements about the conflict between Russia and Georgia

Huckabee told conventioneers

that Palin got more votes when she ran for mayor of Wasilla than Biden did running for presiden

Not even close. The tally: Biden, 79,754, despite withdrawing from the race after the Iowa caucuses. Palin, 909 in her 1999 race, 651 in 1996

Palin may have said “Thanks, but no thanks” on the Bridge to Nowhere

But that was a sharp turnaround from the position she took during her gubernatorial campaign

The Alaska governor avoided some of McCain’s false claims about Obama’s tax program – but her attacks still failed to give the whole story.

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess".

He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."

The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want."

Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."

According to a study called ‘Solar Generation 2008’ issued by Greenpeace and European Photovoltaic Industry Association, solar photovoltaic panels could supply electricity to more than 4 billion people worldwide by 2030 and could meet all of Europe's energy requirements, while occupying less than 1% of European lands.
