"Palin is mediocre, again, regurgitating talking points mechanically, not thinking.
Palin's just babbling. I am truly embarrassed for her. I can't watch this train wreck."

You know it's bad when one of the most blatant apologists for the repugicans loses the hardon they have for all things neo-con.

Man flies personal jet wing across English Channel
Yves Rossy jumped out of a plane over Calais, France today and flew his jet-propelled wing across the English Channel. After crossing the water, he released his parachute and floated safely to the ground. From the Associated Press: Backed by a gentle breeze, Rossy crossed the Channel in 13 minutes, averaging 125 miles per hour. In a final flourish, he did a figure eight as he came over England, although the wind blew him away from his planned landing spot next to the lighthouse.
"It was perfect. Blue sky, sunny, no clouds, perfect conditions," the Swiss pilot said after touching down in an adjacent field. He said he wanted to show, "it is possible to fly, a little bit, like a bird."
Jack Cafferty, what do really think?

No-name storm lands with rain, gusts in Carolinas
We don't even get a name ... phooey!
A storm that never quite gained tropical strength or a name over the Atlantic blew ashore with drenching rain Friday in the Carolinas, knocking out power and sending rain, gusty winds and high surf far up the Atlantic seaboard.
Although the center of the storm was well to the south, forecasters said it was so large that rain and some wind would be felt in the Northeast. Small craft advisories, meaning strong winds or gusts and choppy seas, were issued from Savannah, Ga., to Maine.
"Much of the winds have diminished," said meteorologist Dave Loewenthal at the National Weather Service in Wilmington. "It's a very large system. It goes all up and down the eastern seaboard."
Loewenthal said the system's center would "continue west throughout the day and then make a more northerly track along the Appalachians. You can have a lot of rain on the east side of the mountains, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem."
The storm was expected to continue bringing coastal flooding, rip currents and high surf to the mid-Atlantic shore over the weekend.
Forecasters turned their attention to Tropical Storm Kyle in the open Atlantic, south of Bermuda. The National Hurricane Center said Kyle could become a hurricane by Saturday as it moved north.
At 8 a.m., Kyle was located about 500 miles south-southwest of Bermuda and moving north-northwest near 13 mph with top sustained winds near 60 mph. Tropical storm force winds extended out from the center up to 160 miles, mainly east of the center.
A tropical storm watch was in effect for Bermuda.
In the Carolinas, the storm knocked out power to about 3,400 utility customers but few serious problems were reported.
A dozen houses were condemned in the Outer Banks town of Nags Head when waves exposed septic tanks, WRAL-TV reported. Officials said wind-driven tides flooded NC Highway 12 at times on Hatteras Island.
Forecasters said the storm lacked the ingredients of a tropical system, but had looked enough like one that the National Hurricane Center sent aircraft into it several times to explore.
"This was very close to a tropical system," said Brandon Vincent of the National Weather Service office in Raleigh. "Before it came inland, it had a pretty impressive radar impression that was reminiscent of a tropical storm."
By 9 a.m. Friday, the storm center was about 70 miles inland from Myrtle Beach, S.C., near the North Carolina border and had weakened, said Brandon Vincent of the National Weather Service office in Raleigh.
Vincent said the storm would bring up to 2 inches of rain to some parts of the Carolinas after setting a daily record of 4.16 inches in Wilmington on Thursday. Winds would gust up to 30 mph in the western Piedmont area before dying out in the afternoon.
"We'll see some breezy conditions," he said. "No big deal, just a little breezy."
Paul McCartney performs for thousands in Tel Aviv
After a 43-year wait, Paul McCartney performed his first concert in Israel on Thursday, kicking it off with the familiar Beatles' song "Hello, Goodbye" to the joy of tens of thousands of cheering fans. McCartney billed the concert "Friendship First," saying he's on a mission of peace for Israel and the Palestinians.
Singing "Give Peace a Chance," he stopped and let the audience sing the chorus alone. "Here tonight you sang it, you want it," the 66-year-old rocker said. He dedicated the song to his fellow Beatle, John Lennon, who was killed in New York in 1980.
Fireworks lit the sky as McCartney sang "Live and Let Die."
A crowd made up of Israelis of all ages, estimated at 40,000, cheered as McCartney performed outdoors in Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park on a warm late summer night. Some wore T-shirts with the slogan, "I love Paul."
He greeted the crowd with a mixture of English and Hebrew, wishing them "shana tova," happy new year, ahead of next week's Jewish new year holiday. He added "Ramadan kareem" in Arabic, a greeting to Muslims, who are marking their holy month.
His repertoire included many Beatles hits, as well as songs from his post-Beatles group, Wings. The songs included "Yesterday," "Back in the USSR," "Hey Jude" and "Jet." He added two encores.
Nadav Erez, 31, from the central Israeli city of Rishon Lezion, danced enthusiastically throughout the concert.
"He should have come here long ago, he should have come again and again, he should come again and again and again," Erez said.
The Beatles had been scheduled to perform in 1965. But in one of the country's most widely repeated tales, an Israeli official supposedly called off the concert for fear it would corrupt the nation's youth. Only in recent weeks, it turns out the story may not have been true.
So pervasive is this story that Israel's ambassador in London, Ron Prosor, sent a letter to McCartney and Ringo Starr, the two surviving Beatles, to express regret over the matter.
"Israel missed a chance to learn from the most influential musicians of the decade, and the Beatles missed an opportunity to reach out to one of the most passionate audiences in the world," he wrote. He invited them to play during this year's celebrations marking Israel's 60th anniversary.
When McCartney announced plans for Thursday's concert, he acknowledged the brouhaha, saying he was finally coming "43 years after being banned by the Israeli government." He promised to give fans "the night they have been waiting decades for."
Ahead of the concert, newspaper columnist Yossi Sarid, son of the Israeli official who allegedly banned the Beatles, went on a campaign to clear his father's name. Sarid claimed his father had nothing to do with the decision, and that it involved a more mundane feud between two Israeli concert promoters.
Sarid, reached ahead of the concert, said he hadn't heard from McCartney's people and had no plans to attend. "The tickets are too expensive," he said.
A small group of Palestinians had urged McCartney to call off the show, saying it was supporting the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. A radical Muslim preacher in Lebanon also called on McCartney to cancel the show.
During a visit to the biblical town of Bethlehem on Wednesday, McCartney brushed off the criticism.
"I get criticized everywhere I go, but I don't listen to them," McCartney said. "I'm bringing a message of peace, and I think that's what the region needs."
October Surprise
This financial raping of the world was planned
This IS the "October Surprise" we have been talking about, folks.
It has been planned for years - ever since Prescott Bush fell in love with Mussolini and Hitler.
And yes, my friends ... they plan to rob us blind.
The proof is call-girl Ashley Alexander Dupre.
Ashley, or "Kristin" has no particular connection to the government plan to dump over a trillion dollars of taxpayer debt notes on Wall Street in order to reward Wall Street for it's irresponsible behaviour.
She just happened to be the pawn sacrificed to take down New York governor Eliot Spitzer, who as governor, and previously as Attorney General of New York was one of the only mature adults in government willing to take on the corporate criminals on Wall Street during a time when the 'Federal government' (read cabal), had abdicated its responsibilities and partnered with the crooks to rape us.
Spitzer was unraveling the bailout plot, so he had to be silenced.
Only a moron would believe that random bank audits led to his exposure as a serial "John" as they claim.
Alan Dershowitz shows the overwhelming doubt in The Entrapment of Eliot.
He was under intense surveillance - the sort that the shrub won't allow to be reviewed by the courts.
There are no criminal charges against Spitzer as of yet (and there won't be) ... the evidence could not be presented in court as it was a result of surveillance without a warrant.
A month before he was taken down, Eliot Spitzer wrote a Feb. 14, 2008 Op-Ed for the New York Times titled Predatory Lenders' Partner in Crime How the Bush Administration Stopped the States From Stepping In to Help Consumers in which he detailed the cabal's efforts to prevent the States from taking any steps to forestall the current crisis.
As Spitzer was being taken down, in March 2008, the first $200 Billion dollar installment of the plan was being made.
Didn't know the bailout started back in March, did you?
That's when the Fed's Bernanke loaned 1/5th of a trillion dollars to the very thieves we are now promising another $700 billion to.
Greg Palast connected those dots back on March 14: Eliot's Mess The $200 billion bail-out for predator banks and Spitzer charges are intimately linked.
Add to that the $300 Billion spent on the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, and Bear Stearns tea parties.
That's $1.2 Trillion in less than 8 months. Someone is cashing out fast ... and there is that ninety odd acres in Paraguay, you know.
