The AIDS virus has been circulating among people for about 100 years, decades longer than scientists had thought, a new study suggests. Genetic analysis pushes the estimated origin of HIV back to between 1884 and 1924, with a more focused estimate at 1908…

Nancy Pelosi’s bailout attack speech on the House floor;
Update: Pence statement added
I noted it during my liveblog of the House debate. Here’s a video sample of her crap sandwich. As I mentioned while it was happening, she received multiple rounds of applause on the floor before and after her spittle-flecked statement.
And as I mentioned while it was happening, what did the GOP crap sandwich swallowers expect?

The Pretentious Commission on Presidential Debates October 1, 2008
Barnes: The Pretentious Commission on Presidential Debates
There aren’t many outfits as arrogant, self-important, and
aggrandizing as the unelected Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD),
sponsor of tonight’s debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. When
John McCain said Wednesday the debate might have to be delayed so he
could work on the financial bailout, the commission responded, in
effect, “Sorry, John, the debate must go on, whether or not financial
markets collapse. The debate is more important.”
That was just the latest example of high-handedness by the
commission, which has hijacked the debates from the candidates, the
campaigns, and the news media. The commission picked the sites for the
debates (three presidential, one vice presidential) and charged the
colleges involved $1.5 million for the honor. Then CPD announced the
moderators for each debate without consulting with Obama or McCain
campaigns or even informing them ahead of time.
The moderators are all nice people: Jim Lehrer, Gwen Ifill, Tom
Brokaw, Bob Schieffer. But all four of them are liberals, more or less,
of the mainstream media variety. Plus, the commission picked no one
from cable news, where millions of people who follow campaigns and
elections most closely go for their political news.
The McCain and Obama campaigns had little trouble working out their
own differences on debate format. Their negotiations were amicable.
When the commission stepped in, the talks became less friendly. [For
the rest of the story ...]

Congress to bailout the IRS? October 1, 2008
Hold up there Congress…
Americans should not pay their 2008 taxes next April 15th and ask Congress to bailout the IRS! This would solve the average American’s problems with their finances. And then go ahead and let Wall Street fail!
Of course this will not happen because Congress wants to bailout their friends on Wall Street and line their own pockets along the way. And the American taxpayer will pay for it all.
Wall Street, Congress and the bailout are a sham. America needs to wakeup and pay attention to these people who are reaching into their pockets everyday.
