As a new Siena Poll released this morning showed Democrat Bill Owens (36 percent) and conservative Doug Hoffman (35 percent) neck and neck--and liberal Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava at 20 percent--Scozzafava withdrew from the race. Josh Kraushaar has the statement: ...
This is terrific news for the Conservative candidate! Now the vote won't be split between the RINO, Scozzafava, and Hoffman. Hoffman should have a clear path to victory now.

Dismantling America
Thomas Sowell - Townhall.com
Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent? ...
Once again, the brilliance of Mr. Sowell shines through! I highly recommend that everyone read this article. Only a fool would try to argue against what he's saying.

An Amazing Quote
It is a very great mistake to imagine that the object of loyalty is the authority and interest of one individual man, however dignified by the applause or enriched by the success of popular actions.
-- Samuel Adams "Loyalty and Sedition," essay published in The Advertiser(1748), printed in The Life and Public Service of Samuel Adams, Volume 1, by William Vincent Wells; Little, Brown, and Company; Boston, 1865
This quote is amazingly applicable today!

Buckeyes' Pryor grows up on, off the field
Big Ten - ESPN
Terrelle Pryor earned a passing grade last week, even if there are still a lot of questions about his, er, passing. ...
The young man has worlds of talent, that goes almost without saying. The problem is that everything he's doing is on talent alone. He is clearly not being properly coached up and developed. Of course when you have a video coordinator acting as a QB coach, what do you expect. I love coach Tressel and and what he's done for this program, but he's allowed his coaching staff to become stale and complacent, as well as filled with friends and family. That MUST be changed after the season is over for the team to develop and progress!

President Obama and American Exceptionalism
RealClearPolitics.com
Several pundits have observed that the rhetoric of candidate Barack Obama has differed considerably from the conduct of President Obama's administration. A major part of Obama's campaign appeal, especially to young voters and Independents who helped propel him to victory, was the promise of ushering in a new politics, an escape from partisan rancor in favor of pragmatic problem-solving. But just nine months into his tenure, the old, bare-knuckle politics seems to have been replaced with the Chicago brass-knuckle variety. ...
The people who believed that crap were naive and had done no research into who the man is and how he had conducted himself, both politically and personally! I understand that many wanted to get away from the baby-boom generation. Clinton and Bush brought out the worst cynic in all of us. It is my firm belief that the baby-boom generation is the worst generation that this country has seen in its history. They have exemplified greed and self-righteousness. In the effort to get away from that the "young" and "independent" voters willingly overlooked the FACTS that this man DOES NOT like this country or its founding principles!

No. 18/17 Ohio State Routs Minnesota, 38-7
The Ohio State Buckeyes Official Athletics Site - OhioStateBuckeyes.com
Sophomore Terrelle Pryor threw for 239 yards, rushed for another 104 yards and accounted for three touchdowns.
That was a much better performance by the Bucks today, but they still need a good deal of improvement and much better consistancy! I am still of the mindset that a whole sale shake up of the assistant coaching staff is needed. Coach Tressel's friends and relatives on the staff need to be let go and top quality and agressive assistants need to be brought in.

White House Tactics Go Too Far
Charles Krauthammer: WSJ - RealClearPolitics.com

WH Tries to Ban Fox News From 'Pool Interview'
The absolute arrogance of "the messiah" and his "disciples" is galling! They are trying to use Chicago style politics to strong arm their opponents. I'm sure Hugo Chavez is thrilled to see the Bamster use his tactics against a news outlet. I for one am sick of these type of tactics! That type of crap has no place in and will not be accepted in the rest of the country.

Oh how quaint. So, for the first time in anybody that I know's lifetime little bro can claim to be better. It is rather amusing. We rarely play each other, yet some think there's an actual rivalry there. The Ohio State fans and alumni I know don't consider it a rivalry and actually enjoy watching UC. We root for UC. So, relax UC fan, enjoy your current run and know that you are more than welcome to come enjoy Ohio State football too!

Comeback Falls Short as Buckeyes Drop 26-18 Decision at Purdue
The Ohio State Buckeyes Official Athletics Site - OhioStateBuckeyes.com
West Lafayette, Ind. - Ohio State made a valiant comeback behind 177 yards of fourth-quarter offense from Terrelle Pryor, but Purdue's defense did just enough to hang on for the 26-18 victory in front of 50,404 fans Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium. ...
The lack of development of Pryor and the offense is astounding. A complete shake up of the assistant coaching staff is needed. A true QB coach needs to be brought in to teach Pryor, a new OC that'll install the Florida offense and who has complete autonomy over the offense is needed, and a new DC that knows how to make game adjustments and doesn't rely solely on the talent of the players is needed.

Limbaugh dropped from group seeking to buy Rams
My Way News
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from a group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams. Limbaugh was to be a limited partner in a bid led by St. Louis Blues chairman Dave Checketts, but Checketts said in a statement Wednesday that Limbaugh's participation had complicated the effort. The group will move forward without him. ...
This is absolutely disgusting! Having been a listener of Rush's since 1991 I can say without equivocation that the things that he is being labeled are TOTALLY without merit. The fact that made up quotes are being falsely attributed to him and people in the media like Chrissy "tingly feelings running up his leg" Matthews, Rick Sanchez(who ran over and killed somebody in his car while drunk), Jason Witlock, and several other "journalists" run them without sourcing them is the greatest show of yellow journalism that I've seen! I hope that Rush now pursues his threat of legal action based on slander and libel against each and every one of them! I'd call them scum, but to paraphrase Bobby Knight, that'd be an insult to scum.
The most egregious thing is that in this and other articles on this topic, Al "Tawan Brawley" Sharpton is quoted as someone of stature on this subject. This is the same man who encouraged people to riot and attack innocent people and loot stores simply because those people where a different skin color.
I don't give a rats rear if you don't like the man's politics, or mine for that matter. To intentionally try to ruin someone personally based on that is unconscionable! These tactics are straight out of the book 1984. They are the lowest form of political correctness to which one can stoop! I thought the left in this country had sunk as low as it could, but it is obvious I was wrong. They have reached new depths and it appears as though their intent is to keep diving deeper in to the muck and swill!
Would you like to see some FACTS about Rush's accusers well here are some articles.:
NYT '87: Jackson and Dr. King's Assassination
S&L: Sharpton's Million Dollar Shakedowns
Red State: CNN's Rick "DUI" Sanchez Ran a Man Down Then Fled the Scene. Hours Later, He Was Still Drunk. The Victim Later Died of His Injuries.

If you want to know why the dollar has been falling this week and gold hit a new high, look no further than the weak jobs numbers last Friday and the weak communique issued over the weekend at the G-7 meeting in Istanbul. Deploring "excess volatility and disorderly movements in exchange rates" isn't exactly a ringing defense of the greenback.

Tax the Rich? How's That Working?
RealClearMarkets.com
When David Paterson became governor of New York after Eliot Spitzer's hooker escapades, the former state senator from Harlem shocked New Yorkers by declaring that taxes were too high and that he had many friends who had left the state because there were better opportunities elsewhere. ...
You could confiscate the entire wealth of the top 50% of tax payers and it still wouldn't come close to paying off the debt of the federal government, let alone that of the states or local governments. Then you still have to worry about how you are going to pay for the current spending. Here's a simple economics lesson for those that may have skipped that part of their education. The more you tax/levy "fees" on/or whatever other term you chose to use on production/investment by an individual the more disincentive there is on that activity. Also, when was the last time you saw a "poor" person create jobs?!

Is Racial Profiling Racist?
A MINORITY VIEW
BY WALTER WILLIAMS
RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2009
Harvard Professor Henry Gates' arrest has given new life to the issue of racial profiling. We can think of profiling in general as a practice where people use an observable or known physical attribute as a proxy or estimator of some other unobservable or unknown attribute. Race or sex profiling is simply the use of race or sex as that estimator. Profiling represents mankind's attempt to cope with information cost.
