'Songbird' McCain by Hope2012 Sunday, August 3, 2008 PERMANENT LINK I've been watching the 2008 election circus with sad amusement. My friends all seem to have watched this Onion video on how to pretend to give a shit about the election. From my point of view, there's no substantive difference between McCain and Obama, and the system is rigged, if not entirely, enough to only allow two candidates. However, for those of you interested in reading more on the horrible possibilities of a McBama presidency: Obama does not represent change -- he is intended to placate the ‘left’ - 7/12/08 More reasons not to vote for McCain: his personal character, his traitorous behavior in Vietnam, and of course his positions on the issues and fascist tendencies - 7/13/08 McCain vs. Obama - What’s the difference? 7/26/08 I also spent a bit of time looking into the allegations that McCain was a coward and a traitor to the United States during Vietnam, a pampered son who only survived thanks to his perceived value by the North Vietnamese. There's plenty of evidence in his own version of the story, but I found it interesting that there wasn't a better compilation of the different narratives out there. So I posted one: ‘Songbird’ McCain: The evidence - in his own words, I wish you all the best in these interesting times, Hope2012 Obama will have to pick up his sellout pace quite a bit before I'll see "no substantive difference" between him and McCain, but your perspective is always appreciated. I especially got a kick from the last link, ‘Songbird’ McCain, which deals well and adds some serious substantiation to some things I've heard whispers about concerning McCain the "heroic" POW. Very thanks. Helen & Harry
 One little letter by Herb Ruhs, MD Sunday, August 3, 2008 PERMANENT LINK All we need to do to get a clear picture of the nature of the "War on Terror" is to change a single letter and rewrite it as "War of Terror." Herb Ruhs, MD Crosshairs by Sherri B. Sunday, August 3, 2008 PERMANENT LINK State's Medi-Cal program is being hit hard Someone is going to be on a roof with a sniper rifle over this. Sherri B. Technical difficulties by SirJ Sunday, August 3, 2008 PERMANENT LINK I've been unable to look at pages on your website for the last two days when I use Internet Explorer 7. When I use Firefox, I have no problem. The problem is happening with every page on your website EXCEPT http://www.unknownnews.org/dailyRSS.html. You can view the error message I get here. As you can see, the page partially loads before halting. When I click OK in the error message, the screen changes to the typical "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." It doesn't bother me because I switch to Firefox. Thought you might like to know in case somebody else sends an e-mail and this would help you track down the problem. It started happening to me yesterday, Friday, Aug 1. SirJ Curious that it would happen on Friday. We only change our home page once a week, so the code on that page was the same on Thursday and Wednesday and Tuesday and Monday... But I appreciate the heads-up, even as I sigh loudly. I guess it's time to do our once every year or two debugging of the code ... I just spent 45 minutes and snagged four errors (not counting the dozens of recurrences of two errors that we've had as part of our code for years with no problems). Hope that helps it load?
