- : Born to a daughter of immigrants and a failed priest, I am the author of thousands of pages of unpublished treasures, some of which are collected at Radiant Days. I have been a pizza delivery driver, political activist, radio news reporter, student of philosophy, executive secretary, photographer, vagabond in Paris, Visual Basic programmer and web designer. I have lived in Ohio, New Mexico, San Francisco, New York, Paris and Morocco. I have visited 49 states and 14 countries. I dislike hospitals and airports, television and air conditioning. I prefer marginal neighborhoods and poor countries. I feel that Americans are living in a bubble of self satisfaction, which even the tragedies of terrorism and war have failed to puncture. I want to live in a global democracy, a world without borders, where money serves people and not the other way around. I am a Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Jew. I recently completed a draft of my first novel, Vanishing Point.

The Cruelty Principle
The same Moroccan friend who told me, the first time we met, that "Morocco is a cruel country" later explained what he called the "Arab mentality" in which rulers are abusive toward their people not because they deserve it, but...more »

"The e-mail itself has been validate by a conservative blogger who wanted it to be a hoax, but who was able to get in direct contact with its author." -- from my first paragraph.

Click on the links in the first paragraph (unfortunately, they deleted my correctly formatted version of this post) and you will find the author's name.

I posted twice because the first post was incorrectly formatted. You deleted the second (correctly formatted) post, not the first. It already had comments and recommendations. Could you please fix this?

The way to answer this tactic is to ask, "Did Sarah Palin suddenly replace the man at the top of the ticket? I thought the Republican nominee was John McCain."

You've got a very good point here, but it doesn't answer something else I've been wondering about -- if Trig is Bristol's baby, then won't the family need to come up with a second baby eventually, now that they have admitted Bristol is pregnant? Where will that baby come from, since Trig is already born? I certainly hope they thought things through to this extent.
Assuming Republicans are capable of logic, this proves that Trig is really Sarah's baby. But your point is well taken, that releasing photos or medical records of the birth would have quashed the rumors without bringing Bristol into it.

I guess you're an expert in predicting alternate realities based on "what if" scenarios? I'm sure that Hillary would have been quite capable of becoming a partner in a law firm, or even Senator, if she hadn't married Bill Clinton. She just wouldn't have been First Lady first. In fact it could equally well be argued that for 25 years she set aside her own bright prospects to advance her husband's.

Obama has been to Afghanistan and Iraq, met with Arab, Israeli and European leaders, passed ethics reform legislation and a bill to ensure that veterans get a fair deal when they return from Iraq. He has spent the last two years developing policies on energy independence, universal health care, education, taxes and all the rest. He won the Democratic nomination because his campaign was the best managed and got hundreds of thousands of new voters involved in politics. Sarah Palin has done none of these things. She was elevated overnight from governor of a state with a population smaller than Baltimore, to the national scene because John McCain wanted a babe on the ticket. Obama has been a leader on issues where Palin doesn't even have a position. I'm looking forward to watching her prove her mettle.

How many different ways do you need to keep saying it though? I can't hear myself think.
I wonder why you have a compulsion to respond to every post in this thread you don't agree with.
