In the News XLV

Benazir Bhutto's widower to stand for President
Asif Ali Zardari was held in custody on various charges (including murder) from 1997 to 2004 . He was also found guilty by a Swiss court of money laundering in 2003. The fact that this guy is even being considered for the presidency is an insult to the population. For more on the back dealing in Pakistani politics go to the following source. Meanwhile the Islamists are back to their old tricks with a bomb blast that has left over twenty dead.

Obama picks Joe Biden for Veep
He brings the foreign policy experience that Obama so needs. I guess all is for given after this earlier remark from Biden. Talk about selective use of the racism card. Now if a Republican had said this........

More capitulation by Israel
199 Palestinian prisoners to be freed by Monday.
More give, give, give from Olmert and his appeasers. Apparently Israel may receive captured soldier Gilad Shalit in return....lets hope its not in a coffin as was the case a month ago with Hezbollah's two kidnapped Israeli soldiers.
