I was in Denver at the DNC and clearly it was history in the making. To see white and blacks joined with a common goal and bond. To see older black couples walking miles to get to some of the events, because security was so tight, holding and supporting each other, never tiring, may not have been historical, but for a black man to accept the Democratic parties'nomination clearly is historical.

Everyone should read this article from */_Investors Business Daily_/*/.
/Do not brush it off as just some anti Obama rant -- it is very
revealing on where we may very well be headed. Some may be fine with
this. If you are, just make sure you are an informed voter.



No matter whether you consider your personal political brand as liberal,
moderate or conservative you probably won't want to hear what this
article has to say, but you need to. It's from Investors Business
Daily, not some right wing publication or McCain's political camp, and
it is a very revealing view of Democrat presidential candidate, Obama..

So this week ought to be interesting. No, not Gustav. No not the RNC convention, although that should provide comic relief.

This week, expect Sarah Palin's name to be withdrawn after the media exposes her as the GRANDMOTHER, not MOTHER of 'her' 4 1/2 month old.

The baby is the child of her 17 year old daughter Bristol, and Mom is pulling a "Bree VanDeKamp" to save her daughter's honor.

Her daughter was absent school for the 6 months prior to the baby's birth...supposedly with mono...but most cases of mono clear up in two months.

Check out the plump Bristol and the amazingly slim Sarah at:

August 30, 2008. The presidential campaign has just turned into a soap opera. MediaTakeOut.com is hearing rumors that John McCain’s VP pick, Sarah Palin , may have a scandal in her past. Word is coming from MTO readers in Alaska (yeah, we got readers in Alaska) and from a bunch of left-wing bloggers that McCain’s VP may have hid her daughter’s pregnancy. And that the child which she claims is hers, might actually be her daughter’s.
Here’s a report (excerpted from the popular blog The Moderate Vpoice):
[Governor Palin’s] oldest girl is rumored to have actually been the one who had the last baby, the one with Down’s Syndrome. She was taken out of school the last 4 or 5 months of her mother’s pregnancy.
On March 5th, 2008 Alaska’s Republican Governor, Sarah Palin, announced to the media that she was 7 months pregnant with her 5th child. She is currently 44.
Palin’s daughter Bristol is 16 and attends an Anchorage high school. Students who have attended class with her report that she has been out of school for months, claiming a prolonged case of mono.
Palin does not appear pregnant in any recent photographs. The announcement came as quite a shock to people who had worked closely with her, and have been quoted as saying that she did not appear pregnant whatsoever during the prior 7 months.
And there’s more – check out the photo above taken with Palin’s daughter having a bulge in her stomach. And the below pic shows the governor when she was supposedly 6 months pregnant.
And even more. Since these rumors have begun circulating, the Alaska Department of State has taken down ALL PHOTOS of the governor and her family from the state’s website.
Now y’all know that we’re not knocking the lady for trying to protect her daughter. But if you have that kind of scandal in your recent past, you really have no business running for vice president. If that’s what she wanted to do, she could have done like Janet and Rebe and just stayed out of the limelight for a minute…..
Anyway, even though the mainstream press is too chicken to report on this, MediaTakeOut.com has learned that The National Enquirer is all over this one. Expect the scandal to get bigger (if it is true) in coming weeks…

That's not historical. I guess you have never been in the military. It happens everyday.

The National Enquirer broke the story on Edward's affair so who's to say this story isn't true either! What I found to be interesting was that at the introduction of the gov. was that the oldest daughter was holding the baby and not the gov's husband! I thought to be very odd! However, we'll see what happens!

The Military and the Democratic Party's Presidential Nominee are not the same. You may have had a point if you would have suggested that a previous President may have had a speck of black blood in him, but the military accomplishments of blacks are a totally different arena. Sorry.
