Everyone has noticed...he is like a child confessing right before a big party (The DNC convention) thinking his parents would not notice or have time to punish him. Let's be blunt after reading all the information about the affair it seems like this: Elizabeth found out about the affair, thought about divorcing her husband for a.) the stupidity of having an affair during a campaign b.) having an affair c.) having it with a twit d.) all of the above. But she did not because she found out her cancer was coming back and she decided the kids needed her more during this time since Daddy is a jerk. And life will be hard enough for her kids when she passes on.....if she does not survive this round of cancer. In the meantime, John Edwards has continued the affair with Rielle most likely, maybe he has just kept contact because she is the mother of his child, but in light of recent events he probably just continued the affair. Two things, Rielle will one day tire of telling him that he is Gandhi and the relationship will end and more important his other kids will grow up to hate him. Moving along... ]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/friday_fry_up_8.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/friday_fry_up_8.html Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:47:37 -0500 Elizabeth-John-Rielle betrayed by his rock star behavior. Didn't anyone learn anything from the Clinton scandal? Celebrities of any kind dally when they choose to and being only human do it far too easily.... Check out this tidbit from The Enquirer. While any article could be false and untrue, if in fact Edwards continues to see Rielle Hunter and her baby because the baby probably is his child...and supposedly his wife knows about the affair...is it possible that she told him it was okay? Is it possible that the two of them have some deal because surely Elizabeth Edwards does not have to put up with him having a continued affair...um, but if the baby is Edwards' and it's hard to believe it is really the child of his campaign staffer, that would explain continued contact with Hunter..maybe it's worse than that though, maybe John and Elizabeth have an arrangement because of her condition....it makes you wonder... ]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/elizabethjohnrielle.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/elizabethjohnrielle.html Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:50:59 -0500 August Spice calm things in Georgia. Maybe the President does not want Putin to get the idea that he can do whatever just because the U.S. is engaged in Iraq or that the U.S. has an election going on at the moment. And one cannot forget the Olympics either....as they draw attention away from the rest of the world. And the Dems have revealed that Mark Warner will be the Dems keynote speaker on the second night of the Democratic Convention. Mark Warner is probably one of the most charismatic Democrats in the country...and he hasn't been sullied by controversy unlike some other people... ]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/things_have_gotten_rather_spic.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/things_have_gotten_rather_spic.html Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:06:55 -0500 The International Problem Kashmir Problems. A friend once said that Kashmir was so beautiful he could understand why India and Pakistan fought over it. It is probably more correct to say that the area is simply a symbol for the tension between India and Pakistan, Muslims vs. Hindus mostly....it was only 2003 when the two countries were freaking everyone out at the idea of potential nuclear war. Does anything ever change??? One would have been hesitant two weeks ago, to even bring the subject up...Iran, Iraq, Israel's problems, the Chinese, India vs. Pakistan, Russia.... ]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/the_international_problem.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/the_international_problem.html Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:30:26 -0500 Record, Replay, Regurgitate. this blog post below.
DNC: Hillary Clinton is not the VP pick By James Pindell While they probably did not intend it this way, the Democratic National Committee just stated that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton will not be Barack Obama's pick for vice president. In recent months there was a growing sense that Obama would pick someone other than his one-time Democratic rival for the nomination. A website developed by two former Clinton aides, voteboth.com, even stopped their efforts to put the two together because they were convinced it would not happen. But in announcing the line-up for the Democratic National Convention in Denver today, the DNC made it official for the first time. On Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton will be given the prime time keynote speaking slot. On Wednesday the same time will be given to the vice presidential pick. Two different people on two different nights. This does not preclude Obama from picking Clinton anyway though it would be a little odd that a convention he is essentially running on would reverse itself in such a dramatic way.

The Chinese and Russia. Hello, I'm forwarding a message from my good friend Ellen Bork. Use this map if you are visiting Peking. Many thanks. Best, Kin-ming Dear Friends, With all of the attention being paid to Beijing and the Olympics, two friends and I thought a little attention might be diverted to another major event in the city's history. Using information provided by Ding Zilin and the Tiananmen Mothers, Philip Chalk, a graphic designer, Tian Jian, a student protester in 1989, and I put the identified victims of the June 4, 1989 massacre on an English language map. Here is a link: www.massacremap.com There's a little more at the site that explains the information and why we felt it was important to provide it. Best, Ellen ]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/communismthe_chinese_and_russi.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/communismthe_chinese_and_russi.html Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:05:56 -0500 Friday Fry Up. true for sure. So gross, his wife has cancer! Dems can be happy that he is not the nominee. We know Obama would be dead before the news hit if he cheated on his wife. And thanks to McCain's campaign, we have funnier things to talk about... So forget the Olympics which open tonight and examine the Obama is just like Britney spears ad for a moment by the McCain camp. McCain released an ad</u> this week that has had people talking...it must be the best publicity stunt ever.. The ad attacks Barack Obama by comparing him to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, but in the end it seems to have some pretty positive spin if one considers the subtle results. First, let's consider the McCain campaign's explanation for the ad. The campaign's thoughts make sense, Obama is very much a celebrity. He is very much liked for his appearance and the idea of him, instead of who he actually is or what he has done to earn the office of President. And this blogger is suspicious of the Paris Hilton counter ad/film from Live Funny or Die. Hilton obviously counters with the information that has been provided to her from the Live Funny or Die writers who are GENIUSES. The thing is, her response is almost exactly like what McCain would propose for our problems with energy. Huh. Is this all just a mischievous plot to take attention away from Obama? The more people see the ad the more they will think of Obama as a celebrity, can't be helped...he has to respond by being less of a celebrity type...this blogger already sees him as being more arrogant....or is it just an event for Paris Hilton? ]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/friday_fry_up_6.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/friday_fry_up_6.html Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:25:29 -0500 Psychopath or Sociopath? Here is the link for a Psychopath. The two terms can be used interchangeably depending on the person in question, but frankly psychologists shy away from the terms because of their use in films to depict cold blooded killers.They now talk about people with Anti Social Personality Disorder and Narcissitic Personality Disorder. People often think of Hitler as a psychopath, but guess what, he doesn't fit the full profile. Psychopaths make up 25% of the prison population and guess what, they scare the other prisoners. Sociopaths on the other hand lack some of the outright violence and trouble with the justice system seen earlier in life. They are your classic white collar criminal and are more likely to blend better in society. ]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/psychopath_or_sociopath_1.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/psychopath_or_sociopath_1.html Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:49:30 -0500 Friday Fry Up! August. smokin' for some people. Anyways, it is time for the Fry Up! So this came in from the Ron Paul spokesperson Jesse Benton yesterday:
Friends, An update on the Rally for the Republic. In a video message to supporters today, Dr. Paul announced that country music star Rocky Lynne and Gov. Jesse Ventura, both Minnesota natives, will join us in our program. We are thrilled that these two patriots and military veterans will be lending their voices to our Rally. To view Dr. Paul's message, click here. Also, we expect another major announcement next week, so stay tuned!
Yes, if you did not know, Ron Paul is having a rally during the Republican Convention and it is doing better than one might expect...]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/friday_fry_up_august.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/08/friday_fry_up_august.html Fri, 01 Aug 2008 11:16:15 -0500 Senator Stevens and the Cookie Jar? fat cat ways. Oh no, it could not have happened years ago, like in 2005, when the famous bridge to nowhere was being attacked. That was a warning for Stevens to change his ways. The bridge by the way, was a multi-million dollar project project that would be financed with you guessed it, your tax dollars. The project was to build a bridge to an island that was mostly uninhabited off the coast of Alaska. It turned out that Stevens' mother, or mother in law, or who knows, maybe his dog lived on the island and it was really an opportunity to give Alaska business and help himself out at the same time. ]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/07/senator_stevens_and_the_cookie.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/07/senator_stevens_and_the_cookie.html Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:52:42 -0500 Shamelss Promotion... The Case Against Barack Obama.
Dear Friends: My new book, The Case against Barack Obama, is now available on Amazon.com. In fact, I am #68 overall on Amazon today. You can help me improve that by clicking through here and buying the book. The release date is this coming Monday -- August 4, Senator Obama's birthday. I am scheduled to begin television and radio appearances that night, beginning with Hannity and Colmes. I promise you that it is a good read, and you'll enjoy it. For those of you in the D.C. area, I also promise to throw a party at some point soon (probably later in August) to celebrate its release. If you bring your book, I'll even sign it for you. Further details will follow. Thanks! David Freddoso

It's a sad day when a girl can't go on a vacation because it costs to much for gas. And the gas hysteria is rising...the oil companies were already dragged in front of congress and questioned...the oil business can't help the nature of speculation...but then again....they can...one almost starts to wonder if the oil companies know what they are doing anymore...making lots of money...but have they thought about the loss of profits if the current situation continues and everyone switches to some other form of energy eventually? Critics and supporters complain that the oil will always be our main form of energy, but that seems ridiculous. There simply comes a point when cost outweighs the benefit. Think about it, another energy source or plan will make the middle eastern situation null. If money is not being poured into the middle east for oil, then there is no need for U.S. intervention except that the rest of the world might still want oil for energy use. So then the U.S. is still stuck trying to protect that source of money from the terrorists. And the general craziness of some of the people...sometimes the Middle East's hold on oil and the problems over there are like the hold of an abusive relationship, the longer one stays, the harder it is to leave, the more crazy things become..and the abusive personality knows that....]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/07/gasgas_1.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/07/gasgas_1.html Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:20:31 -0500 Is it the 1970's? bailout plan for homeowners in trouble which would allow them to get government backed loan help, so they don't have to have their homes foreclosed on.....
Despite reservations, Bush ready to sign mortgage relief for 400,000 strapped homeowners WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress approved mortgage relief for 400,000 struggling homeowners Saturday as part of an election-year housing plan that also aims to calm jittery financial markets and bolster the sagging economy. President Bush said he would sign it promptly, despite reservations.

So, this week was a rolling run of people that McCain might pick to be his VP candidate. Pawlenty..Romney...what happened to the Colin Powell idea? Or Condi Rice? MAN! Such a tease. And no one in Hollywood is being crazy enough to warrant censure, rehab, or ridicule, yet. Go Watch E! News if you need something...well, Christian Bale went off verbally on his mommy and sister. Okay, censure Christian Bale! This article came out earlier this week from the New Yorker. It describes the eerie feeling the author got as he watched Heath Ledger play the joker in the Dark Knight. ]]> http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/07/friday_fry_up_7.html http://dcb.polireport.com/2008/07/friday_fry_up_7.html Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:28:38 -0500
