POPSSupreme Court rejects another appeal questioning Obama's citizenship In another lawsuit making its way through the courts, Philip Berg of Pennsylvania alleges the president-elect was actually born in Kenya. Berg claims Hawaiian officials will not let him see Obama's original birth certificate, although the campaign posted a copy of it online this summer, following numerous blog postings over the citizenship question. That case had previously been dismissed by lower federal courts.

POPSObama to delay Game 6 World Series Reader comments: ***Wow, why didn't FOX just say no to running Obama's TV show???? Fox can just say no, we can't run your 30 minute segment. Right? Sure. So, Obama isn't forcing anyone to delay the game. Fox wants Obama's money, and Baseball wants Fox's money. See how capitalism works?

Oh yeah, MCcain has 7 houses and 13 cars, of course he's an Elitist!

Big deal if the World Series is delayed by 15 minutes. Talk about grasping at straws. So sad.

POPSMcCain's Chilling Dance With the Dark Side
Now, I'm not saying that it's wrong to ask questions about Obama's relationship, such as it was, with Bill Ayers. Or with Tony Rezko or with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Just as it wouldn't be inappropriate to raise questions about McCain's association with G. Gordon Liddy, the convicted Watergate burglar whose colorful history includes telling listeners to his radio show in 1994 to shoot federal agents in the head. When McCain went on Liddy's radio show in November 2007, he told Liddy, "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family... It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great." The candidates' associations with these people, and their responses to questions about them, give you a view into their judgment. But at a time of great economic uncertainty -- so uncertain that the smartest people in the world are scratching their heads about what to do -- whi
