Online story: "WASHINGTON (July 17) -- Election watchdogs have directed Joe Biden's 2008 presidential campaign to pay the U.S Treasury more than $219,000 to resolve issues caused by sloppy bookkeeping and accepting excessive contributions, including a discounted flight on a private jet." -- So much for voluntary campaign ethics starting at the top.

Online story: "WASHINGTON (July 17) -- The Supreme Court has cleared the way for the U.S. to send two Guantanamo Bay prisoners back to Algeria even though they want to remain at the prison camp because of fear they might be tortured at home." -- Two thoughts come to mind: 1, they are mimicking Br'er Rabbit's ploy of 'please don't throw me into the brier patch, or 2, is Camp Gitmo's life style is far better than they had at home?

Online headline: "Obama Claims GOP Is Obstructing 'Our Progress' " -- "Our Progress"? Republicans are just playing 'bump & run' defense to prevent any more "HELL Mary" Congressional "passes" until November.

L-E "soundoff": "Dick Cheney had heart surgery where he had a pump and monitor put in. Who would have thunk it that the $6 million man would look like Cheney and not Lee Majors? " -- Have you seen Lee Majors in the hearing aid commercial? Cheney wins!

Froma Harrop.. she should be the Poster Child for the Ultimate DIM/DUMBorat. Claims she's an Independent, bashes Bush budget deficits while ignoring potUS Nero-bama's, and would vote to re-elect Nero-bama regardless of who runs against him as a Republican. Why is this person allowed to voice her opinion publicly?

In short, every new government job, and every new government program either delays or undermines our economic recovery. One too many of either can collapse it. Don't you feel like the proverbial camel?
