Barack Obama is projected to become the next President of the United States, capping a historic campaign that makes him the first African American president in history.The victory marked a stunning transformation in a country where just over a half-century ago racial segregation was the law of the land in many states. Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), who was a leader during the civil rights movement, seemed close to tears as he discussed the implications of Obama's victory. | Obama stuns McCain for Florida's 27 electoral votes

by AFP
No one would say the word in court, but a four-letter obscenity muttered on US television by the likes of Cher and Bono was the focus of attention in the Supreme Court Tuesday as lawyers argued whether it was too crude for broadcast.At specific issue was whether the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates broadcast television and radio, but not cable television, went too far when it suddenly moved in 2004 to levee fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars for any use on air of the word "fuck," as well as "shit." | Jose Canseco sentenced for trying to smuggle fertility drug from Mexico

Brooks. | The New Know-Nothings: Thanks to Sarah Palin, We Get to See the Cruelness of the GOP as It Really Is
by Larry Beinhart
It was Jesus Christ, if Matthew is to be believed, who said, "Love thine enemy." It is in that spirit that I write this belated valentine to Sarah Palin.Sarah, I love you for having revealed unto the media the snarling heart of the beast that is the base (and the soul) of the Republican Party. Yes, you have the lipstick and the heels, not to mention the calves and bosoms, that send Republican men into swoons, but you have more; the pit-bull snarl that rouses your supporters to cry out, "Traitor!" against Obama, and "Kill him!" | Politics, religion, economics & geeks: My report from Iran #5
by Jane Stillwater
Yes, I'm still over here in Iran.After leaving Shiraz, I then wandered off to Pasargad, which used to be Cyrus the Great's ceremonial home. At one time this place was truly impressive but there's not much left at Pasargad now. It looked like it had gotten foreclosed upon too. | NOT about 2012!!! Need Act of Real Statesmanship/Leadership that Transcends Ego Giving Next Administration a Running Start!
by Fred Cederholm
I’ve been thinking about 2012. Actually I’ve been thinking about election 2008, the process, the record books, partisanship/ bi-partisanship, and a self-sacrificing act of real statesmanship and leadership that transcends ego giving the next administration a running start. It is NOT about 2012!!! | Tree fungus could provide green transport fuel
by Alok Jha
A tree fungus could provide green fuel that can be pumped directly into tanks, scientists say. The organism, found in the Patagonian rainforest, naturally produces a mixture of chemicals that is remarkably similar to diesel."This is the only organism that has ever been shown to produce such an important combination of fuel substances," said Gary Strobel, a plant scientist from Montana State University who led the work. "We were totally surprised to learn that it was making a plethora of hydrocarbons." | Foreclosed: The George W. Bush Story
by Tom Engelhardt
They may have been the most disastrous dreamers, the most reckless gamblers, and the most vigorous imperial hucksters and grifters in our history. Selling was their passion. And they were classic American salesmen -- if you're talking about underwater land in Florida, or the Brooklyn Bridge, or three-card monte, or bizarre visions of Iraqi unmanned aerial vehicles armed with chemical and biological weaponry let loose over the U.S., or Saddam Hussein's mushroom clouds rising over American cities, or a full-scale reordering of the Middle East to our taste, or simply eternal global dominance. | Nowhere Man: A Farewell to Dubya, All-Time Loser in Presidential History
by Simon Schama
"Forgotten but not gone" was the way in which the supremo of Boston politics, Billy Bulger, liked to dismiss the human irritants he had crushed beneath his trim boot. The same could now be said for the hapless 43rd President of the United States as the daylight draws mercifully in on his reign of misfortune and calamity. How is he bearing up, one wonders, as the candidate from his own party treats him as the carrier of some sort of infectious political disease? How telling was it that the most impassioned moment in John McCain's performance in the final debate was when he declared: "I am not George Bush." | I Mean Really, THOSE PEOPLE On the Upper West Side...
by Pamela Troy
From the unspeakably bad timing department: Most of us have already seen the video of Shirley Nagel, the McCain supporter in Michigan who, on Halloween night, refused to give candy to the children of Obama supporters. To capture the full flavor of the current right wing insanity though, it really should be watched in tandem with an unintentionally funny video posted on Halloween, just a few hours before Shirley Nagel became an Internet star. It seems that Joe Scarborough’s young right-wing sidekick, Willie Geist, decided to film himself trying to drum up support for the McCain-Palin ticket on the Upper West Side in front of Zabar’s. |
