As we head closer to the election, Democrat's efforts to talk down the economy have intensified. Obama declared Saturday "there is little doubt we've moved into recession."
Memo to Obama: For the record, a recession is defined as two quarters with negative growth. We haven't even had one quarter with negative growth so - its official. We Are Not In A Recession.
Sen. Schumer (D-N.Y.) took the campaign to downplay the economy a step further. Federal regulators claim comments and a publicly released letter from Sen. Schumer, raising concerns about Indy Mac Bank's solvency, caused depositors to withdraw more than $1.3 billion from their accounts. Which resulted in it being seized by federal regulators, in one of the largest bank failures in US history. Thanks, Chuckie. Next step: Blame Bush.
Big news you may have missed. The Iranian missile tests that pushed up the price of oil last week were faked. A fake photo released by Sepah News (Iranian News) turned up on the front pages of LA Times, BBC, NY Times,..well, you get the idea. Turns out the pictures were fauxtography. Oops.

GOOD NEWS:
There was so much positive news out of Iraq last week (unreported by the old media) that I don't have enough space for all of it. I write about it in my new column 'We Won.'
More bad news for the New York Times as their stock hit a 10-year low last week after another downgrade. I'm smiling.
In case you haven't yet heard, the earth is not melting. The journal Science published a seventeen year study of Greenland's ice sheet that flatly contradicts all such hysterical claims. Space and Science goes further showing that the earth's cycle of global warming has ended and the earth has entered into a period of global cooling.
A proposed law in Fremont, Nebraska aims to make illegal immigrants, well, illegal. The left is outraged. Yawn.
Unless a judge intervenes, South Carolina (my adopted state) will begin issuing faith based license plates. Apropos of nothing, a federal judge has thrown out former California congressman Gary Condit's defamation lawsuit against Dominick Dunne. Remember Chandra Levy?
GOVERNMENT AT WORK:
Democrats are standing firm on keeping Americans from drilling for oil, which we have in abundance. This, despite a Pew research poll which shows fully half of all Americans now support drilling - up from 42% five months ago.
Congress tucked $277.9 million worth of pork into the appropriations bill it passed before leaving for the fourth of July holiday. That's a 122% increase over last year's bill. California has made it mandatory for cars to be labelled with 'global warming scores'. Rasmussen reports that congressional approval ratings are now in the single digits - for the first time ever. Just so.
CULTURE:
The Green Party has picked Cynthia McKinney as their presidential pick for 2008. Dog meat has been taken off the menus in China in preparation for the Olympics.
Barbara Walters celebrated the fourth of July with Syrian dictator Assad. She described this anti-American tyrant as charming and intelligent. Random House is set to release a nasty, fictionalized Laura Bush book and the Seattle Opera has decided to designate Friday nights as lesbian-gay-bisexual-
More good news for gays as McDonald's takes up the rhetoric of gay activists, suggesting that anyone that opposes same-sex marriage is motivated by hate. Next thing you know, Ronald will be coming out of the closet. No more Big Macs for me.
Speaking of food, world leaders at the G8 summit dined on a six-course lunch, followed by an eight-course dinner as they gathered to address how to address world hunger. Snack on that.
PC MADNESS:
Plans in Britain to clear undergrowth from a gay sex spot have been branded as discriminating against gays and British toddlers who turn up their nose at spicy food from overseas could be branded racist by a government agency. A British airport has advertised for an air traffic controller. All applicants are offered an application pack in braille.
The American Medical Association is issuing a formal apology for past racial discrimination. Mea culpa. No cure yet found for the newly discovered syndrome of brown nosing.
ESSENTIAL TRIVIA:
According to a new study, the last quarter century has seen a dramatic increase in the frequency of sex among the 70 year-old set.
Scientists in Argentina are strapping plastic bags on cows in order to better understand the effect of cow flatulence on global warming.
Play Stations, new kitchens and art classes are part of Saudi Arabia's soft, squishy approach to rehabilitating terrorists. Barack Obama graces the cover of Rolling Stone, for the second time. Looks like the new messiah is now also a rock star. Sigh. A computer system called Polaris outperformed some of the world's top poker players at a human-vs-machine competition in Las Vegas.

IDIOT OF THE WEEK:
We have another tie this week. I can't figure out which guy is stupider: Representative Edward Markey (D-Mass.) who told high school seniors that climate change had caused Hurricane Katrina and the conflict in Darfur or:
L.F. Eason III, a 29-year veteran of the state Department of Agriculture who quit his job rather than fly the N. Carolina flag at half mast to honor Jesse Helms.
Or maybe the surfer dude in New Smyrna beach in Florida, who knowingly surfs in the shark-bite capital of the world. So many idiots, so little space.
Till next Monday, keep smiling,

Van Halen: Somebody Get Me a Doctor
US Festival, 1983
Shalom, Feral Nation!
Today's topic is the EU healthcare-o-rama and why you should care.
I strongly advise that voters in the US pay careful attention to what is going on with the socialized medical care system in the EU, cause that is very likely what you will get if Obama ends up in the White House.
Therefore, the latest in the EU is this:
In an effort to shift around the service delivery problems inherent in a socialized medical care delivery system, the EU is now going to allow medical care tourism.
EU plans cross border healthcare
"The European Commission is poised to unveil a healthcare package that could give patients new rights to seek medical treatment elsewhere in the EU.
Patients would not have to get their doctor's approval for non-hospital care abroad, officials are quoted as saying."
Bottom line is, if the que by you is too long, you can go elsewhere for treatment. Of course, the real issue boils down to payment.
"Only costs similar to those in a patient's home state would be covered. About 1% of operations performed in the EU involve people from other countries.
Non-hospital care would be reimbursed by the home state up to the level the patient could expect at home, according to reports.
But the state would not reimburse expensive treatment received abroad that was unavailable in the patient's home country."
So what you will have is people shifting to service delivery areas that run more efficiently and probably overwhelming it. Then when the service delivery site goes to get paid the problems will occur. I expect that the service delivery site will either get stiffed and eventually cut services offered or will go after the patient for the difference.
Again, keep an eye on this situation folks, this is what many politicians have in mind for the US.

The Right Color instead of The Right Stuff
The favorite parlor game for liberal, MSM reporters and commentators must be, "Ask Me A Non-Question". Mixing business and pleasure during the spring 2007, they obsessived over the following non-question: "Is Barack Obama black enough?".
By posing non-questions, liberals can give non-answers, which suits them for several reasons. First, it satisfies their regular readers/viewers that they are all thinking. Secondly, it shows they all "care", by just asking. Lastly, they don't have to address real questions: those have much harder solutions.
Asking a non-question to a liberal is like waving the green starting flag at Darlington.
Google the search term, "is obama black enough" and it returns 2.78 million references--overwhelmingly from liberal blogs, newspapers and magazines. It isn't surprising: it was a non-question and any old non-answer was sufficient.
Asking hard, real questions about whether a first-term senator from Illinois had "The Right Stuff", the liberal media was manic about "The Right Color"--or, to be more exact, the right shade of color.
Here's a few representative samples:
As much as his biracial identity has helped Obama build a sizable following in middle America, it's also opened a gap for others to question his authenticity as a black man. In calling Obama the "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," the implication was that the black people who are regularly seen by whites — or at least those who aspire to the highest office in the land — are none of these things.
--Is Obama Black Enough?
Time: Feb 1 2007
The Democratic hopeful Barack Obama could become the US's first black president. Yet, with his mixed-race background, Ivy League education and midwestern accent, one of his greatest challenges has been convincing African-Americans that he is 'one of us'.
--Is Barack Obama Black Enough?
The Guardian: Gary Younge, March 1 2007
That was the question 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft posed to Obama in an interview that aired on Sunday. Kroft asked the biracial senator why he considered himself black even though he was raised in a white household. Obama responded by telling Kroft that he never decided to be black: “I think if you look African-American in this society, you’re treated as an African-American.”
--Is Obama Black enough?
Columbia Journalism Review, Sarah Sarmah Feb 15 2007
It was as if American Liberalism had regressed 250 years, to the days of the mulatto, quadroon and octoroon.
The terms mulatto, quadroon, and octoroon originated with the racial policies of European colonizers in the Americas, especially the Spanish. Because civil rights and responsibilities were based directly on the degree of European blood that a person had, such classifications were highly elaborated, and minor distinctions in ancestry were carefully recorded. While these terms have highly precise definitions, in actual practice they were often used based on impressions of skin color rather than definite knowledge of ancestry.Conservatives mostly commented on the media's interest in a non-question. The question itself was absurd, as was the liberal's fascination with it. If Obama held conservative positions on the issues, he could have been a bright blue.
--Ask.com: Octoroon
"Black enough" non-questions are best left to be considered by the liberal Left. Those that practice racial identity politics are better equipped to comment on that which is familiar.
Apparently, liberals decided that Barack Obama was "black enough". The question disappeared and won't be seen again--unless Obama does something to anger a segment of the black population.
In which case, it will be like waving a red flag to a bull--and liberals will get to play their favorite game once again.
