Yes, it's another forward from Stratfor. With everyone distracted by the Olympics, Georgia, and national politics, I thought I'd pass this along to help remind people that there are still serious threats that we should stay aware of. I'm not saying the sky is falling, but we shouldn't relax our guard too much. Like they say at the end, "We are not attempting to hype anything here ...

Who does everyone think McCain will select as his running mate? The media is portraying Romney as the front runner. Will he select a woman to tap into the perceived Clinton supporters anger? I have also heard Colin Powell's name mentioned.

I had forgotten about this . Quote: I suspect everyone has the convention speeches wrong. Everyone expects Mr. Obama to rouse, but the speech I'd watch is Mr. McCain's. He's the one with the real opportunity, because no one expects anything. He's never been especially good at making speeches. (The number of men who've made it to the top of the GOP who...

Did anyone catch Nancy Pelosi going on and on about how Natural Gas is the replacement for fossil fuels? She kept saying, "The era of fossil fuels is over, and the era of Natural Gas is now." (or close). Hmmmmmm..........me thinks Natural Gas IS a fossil fuel....... Of course they tried to defend her and say, "Oh, she knows what Natural Gas is, she just misspoke." OH ...

I'm so tired of hearing about the DNC convention. I'm in Fort Collins and am near Denver quit often. If you live in Colorado chances are you've been hearing about the convention for probably 8 months now. For the last couple weeks, it's been non stop coverage of just the preperations for the darn thing. Its not the fact that it's for the Democrats, but the fact that thats all I've read about in ...

Interesting brewings going on in pre-convention Democratic news.

PLAYA. When I dream at night about the people I want to lead my country, that is the first image I see. OBAMA 08 BABY!

Looks like the guy who should have been the dem nominee is going to be the V.P. He has been pretty supportive of the war. It's amazing how Obama has gone from a platform based totally on his anti war stance to appointing Biden as V.P. Now that the dems have lost their one unifying theme (Iraq), I think it's going to be hard to regroup and create a coherent message of why people should support...
