Barack Obama's Racist Church
If Sen. Obama rejects the Rev. Wright’s warped view of this country, why does he continue to attend his church?

U.S. could face another Dust Bowl era
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 3 (UPI) -- With ongoing drought, the American West may be entering a period when it will see dust storms on a scale to dwarf the 1930s Dust Bowl era, researchers say.
As evidence they point to the giant dust storms known as haboobs that hit Arizona last summer, some more than a mile high and 100 miles wide, that knocked out electricity, created traffic jams and grounded airplanes.
With Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and other states experiencing drought conditions, researchers worry this might just be the start of a trend, an article in EARTH magazine reports.
The problem, researchers said, is that rising temperatures will contribute directly and indirectly to there being more dust in the air.
Persistent droughts, increasingly violent and variable weather patterns, and urban and suburban development will compound the problem, they said.

Stronger Than a Presidential Veto - by Marc Tracy - Tablet Magazine ...
Each week, we select the most interesting Jewish obituary. This week, it’s that of Howard Wolpe, who for 14 years represented a Michigan district near Grand Rapids in the House. He was the prime mover behind the 1986 law that imposed sanctions on South Africa’s apartheid regime, an effort that involved passing it; having President Reagan veto it (he opposed sanctions); drafting and passing a watered-down version; having Reagan veto that ; and corralling a two-thirds super-majority to overturn the second veto. In 1984′s election, his Republican opponent campaigned against him in part by appealing to ministers to “send another Christian to Congress.” At least in his case, the South African majority must have been pleased that that appeal to ethnic solidarity failed.
