New mosque in Kentucky an oasis of calm |
Fla. pastor, imam at odds over Quran-burning deal Two religious leaders are at odds about whether a deal was struck to stop a Quran-burning at a tiny church in exchange for moving the location of a mosque planned near ground zero, with the church's pastor leaving the door open to still go through with his plan. |

Changes in Cuba?
Cuba's communist economic
model has come in for criticism from an unlikely source: Fidel Castro.
The revolutionary leader told a visiting American journalist and a U.S.-Cuba
policy expert that the
island's state-dominated system is in need of change, a rare comment on
domestic affairs

Big Dog Nails It
Former President Bill Clinton said Wednesday it would be a mistake for voters to give in to "anger, apathy and amnesia" and deprive Arkansas of the Senate Agriculture chairmanship by defeating Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln.
Apathy, Schmapathy — Dems Still Have To Vote!
Hey Dems, if you’re feeling disappointed, disgusted, and apathetic, you’re not
alone. I feel your pain, and so do lots of other Democrats.
The enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans is huge and growing every
day. And this could have dire results: Republicans, the very people who got us
into this mess, might very well take over both the House and the Senate.
You think you’re miserable now? Just imagine how depressed you’ll feel in
November, if Democrats are no-shows at the voting booths, handing both
Congressional houses over to the GOP.
That leads me to my latest limerick:
Apathy, Schmapathy — Dems Still Have To Vote!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The voters are feeling enraged.
Disappointment’s made Dems disengaged.
But a GOP win
Would be tragic — a sin.
So a voting war has to be waged.

The Unaccountables
During the past
week, as the US president Barack Obama announced the withdrawal of US combat
forces from Iraq, there was considerable media commentary focusing on the lies
that had been utilized to build public support for the war....Before the
invasion began, for example, Bill O’Reilly, a commentator of Fox News, wagered
“the best dinner in the gaslight district of San Diego that military action will
not last more than a week”.
A similarly euphoric (and ultimately equally misleading) statement by Bill
Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard, soon followed: “There is a
certain amount of pop psychology in America that the Shia can’t get along with
the Sunni . . . There’s almost no evidence of that at all.” Finally, journalist
Fred Barnes, another host of a program on Fox News, chimed in: “The war was the
hard part . . . It gets easier. I mean, setting up a democracy is hard, but not
as hard as winning a war.”

Stephen Colbert
A hot dog vending cart was
wheeled back and forth. Cocktail waitresses hurried past with trays full of
beer. Vice President Joe Biden led New York Yankees great Yogi Berra by the arm.
Such was the bizarre, red-white-and-blue circus backstage at comedian Stephen
Colbert's celebration of U.S. troops' return from Iraq. The Comedy Central host
pulled out all the stops Wednesday night for the first part of his two-episode
special,
"Been There: Won That: The Returnification of the American-Do Troopscape."

Legalizing Drugs in Mexico?
A debate about
legalizing marijuana and possibly other drugs — once a taboo suggestion — is
percolating in Mexico , a national exhausted by runaway violence and a deadly
drug war.
The debate is only likely to grow more animated if Californians approve an
initiative on Nov. 2 to legalize marijuana for recreational use in their state.
Mexicans are keeping a close eye on the vote,
seeing it as a bellwether.
