1) Iceland considers bankruptcy. From the International Herald Tribune:
People go bankrupt all the time. Companies do, too. But countries?
Iceland was on the verge of doing exactly that on Thursday as the government shut down the stock market and seized control of its last major independent bank. That brought trading in the country’s currency to a […]

1) Now, for your morning racism, from the So Predictable it’s a Snore Department,” the NY Observer says black Congressmen find Palin’s talk racist.
As the McCain campaign ratchets up the intensity of its attacks on Barack Obama, some black elected officials are calling the tactics desperate, unseemly and racist.
“They are trying to throw […]

But sadly, too many people choose to ignore it, or accept it, or just call you a racist for noticing it. But the pattern is there. It begins like this:
Obama has a friend or associate that is questionable.
Video or articles surface of Obama thanking them, supporting them, writing a blurb for their book, organizing events […]

Like many Democrats, I fell hard for Bobby Kennedy. Although I wasn’t born when he was killed, his memory is woven into the fabric of the Democratic Party. You couldn’t be a Democrat through the conservative revolution of the 1980s and 1990s without yearning for his voice of outrage.

Bumped up its original publication date of September 25th by SusanUnPC because it’s important to revisit LisaB’s important reporting — always highly objective and rational — on the employment of the “race card.” LisaB’s thoughtful observations are critically important to consider.

As this campaign begins its way-too-slow descent to November, I’m seeing more and more […]

(bumped up by SusanUnPC from its mid-September original spot — because it’s important to the discussion we’re having today. It’s a reminder of what No Quarter blog is about, and where we stand. I admire LisaB’s writing because she maintains an always rational, deliberative tone in her articles, and she can write about sensitive […]

January 19, 2008:
The Obama campaign has had a deliberate strategy of calling the Clinton campaign racist and the media has allowed itself to be led along. Obama himself confessed to this strategy in the Nevada debate when shown a copy of a campaign memo directing campaign workers to use race-bating to defame Hillary Clinton.
January 27, […]

Theodore Roosevelt stated, “Patriotism means to stand by your country. It does not mean to stand behind the president or any other public official.” There is no greater disservice that can be given to the hardworking citizens of our great nation, than the attempt to silence people and to have their rights taken away or […]

Pssst! I have a not-so-secret to tell you: Americans are getting real tired of being called racist simply for not supporting Obama.
Today, in yet another RITR (racism is the reason) piece, the Sun-Times says:
. . . The issue is really about modern-day “racial misgivings” rather than the straight-up, hate-filled “racism” we associate with […]

OK - I have more than had it from liberal women attacking Gov. Palin. Again, I hasten to add that I was always one clinging to the far LEFT corner of the Democratic Party, so no centrist or Republican am I. First it was Gloria Steinem, then it was Eve Ensler (and don’t let […]
