We have had a virtual news blackout on what is going on in the two states we're waiting for -- Missouri's presidential results, and Alaska's senatorial results. Here is what I managed to find out.
Welcome to our annual awards! For the past three years, this column has paid homage (translation: "ripped off their gimmick") to the McLaughlin Group...
Keith Olbermann has the temerity to ask if it's too late to sell Alaska back to the Russians -- repeatedly. America's liberal boy-wonder is breaking up with me.
Obviously, most of what you've been reading, hearing and seeing in the media lately has been about politics. But that doesn't mean that nothing new h...
What happens when Ted Stevens is kicked out of office? Why, the Alaskan Governor herself gets to appoint a replacement. There's nothing stopping Ms. Palin from appointing the reflection in her mirror.
100 Holiday Wishes. This is my holiday wish list. May they all come true.
Sarah's first thankfulness was "I'm thankful for this turkey, and also too for the metal funnel thingy that cut the turkey's head clean off while it was flapping its wings trying to get out and all. That was fun."
Setting aside whether or not a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate is a good or bad thing, the undecided races at this hour are quickly summarized below.
We're supposed to believe that overall participation decreased by 11%. This historic election both nationally and for Alaska had the lowest Alaska turnout for a presidential race ever!?! Something stinks.
Hey, this is another really good effort from Sunlight Foundation. You can check out links like the following: Senator Ted Stevens, currently the sub...
Candidates endorsed or "A" rated by he NRA suffered losses in every region of the nation, up and down the ballot, losing not only the White House, but also at least six crucial races for the U.S. Senate.
Before the Democrats give in to the demands of red state senators who foolishly think they will gain something if they force Detroit into bankruptcy, I hope that the Democratic leadership makes them filibuster.
The honeymoon was over before it started. Sorry. To see more of August J. Pollak's cartoon "Some Guy With a Website," check out the archive....
This week Senator Ted Stevens was indicted for accepting gifts from oil companies. It turns out John McCain gave him some advice on how to fight the charges. That correspondence has been leaked to the press.
The money we spend in Iraq in about 40 minutes would feed one million needy American families for a month.
We, the taxpayers, will be the ones to pay the bill when it comes due.

This is not an answer to the question :
{{{{{{
Actually, it is.. You just don't like the answer.

Is there any evidence that Ayers killed anyone? I ACCEPT that you believe the Weather Underground was a terrorist org. I just haven't heard or read anything which points to this org. or Ayers as having killed any innocent people before it fizzled out. No need to be somewhat testy here.

As one of the leaders and founders of the organization, Ayers is responsible for the actions of the organization. Just as Osama Bin Laden may not have actually killed anyone personally, that doesn't mean he is not a terrorist. As the leader of the organization, Al Qaeda's actions are Bin Laden's actions.
Further more, simply not having personally killed anyone doesn't make Ayers any less of a terrorist. The fact is him and his organization TRIED to kill people.
They were simply incompetent at it..
Incompetence is not a defense against being a terrorist..
Michale.....
I am so sorry about your math skills...Do you remember Iraq where by gum we safeguarded the OIL MINISTRY and VIRTUALLY gave away the Makings for the IEDS....Of course Bush was not responsible...Tell me do you think he is the Great Decider (kind of like the Great and Almighty OZ) or where does the buck stop?
Which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the issue of Ayers being a terrorist...
Michale.....
I sincerely accept your right to label Ayers a terrorist. I sincerely accept your right to label the Weather Underground a terrotist org. When you say ... "... Ayers was incompetent and didn't kill as many innocent people as BinLaden ..." , it suggests and implies that Ayers specifically killed another person/persons. And again, I am not aware of any evidence which indicates that either Ayers or the Weather Underground as a whole ever killed any innocent people. Like I said, maybe I missed something in my own research that you may not have missed. If so, I'd like to hear it.
You miss my point..
Ayers didn't personally kill anyone..
Ayers organization DID cause the death of 3 people. But they were terrorists, so I really don't care about them..
But the simple fact is, Ayers and his organization DID have the will AND the desire to kill innocent people. They failed to do so, simply because they were incompetent..
Regardless of all that, one doesn't have to kill people to be a terrorist...
