Man rips head from Hitler wax figure Sat Jul 5, 8:08 AM ET BERLIN (Reuters) - A man tore the head from a controversial waxwork figure of Adolf Hitler on the opening day of Berlin's Madame Tussauds museum, police said. Just minutes after the museum opened, the 41-year-old German man pushed aside two security men guarding the exhibit. "Then he went over to the figure and ripped off the head," a

Somehow this Onion story made it into the US News & World Report... GOP Envisions Gephardt as Possible Obama Running Mate By Paul Bedard Wed Jul 2, 12:56 PM ET Republican strategists trying to game Sen. Barack Obama's choice for a running mate are focusing more and more on the possibility that he might pick former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt, a friend of labor and blue-collar workers. "

Clark's NOT backing down on his completely accurate, innocuous and totally defensible statement. Doesn't this guy know how to be a Democrat? There are many important issues in this Presidential election, clearly one of the most important issues is national security and keeping the American people safe. In my opinion, protecting the American people is the most important duty of our next President.

I am an unabashed member of the Wes Clark Fan Club, and this is the reason why: Watch Clark as he buries Bush, Lieberman, McCain and dismantles the incoming crap from Schiffer all while making the best possible case for Obama with ease and clarity. He needs to be front and center as a leading surrogate for Obama. Nobody does it better. I would give him strong consideration for VP (brief bio

Two fantastic posts that sum up the conflict over Obama and FISA. Conflict? Yes, the one within my head and the one playing out on the blogosphere... First Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald should be everybody's go-to guy on all matters Constitutional and law-talkin'. A phenomenal legal mind, Greenwald can at times get bogged down in legal details and be a bit cumbersome to read. He also is perhaps a

Join the this MyBarackObama.com group at Obama's campaign site to send him a message that we are paying attention to his FISA vote, and are not happy with his planned support. I don't think it will change his vote—now that he's come out and announced his intention, I'm not sure he'll publicly reverse—but it is important to let the campaign know that they have a continued obligation to the people

You've probably heard that John McCain is a self-professed "computer illiterate" that relies completely on his wife to turn this "confounded thing on, dagnabbit"...Is it a problem that McCain not only didn't invent the internet, but is actually barely aware of it? Recently McCain's spokesman was forced to defend his candidate: “You don’t actually have to use a computer to understand how it

Shorter Paul Krugman: "President Bush once said “Owning a home lies at the heart of the American dream.” Since one of Obama's advisors also once said something about home ownership being good, today's column tries to loosely link the two and is about how home ownership is risky and bad."

More balls than 105 current Democratic Representatives... Pay attention, Senator Obama. UPDATE That's the video she shot, but she accompanied it with this: Honestly, I don't understand why at this point any member of Congress would think it was a good idea to give George Bush the power to grant immunity to anyone he wants around warrantless wiretapping - and to cover all tracks in the process

Shamelessly lifted straight from Slate.com. (Don't sue me, Kinsley) The Barack Obama presidential campaign introduced a new site last week, FightTheSmears.com, that it hopes will debunk persistent myths about the senator: that he's a Muslim, that he won't say the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. As we have argued before, restating the myths often reinforces them, no matter how persuasively they've been

Andrew Sullivan fails to discern the difference between The McCain Myth and reality: The notion that Barack Obama has no bipartisan achievements in the Congress is untrue and unfair [...] But it is equally true that the kind of bipartisan initiatives that McCain has pioneered have had much more far-reaching scope and were more likely to piss off his own party.
