Caracas, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez held a 10-point lead over rival Henrique Capriles in one of the final polls ahead of Venezuela's Oct. 7 election, but the survey released Tuesday showed the challenger narrowing the gap. The poll by Datanalisis, one of Venezuela's most respected polling firms, found that about 49 percent said they intend to vote for Chavez and about 39 percent said they plan to vote for Capriles. About 11 percent didn't reveal a preference, said Luis Vicente Leon, a director of the polling firm.

Cairo - An Egyptian court has convicted three Islamists of killing a student this summer as he sat in a quiet park with his fiancée, sentencing them to 15 years in prison in a case that sparked fears of vigilantes trying to enforce strict religious mores. The state-owned Middle East News Agency said the Tuesday verdict was read out in a heavily-guarded courtroom in the Red Sea city of Suez, where 20-year-old Ahmed Hussein Eid was killed in June. According to security officials at the time, three bearded men argued with Eid for loitering in the park with a woman

I didn’t think that exchange over her heritage at the debate last week had drawn any blood, but evidently it did. There’s no way her team would waste resources in addressing this subject unless they didn’t like the feedback they got afterward. And if that doesn’t convince you, check out the second clip below: Brown is now running attack ads on it. (Snip) The defense, incidentally, is predictable: Brown’s not attacking her, he’s attacking her family. The monster.

N. Carolina paper calls on

A North Carolina newspaper is calling on President Obama to punish cabinet secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who was found in violation of the Hatch Act earlier this month for giving a political speech while conducting official business in the Tar Heel state. An editorial published Tuesday in The Gaston Gazette of Gastonia, North Carolina declares, “Either we should enforce the Hatch Act or take it off the books.” “Although unlikely to happen, the secretary should be punished for her transgression,” the newspaper’s editorial said. “Her activities set a poor example for other federal employees.”

My Dear Friends, In a follow up to my article last week, I ask you to watch this! [video follows] Now, there could be several points of view. Perhaps this is some CIA misinformation video to cause Islamophobia -- or some vast right wing conspiracy, or Christians are responsible -- or no, maybe it's none of these. Maybe it's ... that's it, the Jews, they are behind it! There they go again! Or what if it is just as the video depicts? What then?

The missiles were fired simultaneously and hit a "big target" the size of a warship, sinking it within 50 seconds, Gen. Ali Fadavi of the powerful Revolutionary Guard was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars news agency. The Fars report late Monday was the first indication of an Iranian military exercise taking place simultaneously and close to U.S.-led joint naval maneuvers in the Persian Gulf, including mine-sweeping drills, which got under way last week.

Wash. Post coverage of Ahmadinejad:
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in New York, using a convenient UN platform to vent his threats to eliminate Israel. But you wouldn't know that by reading the Washington Post's coverage. In its Sept. 25 edition, the Post runs an egregiously benign article about the Iranian leader, with a six column headline that captures the flavor of correspondent Anne Gearan's spin: "Iran's president accuses Israel of 'threatening' U.S." (top of page A10). Gearan's Ahmadinejad apologia focuses almost entirely on his attempts to paint Israel as the villain, while ignoring Iran's ongoing genocidal threats against the Jewish state.

New York - The Seattle Seahawks’ last-second win over the Green Bay Packers may be the watershed moment that leads to a labor agreement between the National Football League and its locked-out officials, according to sports labor professors. (Snip) “The result of the game is final,” the NFL said in its statement explaining the ruling. It was exactly the kind of conclusion, one determined by officiating, that might lead the league to find a way to reach a deal with the NFL Referees Association before any further damage is done to the game, said Paul Haagen, a professor of sports

Roger Goodell is hearing from disgruntled NFL fans Tuesday morning, thanks at least in part to a Wisconsin state senator who tweeted the commissioner's office phone number after the Green Bay Packers apparently were robbed of a victory by replacement officials on "Monday Night Football." Jon Erpenbach, a Democrat who has represented the 27th Senate District since 1999, posted a series of messages via Twitter after the chaotic ending to Seattle's 14-12 victory over the Packers, during which Seahawks' receiver Golden Tate was award a touchdown catch on the final play of the game

A crowd braved cold, wet weather Tuesday afternoon to hear from Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Tuesday on the tarmac outside Wright Brothers Aero in Vandalia. Romney, running mate U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-KY are at the rally as part of the campaign’s bus tour of Ohio. Ryan earlier attended a rally in Cincinnati and the plane he arrived in near the stage on the tarmac.

More than nine months after Boko Haram, an Islamist terror organization in Nigeria, demanded that Christians immediately vacate the northern states of that African nation, Christians are continuing to be murdered while the government struggles to wage a campaign against the destabilizing guerrilla forces. The most recent attack perpetrated by members of Boko Haram took place in the northern city of Bauchi, when a car bomb was detonated by its driver at the gates of St. John’s Church. For years, Boko Haram — a name which means “Western education is sinful” in the Hausa language — has waged a campaign

New York City - Mitt Romney said Tuesday that the United States must rethink how it awards foreign aid, and should work more with the private sector to nurture free enterprise and open economies in developing nations. (Snip) Romney called the United States the most charitable nation in the world, but said sometimes aid money has not been used effectively. In 2011, the U.S. government provided about $30 billion in development assistance, more than twice as much as the second most generous country, Germany. But the U.S. was 19th on the donor list if aid dollars are considered as a

Kabul - Police in Afghanistan have arrested five people over the public flogging of a 16-year-old girl for allegedly having an affair, an official said on Tuesday. The girl, who has been named only as Sabera, was whipped 100 times in front of village elders and family members in Jaghuri district of Ghazni province on 9 September and is said to be in poor health. "Police have arrested five people in connection with the case.'' (Snip) The flogging was reportedly ordered by a cleric. The girl's alleged boyfriend was fined $1 600.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Willie Nelson has proven to be one of America's most prolific songwriters. Turns out he's no slouch when it comes to memoirs, either: He has a new one due in November. Nelson will release "Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die" on Nov. 13.

Gold is not just a lunatic

Gold is often derisively referred to as an investment that only kooks who are preparing for the end of the world in a bunker can love. But it might be time to stop with all the gold bashing. Sure, plans to return to the gold standard may still seem a bit extreme. (Sorry Ron Paul and your loyal minions!) Yet if you look at the reason why gold has done so well lately, it seems logical to expect the price of the yellow metal could continue to climb, blow past its current all-time high (not adjusted for inflation) of about

Scientists returning from a seaborne expedition to the Arctic say that the ongoing panic in some quarters regarding runaway emissions of methane from the chilly polar seas - and associated imminent global-warming disaster - appears to be unjustified. For those unacquainted with this particular panic, the idea is that rising Arctic sea temperatures caused by humans in recent times are causing methane locked up as hydrates on the chilly seabed to be emitted into the atmosphere as gas – as methane hydrates are only stable at very low temperatures and high pressures.

After nearly two years of support from the Obama administration for the “Arab Spring” movement that Islamists used to gain power, the new president of Egypt is rewarding his American ally with the retort: “You’re not an ally — you’re a friend.” A September 22 article for the New York Times highlights a host of problems with the relationship between the United States and Egypt with its headline: “Egypt’s New Leader Spells Out Terms for U.S.-Arab Ties.” (Snip) Morsi’s retort comes in the midst of growing anti-American rhetoric and rioting sweeping through the Muslim world, and stands as proof that

A few more “really bad weeks” like last week for Mitt Romney and somebody will have to stick a fork in President Obama. He’ll be done. Despite the hammering Mr. Romney took from the president and his media claque, he moved from 5 or 6 points behind in the Gallup Poll to a dead-even tie at the end of the week. Rasmussen, whose different methodology has made it consistently the most reliable of the polls, called the race dead-even as well. The president still leads in several of the swing states, so-called, but in some of those his lead is shrinking.

Chevy Volt Battery Plant Floundering

Another in a long list of Obama-touted and tax-supported "green energy" companies is on the verge of going out of business, this time in Michigan. Two years ago, President Obama visited the LG Chem battery plant in Holland, Michigan. He then hailed the plant, saying, "You are leading the way in showing how manufacturing jobs are coming right back here to the United States of America." But today, those LG Chem jobs Obama claimed were "coming back" are seeing intermittent layoffs instead of growth. In 2010, the plant, which supplies batteries for the Chevy Volt, received $151 million in tax

New York - The bad Karma continues for hybrid car maker Fisker. Consumer Reports slammed Fisker's flagship luxury plug-in, the Karma, on Tuesday, calling it "plagued with flaws." (Snip) "Although we found its ride, handling and braking performance sound and it has first-class interior materials, the Karma's problems outweighed the good," said Jake Fisher, director of the Consumer Reports Auto Test Center, in a statement. The Karma broke down on the Consumer Reports test track as a result of battery problems. Fisker subsequently offered replacement battery packs for all 2012 models, though Consumer Reports said its engineers had still noticed

The NFL has released a statement regarding the final play of the Seattle Seahawks' victory over the Green Bay Packers in which the league endorses the actions made by the replacement officials and the replay review after the ruling of touchdown on Golden Tate's catch Monday night. The key word being "after." As for the before, the wording is kind of fuzzy. (Snip) The statement admits the ruling of a catch should've been nullified because of the pass interference penalty that was missed when Tate shoved Packers defensive back Sam Shields in the back before leaping.

An open letter from a 9/11 survivor to President Obama requesting that the president cease invoking the death of Osama bin Laden as a re-election tool has been answered with a completely unrelated form response from the White House. That response, provided to The Daily Caller, did not include a single reference to Army Major David King’s objections and instead reminded him that, “Each day, I hear from concerned men and women who are struggling in this economy.” What follows is an 1100-word insistence that Obama is attempting to turn the economy around.

Addressing the representatives of the United Nations General Assembly in a time of global crisis, President Barack Obama opted to legitimize the growing chorus of critics who condemn America’s provocative right of free speech. The president’s address to the world was anything but a full-throated defense of American values. It was, instead, an abundantly disappointing abdication of his responsibility to defend the cherished freedoms of the nation he leads. Speaking to the assembled delegates of the nations of the world, Obama addressed the crisis in the Middle East – one ongoing since the publication of cartoons of the

George Stephanopoulos and Barbara Walters on Tuesday fawned over the "fun," loving marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama. Walters appeared on Good Morning America to promote the President's appearance on The View. Stephanopoulos, a former Democratic operative, hyped Walters' "lighter stuff." He gushed, "The President seemed to mix politics and fun, when he talked about coaching his daughter's basketball team." Walters was positively impressed with the couple: "He's funny. She says she's funnier. But he's very relaxed with her." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
