John R. Silber, Boston University’s seventh president for a quarter of a century, and a one-time candidate for governor of Massachusetts, died early this morning at the age of 86, the campus said today. “Boston University has lost a great leader,” said current BU president Robert A. Brown in a letter sent today. “In the seven years I have served this wonderful institution, I have come to appreciate the magnitude of John’s work. We speak of the university as a great private, residential, research institution with international reach.

Becerra: Offset sequester
by getting other countries

Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) said on Wednesday that one possible idea for offsetting the pending defense cuts under the sequester is to ask that other countries help pay the costs of the U.S. military presence abroad. Becerra, who is vice chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, said that getting other countries to chip in or even closing down overseas military bases altogether are ways that both parties could agree to as a way to avoid reductions in U.S. national security. "We've become the cop of the world and yet this cop doesn't

CARACAS, Venezuela -- Liliana Carias used to hope President Hugo Chavez would change her life. Not anymore. She's been living for years in a dirt-floor shack without running water, and after voting for Chavez in the last three presidential elections, the single mother of four said she's tired of waiting for help. She was among thousands of people who cheered for the president's rival recently in the serpentine streets of Caracas' Petare slum, which used to be a bastion of support for Chavez. She held out a handwritten letter addressed to "My future President Henrique Capriles," the opposition challenger,

For months Mitt Romney has focused his presidential campaign around the failing economy and his message seems to be resonating with voters. A new Rasmussen Report shows voters expect the economy to get better if Mitt Romney wins in November. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 34% of Likely U.S. Voters think the economy is likely to get better if President Obama is reelected and Democrats regain full control of Congress, marking little change from early July when the two sides ran nearly even.

During a speech at Ohio University in Athens, OH on September 8, Vice President Joe Biden led his audience to believe he had been a college football player for his alma mater -- Delaware University -- and had played against Ohio University in a 1963 football game. His words contradicted his own memoir, in which he wrote he gave up playing football while at Delaware, and Internet records of past Delaware football team rosters, on which he is not listed. On fanbase.com, a site that archives college football rosters, Biden is not listed on Delaware's 1961, 1962, 1963, or

In fact, they may be the key demographic.(snip)"As a pro-life woman and a Catholic, I am appalled," Cleveland Right to Life President Molly Smith said in a release. "Our Church is under attack by the most liberal, pro-abortion leadership in history. The Cleveland Catholic Diocese is missing a great teaching and unifying opportunity by responding in this manner." According to Smith's group, "Faithful Citizenship meetings were organized by the Diocese of Cleveland with the goal of aiding Catholics in preparing themselves to vote this November.

Obama Is Trying To Buy The
Hispanic And Female Vote With
Another Government Giveaway - Thread Closed

Now that the polls say that President Barack Obama’s poll numbers with women and the Hispanics in the United States aren’t as exceedingly high as they were previously, there is suddenly a new benefit to the farming community who are either female or Hispanic, who feel they were discriminated against. How ironic that this benefit to females and Hispanics is being offered right before President Obama’s reelection date. One might logically think that the timing of this benefit to these groups – who vote – is planned to sway their presidential election vote on November 6.

At the Washington Post this morning, Glenn Kessler posts a collection of the Obama administration’s evolving statements on Libya and some important reporting of facts surrounding the attacks. “This has been a difficult week for the State Department and for our country. We’ve seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with. It is hard for the American people to make sense of that because it is

After a light day of campaigning today in Virginia, President Barack Obama returns to the White House at 2:10 p.m., according to the president's public schedule. Obama has nothing else on his schedule for the remainder of the day. Yet, according to the White House, President Obama still has no intention of meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was not able to get the meeting with Obama he requested. Netanyahu is in America for the United Nations General Assembly. But Obama may allow for time to talk on the phone with Netanyahu tomorrow.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has ignored congressional inquiries about an expensive program, which the Government Accountability Office recommended she cancel, that hides Obamacare cuts to Medicare Advantage until after the presidential election. HHS has spent $8.3 billion on a demonstration project that, in theory, “test[s] whether a tiered bonus structure would produce better results” by providing bonuses to insurance companies. “The G.A.O. said the project ‘dwarfs all other Medicare demonstrations’ in its impact on the budget, but is so poorly designed that researchers could not tell whether the bonus payments

Attention media: Protests, sometimes violent, are still going on outside our embassies and consulates. Bangkok, Thailand: Hundreds of Thai Muslims gathered in front of the United States embassy in Bangkok on Thursday (September 27) for the third time in as many weeks to protest against an anti-Islam film. Several hundred protesters crammed the streets in front of the embassy, which remained open. Police confirmed 300 officers were dispatched to the embassy to monitor the crowd.

Alec Baldwin has a stern warning for the country. "America will never be great again under a Romney administration," the volatile actor sonorously intoned in a recent, rambling Huffington Post screed. If Mitt Romney is elected, Baldwin tells us, only "rich people" will find the country great. "Everyone else will be asked to dial down their [sic] expectations of what it means to be an American, again," he warns. It is clear that Baldwin isn't paying attention to his fellow Americans because as a nation we are already lowering our expectations for the future.

Obama can still count
on black voters

A large majority of black Americans who head to the polls in November will vote for President Obama, but the question is whether they will turn out in the numbers he needs given the election lacks the symbolism of the 2008 contest. Obama, who has rarely spoken of race since his election, has faced criticisms that he failed to tackle black unemployment, which was 14.1 percent in August, compared with 8.1 percent overall. His opponent, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, formed a Black Leadership Council this month to try to connect with black voters on economic issues.

Why you shouldn't vote for Obama

It has been said that a democratic republic such as ours is a do-it-yourself enterprise. People change the course of this country through conversation, debate and, eventually, consensus. As the 2012 elections near, these debates, particularly the upcoming presidential and vice presidential debates, take center stage. In light of what has been a long and tumultuous political season, here are my strongest arguments for Mitt Romney, Rep. Paul Ryan, and fellow conservatives to explain to their fellow Americans why President Barack Obama does not deserve a second term.

New Jersey could become

A New Jersey lawmaker has proposed a right-to-die law for that state's terminally ill people which, if passed, would make the state the third in the nation after Oregon and Washington to allow those with deadly diseases the chance to end their own suffering. The Death With Dignity Act would allow a "qualified patient to self-administer medication to end life in a humane and dignified manner," said the bill, introduced this week by Democratic Assemblyman John Burzichelli (D-Gloucester). But as the Star-Ledger noted, it would not be easy to qualify to receive life-ending drugs.

Retiring Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said he once tried a pot-infused brownie — and it made him sleepy. Frank is an advocate of legalizing and taxing marijuana, but he said Wednesday night that he does not regularly use the illegal drug. "No, I don't," Frank told CNN when asked if he smoked marijuana. “I smoke a cigar or two a day. I did have a brownie once. It made me sleepy.” Frank went on to say that he thought the drug should be legalized as an issue of fairness, pointing out the effects

Obama left the U.N. before he arrived and is spending most of Thursday campaigning in Virginia. The White House rejected an Israeli request for Netanyahu to meet Obama, either at the U.N. or in Washington -

Well you weren't expecting that, were you? When the American contingent decided that it wasn't going to listen to the UN speech of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran yesterday, it wasn't because they were going to get a lecture on the principles of Twelver Shi'ism. They can't have foreseen (can they?) that Mr Ahmadinejad would get through an entire half hour without any reference to wiping Israel off the map, Jewish evil, or 9/11 conspiracy theories. He didn't even talk about that video. Instead, he gave us a lecture about the return of the Mahdi, the Shia Messiah, in the

As much as this video does to prove the dangers inherent in Barack Obama’s far left extremism that has come at the cost of TRILLIONS of dollars that will quite possibly cripple the economic future of this country’s children and grandchildren, there is also something clearly very sad in seeing a human being so devoid of pride, reason, and personal responsibility and sharing their reasoning for why Obama should be given another four more years. Just keep the “free” stuff that we all must pay for coming, eh? This is Obama’s America

US economy grows
less than thought

Growth in the US economy between April and June has been revised downwards. Gross domestic product (GDP) in the second quarter grew at an annual rate of 1.3% in the second quarter, down from the previous estimate of 1.7%. One of the reasons for the cut was the worst drought for 50 years, which cut farm inventories, the Commerce Department said. Analysts said that the figures available for the third quarter suggested even slower growth. Figures on Thursday showed that demand for long-lasting manufactured goods, known as durable goods, fell sharply in August. Official figures showed that durable goods

The meaning of reams of new data from groundwater testing in a remote Wyoming gas field where the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sparked concern last year will be a matter of interpretation. Does the new science shore up damnation of hydraulic fracturing — the petroleum industry practice of blasting water, sand and chemicals deep beneath the water table? Or does it refute criticism of the technique as too much anxious hand-wringing? No one is making either claim yet.
