London - Greece has reached a new deal with its international lenders, gaining two more years to make painful spending cuts and tax increases, and paving the way for the troubled nation to receive the next installment of bailout funding. A Greek finance ministry spokeswoman told CNN that the package of measures had been completed and Athens would be notifying the euro working group in the coming days, before presenting it to parliament in two draft bills next week.

A few readers have asked for my reaction to the news that climatologist Michael Mann has decided to proceed with his suit against NR, me, Rand Simberg and the Competitive Enterprise Institute for mocking his hockey stick. I’m still working on my formal, bland, carefully lawyered official response, so for now just let me do cheap ad hominem cracks. I was intrigued to see in Dr. Mann’s press release of his suit the following biographical detail: Dr. Mann is a climate scientist whose research has focused on global warming.

In the final scenes of the "nail-biting political thriller" Argo -- the true story of how the CIA safely whisked six U.S. Embassy staffers out of Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis -- a group of Americans disguised as a film crew safely survives three passport checks, the canceling and uncanceling of plane tickets, and a runway car chase by the Revolutionary Guard. But according to the insider account published in 1999 by the CIA's in-house journal, Studies in Intelligence, the actual exit was much less dramatic.

President Barack Obama has spent the campaign season trying to disqualify and tear down Mitt Romney, but a new study has found Obama's commercials actually energize voters to vote against the President, not his opponent. Evolving Strategies, a public opinion research firm, found GOP enthusiasm was 42 percent higher in 2012 than it was in 2008 for John McCain because "Democratic ads are goosing Republican enthusiasm." (Snip) But Romney's ads did not turn voters against him, while Obama's commercials did. Here are the Obama ads that were tested: A Medicare ad accusing Romney and Ryan of wanting to gut Medicare.

Mitt's 'quiet on Benghazi'
strategy is smart

Since Monday night's debate, I've heard scores of Romney supporters express disappointment and surprise that Mitt Romney did not hammer away at President Obama on growing scandal regarding the attacks in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans. But it likely wasn't a Romney gaffe — Romney's near-silence on Benghazi was on purpose.

Barack Obama has indicated that he believes his re-election prospects rest on a big turnout among Hispanic voters - not necessarily in support of him, but because they have been turned off by Republicans and Mitt Romney. He made his controversial remarks in a conversation with journalists which he demanded should be 'off the record' but which were made public after an editor complained about the unprecedented request. 'Should I win a second term, a big reason I will win a second term is because the Republican nominee and the Republican Party have so alienated the fastest-growing demographic group in the country

The White House this morning attempted to down-play the significance of emails sent to top national security officials during the attack on the diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, one of which suggested a known terrorist group claimed credit for the attack in its immediate aftermath. As obtained by ABC News’ John Parkinson and posted last night, the emails seem to be ones sent by the State Department Operations Center to distribution lists and email accounts for the top national security officials at the State Department, Pentagon, the FBI,

SUFFIELD, Conn. — Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel was denied a bid for freedom Wednesday at his first parole hearing since he was convicted a decade ago of killing his neighbor in 1975. Skakel, who proclaimed his innocence at the hearing, nodded and patted his attorney on the back after the three-person parole board read the unanimous decision. He will next be eligible for parole in 2017. Skakel is serving 20 years to life for fatally beating Martha Moxley with a golf club in Greenwich when they were 15. Skakel is a nephew of Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert F. Kennedy.

For days Donald Trump teased ahead to a big reveal about President Barack Obama, saying his announcement would be made with the best interest of the United States of America in mind. Basically, the announcement, made at noon, comes down to the birth certificate controversy and question of Obama’s college records. If Pres. Obama releases his college records and his passport records, then Trump says he will give a $5 million check to a charity. Trumps says he will release the check within an hour of receiving the records. The caveat, he says, is that they have to be submitted by Oct. 31.
