Obama?s Friend, America?s Enemy
Have you ever been a friend or business associate of a terrorist? Not someone who, to your shock and horror, turned out secretly to have bombed government buildings. No, the question is whether you?ve ever befriended an unreconstructed radical whose past was well known to you when you entered his orbit and walked through doors he opened for you. Have you been chummy with an unapologetic terrorist who, years after you?d known and worked closely with him, was still telling the New York Times he regretted only failing to carry out more attacks ? and that America still ?makes me want to puke?? Barack Obama has.

Wrestling over Judges
Dwayne ?The Rock? Johnson may be called on to play John Roberts in Bush?s Court: The Movie.

EDITORIAL: Fired up over local shooting park
A group of northwest valley homeowners filed a lawsuit against Clark County on Monday, attempting to stop the construction of a shooting park so far north of town that it abuts a mountain. If these homeowners were to succeed in getting the shooting park killed, have they considered the alternative? Would they really like thousands of local shooters to return to their traditional plinking in the draws and gullies on which these new homes now encroach -- without any of the added safety provisions being designed into the new park?

Obama?s Aim
In 2007, Senator Barack Obama stood up for a gun owner. He endorsed Chicago Alderman Dorothy Tillman in her Democratic primary. Not only was she a gun owner, but she had even pulled a gun on her colleagues during a contentious 1991 ward redistricting hearing, according to eyewitnesses. It would be only a slight exaggeration to say that this was the strongest effort Obama has ever made to support gun rights.

Obama`s summer of discontent
The latest polls ought to alarm Barack Obama. The Illinois senator desperately needs to change the narrative of the last few months - and this week`s Democratic convention is a good opportunity. Since he captured the nomination in June, he has made a string of costly errors which have resulted in squandering his previous lead over John McCain.

Party`s Left Pushes for a Seat at the Table
Walk into almost any hotel here this week and you can find an odd sight: Liberal Democrats starting their day by lobbying moderate and conservative Democrats. The lobbyists are members of the Progressive Democrats of America, an activist group working to keep the party true to liberal priorities, and they have been assigned to every hotel housing Democratic convention delegates.

In Denver, Deep Doubts About Obama
And after two hours of talking, and a pre-convention buildup here in Denver in which Democrats have received lots of positive coverage in this critical swing state, you?d have to say that the news is pretty good for McCain. The undecideds have plenty of problems with him, and they can?t stand George W. Bush, but they seem more deeply concerned about Obama than McCain, because they have still not answered the threshold question about the Democratic nominee: Is he ready?
