New York Post on the Islamic race.

I never promised you a rose garden. The house-and-garden deal raised questions about whether Mr Rezko, a property developer and fast-food restauranteur, made it possible for the Obamas to purchase a mansion they could otherwise not afford.Mrs Rezko paid the asking price for the garden but the Obamas bought the house for $1.65 million, – $300,000 less than the asking price.

At least that is what you might conclude from last weekend’s Rasmussen poll, which showed that John McCain had less core opposition than Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama: Barack Obama has the same number who will definitely vote for him (as McCain) — 34%. But, more people are committed to voting against him than McCain. Forty-three percent (43%) say they will definitely reject him at the ballot box. For 18%,

That headline from the New York Times caught my attention, but it turns out that Hillary Clinton will not be going after Barack Obama with the 5-point palm exploding heart technique. So I think she remains in trouble.  However, being in trouble is not the same as being out of the race. At RCP, Jay Cost observes: If she loses either Texas or Ohio next week – the race will end.

Buddhism’s holiest tree in Sri Lanka’s ancient capital, tightly guarded by monks and security forces after Tamil rebels attacked it 23 years ago, is under threat again — this time from monkeys. Pilgrims are frisked and scanned by metal detectors before being allowed to worship the “Sri Maha Bodi,” grown from a sapling of a tree in India that sheltered the Buddha when he attained enlightenment more than 2,550 years

Although Dan already mocked the NYT Obamartyrdom story this morning with an absurdist bent, I do have some uncool, professorial analysis of the story. The key passage is actually buried near the bottom of the inverted pyramid: That afternoon, Mr. Obama’s motorcade passed Dealey Plaza and the Texas Book Depository building, where the fatal shot was fired at President Kennedy in 1963.

Spengler at the Asian Times doesn’t like Obama, I guess: Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. In the Muslim world of the 1960s, nationalism rather than radical Islam was the ideology of choice among the enraged. Radical Islam did not emerge as a major political force until the nationalism of a Gamal Abdel Nasser or a Sukarno failed.        Well, that article might be

Rules that allow only the catching of larger fish may encourage their replacement with slower growing, more timid varieties. That, at least, is the concern of researchers who studied test populations in two artificial lakes and report their findings in this week’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. the opposite population pressure is operating within Western human societies.   O! the rape.
