Edwards Throws Support to Obama -- Hillary Clinton hardly got a chance to enjoy her crushing victory in West Virginia before former presidential candidate John Edwards stole the headlines by backing Barack Obama for president. The endorsement is no doubt welcome in the Obama camp as it brings in a few more delegates and a stamp of approval from a populist in tune with constituencies that are hesitant to back the Illinois senator. By the same token, had this come two months ago, it would have spared the nation and the Democratic Party no end of pain.
Bush Takes Swipe at Obama’s Foreign Policy -- President George “LBJ” Bush set a new low for himself yesterday while speaking at the Israeli Knesset as part of the celebrations of Israel’s founding 60 years ago. He effectively called Senator Barack Obama an appeaser, suggesting that to talk to an enemy is to yield to the enemy. What was especially sad was seeing a solemn event between two nations turn into a campaign stop for the GOP. Icahn to Fit Yahoo Board over Microsoft Bid -- Billionaire and shareholder activist Carl Icahn has announced that he is putting together a rival slate of directors to replace Yahoo’s existing board. His reason is the rather stupid move by the board to reject Microsoft’s offer of $33 a share, a 72% premium over the market price. Mr. Icahn deserves to win. Crazy Rasberry [sic] Ants Invade Houston -- The headline looks like a very bad 1950s sci-fi film. It isn’t, though. A new species of ant has hit the greater Houston area, and they are actually called 'crazy rasberry ants' -- rasberry with out a "p." The Associated Press says, “The hairy, reddish-brown creatures are known as ‘crazy rasberry ants’ - crazy, because they wander erratically instead of marching in regimented lines, and ‘rasberry’ after Tom Rasberry, an exterminator who did battle against them early on.” These little guys are getting everywhere, even into computers as they have a fondness for electricity. © Copyright 2008 by The Kensington Review, Jeff Myhre, PhD, Editor.
