Rove Says McCain Ads Go Too Far -- When Karl Rove says a campaign ad has gone too far, one must ask just what is the world coming to? On Fox yesterday, he said, “McCain has gone in his ads one step too far, and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100-percent-truth test. Both campaigns ought to be careful about... there ought to be an adult who says: ‘Do we really need to go that far in this ad? Don’t we make our point and get broader acceptance and deny the opposition an opportunity to attack us if we don’t include that one little last tweak in the ad’?”
Zimbabwe Rivals Reach Power Sharing Deal -- Months after the political crisis in Zimbabwe emerged, Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai cut a deal that gives them both a claim on power. While there were cheers inside the hotel where they signed the agreement, outside the rivals’ supporters were throwing rocks at one another. The road back to normality is a long one for Zimbabwe. Lehman Goes Broke, Merrill Sold, AIG Floundering -- It’s a tough day to be in the stock market. Lehman Brothers went out of business when no one wanted to buy it yesterday. Meanwhile, Merrill Lynch is now part of Bank of America after a $50 billion purchase was agreed. And insurance giant AIG may need a $40 billion loan from the Federal Reserve to stay afloat. Zambrano Throws Cubs’ First No-Hitter in 36 Years -- Thanks to Hurricane Ike, the Cubs first no-hitter since 1982 was played in Milwaukee rather than Houston. The Astros arrived just a few hours before the game. Meanwhile, a quick ride up I-94 allowed a lot of Cubs fans to turn the Brewers’ ballpark into Wrigley North. Carlos Zambrano still threw a heck of a game. © Copyright 2008 by The Kensington Review, Jeff Myhre, PhD, Editor. No part of this publication may be reproduced without written consent.
