- New Democratic campaign slogan
I just watched the rerun of last night's Daily Show on Comedy Central. John Stewart's guest was Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine, who unveiled a new anti-Republican campaign slogan: "Don't give them the keys back." Stewart countered with a suggestion of his own: "We suck less." Once again, Stewart is spot on! Gary BaumgartenHost - News Talk OnlineDirector of News and Programming 
- Indonesian president asks Obama to block Koran burning
By GARY BAUMGARTEN
Paltalk News Network
It's now become an international incident - the planned burning of Korans by a Gainesville church on September 11. The president of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, is imploring President Obama to intervene and stop it.
The problem, of course, is that he can't. He can, as he has as recently as this morning, speak out against it. But it's protected

- Detroit burning
This kind of thing generally occurs mainly the night before Halloween. Devil's Night, it's called in Detroit.
But on Devil's night, arsonists are to blame. Tonight, I'm told, it's high winds downing sparking power lines. The result, however, is the same.
The Fire Notification Network of Michigan is reporting seven dwellings on fire off Van Dyke on the city's east side. And numerous other fires, 
- What would you call football?
I'm sitting in a Buffalo Wild Wings watching the Boise State-Virginia Tech game and an Israeli friend said "I still don't understand why you call it football." He, of course, adheres to the firm belief that what we call soccer is football and what we call football is undeserving of the name because they rarely kick the ball.
OK, so then what should we call it?
Throwball? Catchball? That 
- Backlash to Time magazine piece on Israel
There's some backlash today over a Time magazine cover story, "Why Israel Doesn't Care About Peace." The piece suggests that Israelis are too busy enjoying their lives to worry about the peace process, an unfair assertion, argues Avi Perry, author of 72 Virgins and host of a show at 7 PM New York time Mondays on the Paltalk News Network Gary BaumgartenHost - News Talk OnlineDirector of News and 
- Obama pushes new 'non-stimulus' stimulus package
By GARY BAUMGARTEN Paltalk News NetworkGod-forbid they call it a stimulus package or use the words "shovel ready." But the White House is pushing for more infrastructure spending. Although, statistically, the stimulus program saved some three million jobs, or so we're told, the general feeling among Americans is that the Obama administration failed to deliver. Economic recovery has been slower 
- CW Post
I never realized how beautiful the CW Post campus on Long Island was until I took a walking tour today.
This is the mansion - I thought a pretty breathtaking view.
I'd say I'd like to live there, but there are too many bathrooms to clean! 
- Where have all the businesses gone?
By GARY BAUMGARTEN Paltalk News NetworkA friend who lives on Manhattan's upper west side but who spent the summer in New England says she noticed it upon her return to the city. So many businesses in her neighborhood are closed. "The washer and dryer repair guy closed up shop," she said. "So did the 99 cent store. The only business that seems to be thriving is Starbucks." This may be an 
- More bad news for Democratic congressional candidates
The polling shows that many voters subscribe to the "throw the bums out" theory as the midterm elections approach.Which means they are looking to toss incumbents out. And since the Democrats hold the majority in the House of Representatives - that translates into Republican gains. We've previously explored the issue of voters already being more likely to vote for Republican than Democratic
