Cynthia McKinney - Just Another Expensive Kook

In case you are wondering what Cynthia McKinney is doing running for the Green Party nomination for President, here's a clue:

McKinney seems to be modeling her effort much along the lines of another African-American female presidential candidate from the 1990s Lenora Fulani. Fulani and her cult-like “New Alliance Party” never got more than a half-a-million votes. But they did qualify for millions in federal campaign matching funds.

In a U.S. News and World Report in 2002, Michael Barone pointed out:

Some three-quarters of McKinney's contributions came from people with Muslim or Arab names, most from outside Georgia. She received contributions from people under federal investigation for links to terrorists and from people who have voiced support for Hamas and other terrorist groups in the Middle East. In response to criticism, McKinney said she would not “racially profile” her contributors.

Cynthia McKinney is a money-grubbing nut who will do anything for continued fame and wealth - on her followers' dime.

Pearl Harbor Day Remembered

Today, is December 7, 2007...66 Years Later...

From the Naval Historical Center:

The 7 December 1941 Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor was one of the great defining moments in history. A single carefully-planned and well-executed stroke removed the United States Navy's battleship force as a possible threat to the Japanese Empire's southward expansion. America, unprepared and now considerably weakened, was abruptly brought into the Second World War as a full combatant.
Eighteen months earlier, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had transferred the United States Fleet to Pearl Harbor as a presumed deterrent to Japanese agression. The Japanese military, deeply engaged in the seemingly endless war it had started against China in mid-1937, badly needed oil and other raw materials.

NO on Prop 93 War Chest

from the NO on Prop 93 Campaign:

Some Tough Numbers for Fabian Nunez and Don Perata

Sacramento - NO on 93 Communications Director Kevin Spillane issued the following statement today:

The San Jose Mercury News recently conducted an illuminating analysis on the success rate of California ballot measures since 1998. While the analysis was completed for a different purpose it also says a great deal about the prospects for Proposition 93 on the Feb. 5th ballot.

The Mercury News found that of the 107 measures on the ballot since 1998, only 9 passed where opponents spent $1 million or more. The NO on 93 coalition now has a war chest of $4 million and growing.

The two pillars of the Nunez/Perata strategy to pass Proposition 93 are 1) the initiative's intentionally misleading Title and Summary description so that voters are fooled into thinking it toughens term limits and 2) an opposition that is unfunded.

That deceptive Title and Summary is still Prop. 93's biggest asset and it will take money to educate the voters about the cynical effort by California's legislative leadership to loosen term limits and remain in power. But the second pillar of the YES on 93 campaign is crumbling under the weight of some very real numbers - 9 out 107; $4 million. Those are some tough numbers for Fabian Nunez and Don Perata. And as they say, numbers don't lie.
