Mike Gravel and Ron Paul are the two outsiders running for the US Presidency. Could either of these men win the 2008 Presidential Elections? Well, they both have quite a lot in common; wearing dark suit, sneakers and neither of them has much money. Also they are both trying to become the next President of the United States of America. These two men may be the oldest of the Presidential candidates, Gravel 77 and Paul 71, but they are currently the life of the 2008 Presidential campaign. During the month of June and early July, “Ron Paul” was in the top three most searched terms of the internet and Ron Paul has had his YouTube video view 2.3 million times. After the first debate, Gravel got more internet traffic that any other Democratic candidate apart from Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. Could one of these guys actually shock everyone and win the 2008 US Presidential Elections? Source Written by Sam for Product ReviewsIn Sections: News, Politics

Gianfranco Lanci, president of Acer today became the first significantly important PC manufacturer to openly attack Microsoft over their new operating system; Windows Vista. Acer, based in Taiwan, is the world’s fourth-largest PC manufacturer in line after HP, Dell and Lenovo. Lanci was quoted in the Financial Times, Deutschland saying “The whole industry is disappointed with Windows Vista,” in a carefree manner. Whilst XP sales continue to sell surprisingly well, almost 50% more than analysts expected, Microsoft claims that most Vista users are satisfied and that nearly all software and hardware is compatible. Perhaps it is the ever-popular, cheaper computers that consumers are continuing to purchase more and more that worries people about the performance of Vista, with a relatively low spec product? “I really don’t think that someone has bought a new PC specifically for Vista.” Lanci said. Microsoft’s popular operating systems hold a market

The popular Fox TV Series 24 is to get a new President, but it seems that they are going the same route as Commander in Chief and will have a female President instead. Her name is Allison Taylor and the character will be played by actress Cherry Jones. Cherry is a Tony Award-winning actress and will join Kiefer Sutherland who plays counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer in the seventh season, which is to return to our screens in January 2008. Cherry Jones won her Tony Awards for her roles in The Heiress and Doubt. Jones has also appeared in big movie hits such as The Perfect Storm and Ocean’s Twelve. Cherry is no stranger to political drama, as the actress has also had guest appearances in the TV Series The West Wing. Written by Peter for Product ReviewsIn Sections: News, TV Shows

All part of FOX’s plans to reignite the recently disappointing 24 series a new president has been selected. Instead of the standard issue male president the casting process has landed Cherry Jones, 51, in the role of Commander in Chief. I had to do a quick search on Ms. Jones to remember her roles in Ocean’s Twelve as Matt Damon’s mother and in Signs as the local sheriff. Jones has also made a name for herself as the first openly lesbian actress Tony Award winner in 1995. First lesbian, not the first gay to win an award for a stage act though I’m sure. While I wasn’t entirely shocked by that aspect of Ms. Jones I was rather surprised to hear her partner is none other than Sarah Paulson from the recently departed “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.” And why yes, Sarah is 18 years younger than Cherry Jones. Regardless of the cast’s sexual orientation I’m just hoping for 24 to really turn around this next season as I was reall

There is a massive Michael Moore SiCKO Smear Campaign and President Bush’s former HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson is part of the group, the advertisement which is part of the industry led smear campaign against Michael Moore’s movie titled SiCKO, the ad basically says “In America you wait in line to see a movie. In government-run healthcare systems, you wait to see a doctor”: It carries on to say that American families deserve real health care solutions, not recycled big-government ideas with a history of failure around the globe. This group which is financed in part by pharmaceutical and hospital companies and one that is on the Advisory Board is President Bush’s former HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson. There was an organization which staged a conference call that nearly got together 20 reporters from around the country because they wanted to discuss what Michael Moore left out of the SiCKO movie. There is going to be a fake news video smearing SiCKO of which PR firm MultiVu

Many Americans feel that the President George W. Bush impeachment will happen, but then this has been just talk for along time. With tons of political spin going on and views vary greatly depending if the person is a Republican or Democrat, one thing is for sure and that is the camel’s back is dangerously close to breaking. How many of you really think he actually going to be impeached? The talk of impeachment has been going on for sometime now and with all the rallies and protests nothing has happened. Although others are saying not to impeach George Bush and instead impeach VP Cheney as if they do impeach Bush, Cheney will then become president. My view is simple and that is there will almost be another President before they get round to doing anything. Written by Daniel for Product ReviewsIn Sections: News, Politics

Head over to Political Realm and join the conversation:The topic for this week's stew is simple--with Dick Cheney temporarily assuming the presidency today, I'm wondering what would you do if you became president for a day?There's too much to list here, but here's what should be done:Order Guantanamo closed.Order Guantanamo closed.Make sure the United States adheres to the Geneva Convention.Fire all of Bush's advisers.Try to convince the Congress to actually get something done.

Sometimes I forget that international observers examining the role of religion in American politics must occasionally feel the way I do when I look at politics in Iran. This article from BBC News asks whether belief in supernatural entities which contradict scientifically-based natural laws is a prerequisite to the American presidency. I'm afraid so. Yep, we have freedom of religion here. One of these days, we might also have freedom from religion.Tags: religion, politics, Iran, American presidency, freedom of religion, freedom from religion

President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy (have a pipe stuck up his butt) Saturday, and will transfer power to Vice President Dick Cheney during the procedure, expected to take about two and a half hours, (unless he is enjoying it, in which case it could go on longer ) the chief White House spokesman said. Tony Snow said Friday that the procedure, during which a doctor looks for any signs of cancer ( or intellegent life or WMD's), will be carried out at Camp David, Maryland, and the president will be placed under anesthesia ( gotten HIGH on the goofer). Bush’s last colonoscopy (pipe fitting) was in June 2002, and no normalities were found, Snow said.

John Fallon was fired for his part in the cover up of the murder and rape of Laura Dickinson.Fox News:The president of Eastern Michigan University was fired, months after top university officials were accused of covering up the rape and slaying of a student by publicly ruling out foul play.Always nice to know that a university will defend their image more than your children.The body of the slain student, Laura Dickinson, 22, was discovered Dec. 15 in her dorm room. At the time, university officials told her parents and the media that she died of asphyxiation but that there was no sign of foul play, despite evidence to the contrary.It wasn't until another Eastern student was arrested in late February and charged with murder that her family and fellow students learned she had been raped and killed.The university has a real image problem already, but now they will be lucky if they can scrape by the next few years with enrollment.

In how long a 'while,' Mr. President? When the sight of the caskets coming home is too much for you to bear anymore? When your advisors become tired of briefing you yet again regarding the many anti-war organizations who have been demanding you and Dick Cheney's impeachment and finally advise you to pull the troops out? This war is unjust, Mr. President...it is unjust and it is wrong. It has not aided the war on terrorism you see, it has inflamed the terrorists to create lots of training camps.

Did President Bush pull a classic Machiavellian move to outmaneuver Team Clinton over last week's Fourth of July holiday? In my opinion, the timing of President Bush’s commutation of Scooter Libby’s prison term was no accident.The President was well aware that former President Clinton would be joining his wife on the fourth for her visit to Iowa in an attempt to raise her sagging poll numbers there. The President is also very aware of the former President’s own record on pardons. President Bush also correctly judged that Team Clinton would resort to defending their own pardon record as soon as the announcement of Libby’s commutation was made. Bill Clinton’s ego could not sit idly by while attacks on his pardon record were made. The Clintons fell right into this trap set by President Bush. The issue of Presidential pardons cannot help Madame Hillary’s White House ambitions.I ask the most strident Bill Clinton supporter to defend his use of pardons (his brother, terror

Why are the leading candidates so uncomfortable with this film anyway? Unless of course they actually KNOW that there is something to be uncomfortable about... My favorite candidate, Dennis Kucinich isn't intimidated at all. In fact, here he is with Michael Moore in this very interesting endorsement video. I can't wait to see the movie, "SICKO" for myself. From everything I'm seeing and hearing about it, it should be very intriguing indeed. READ ABOUT THIS HEREPractice non-violence in your lives. You will be leaving your children a beautiful legacy.

Is the United States really comprised of such a bigoted, insulting nation of people that any of these three issues would sink a presidential campaign?!

NO!!!! We cannot sit idly by and bemoan while the state of Israel is in such dire peril!!!!!! I say this madman and his helpers need to be stopped immediately and the only way for us to achieve this is for the United States (and any other country who gives a damn about what's happening to Israel), demand of our legislators that we begin to use every single less than lethal weapon that's now available to us. Once these weapons are in hand, we go in there and as non-violently as we possibly can, subdue and then remove the nuclear weapons from these monsters, and then attempt to use diplomacy in order to solve this mideast crisis. Think we don't already possess the less than lethal weaponry to make this happen? well we DO and here's the proof right before our very eyes: NonLethal Technologies manufacturers a wide range of non-lethal riot & crowd control equipment for military and law enforcement applications. General Dynamics OTS manufactures a wide range of non-lethal equipme

I wish Mary, Heather and the baby everything beautiful that life can offer them.
