Nouri Al-Maliki- the Prime Minister of Iraq has now demanded a timetable for the departure of American troops from his country. It looks like he got what he wanted. Reuters reports that an agreement has been reached to have all foreign troops out by 2011.
Meanwhile, the folks in Afghanistan are not too pleased about the 76 people killed by U.S. airstrikes.
Condi Rice says that the U.S. has been forced to do a mass review of its relationship with Russia. In the meantime, Russia votes to recognize rouge provinces. I guess Bush and Putin are no longer best friends.
Jesse Jackson Jr. calls Obama the Jackie Robinson of politics.
Republicans are pissed that Obama didn't choose Hillary to be his VP. HUH?? Meanwhile, Bill Clinton is not too pleased about his role at the convention.
Bill Kristol is campaigning for Joe Leibermann as McCain's VP choice. Hmm, what connection do they have??
The rumors of Dolly Parton's demise have been greatly exxagerated.

Thursday's Tastings
Looks like Condi Rice and the Iraqis have agreed on a timetable for troop withdrawls. The State Department says that there is no real date set. The Iraqis disagree.
The Bush Administration continues its mad quest for unconstitutional government spying and oversight abilities.
Russia plans to stay a while in Georgia.
McCain not really sure how many houses he owns. He also walks around in $500 shoes and belongs to one of the richest families in Arizona. Obama just finished paying student loans three years ago and he's the one that's the elitist.
Israeli Deputy Premier wants a unity government. Tzipi Livni is the frontrunner to replace Olmert, who resigned because of his bribery scandel.
FEMA phone system hacked. Hacker makes $12,000 worth of calls to the Middle-East and Asia.
Texas set to execute a mentally retarded man for a murder committed while he was outside in the car. That's Texas justice for ya!!
Joe Leibermann set to speak at the GOP convention. I'm sure the Dems love to hear this.
Hall of Fame guard and NFL Players Association President Gene Upshaw dies.

Feeling Safer Today?
A few things have been going on lately to make me realize a few things. Regardless of who wins the presidency, they'll have their work cut out for them. The world is a mess. Most of the stuff was created, caused or promoted directly by the Bush Administration.
Even though a "cease-fire" is in place, the Georgian government sees no sign of the Russian troops leaving. This is not going to end easily. It looks like they are trying to go back to the old ways of the Soviet Union and create a new Iron Curtain.
Pakistani President has resigned.
Iran says that it will help other Muslim nations launch satellites into outer space. They also announced that its warplanes have the capability to reach Israel. Looks like this is going to work out nicely as well.
Iraq's government cracking down on U.S. backed Sunni forces.

The conflict in Georgia is not over. Although a public "cease-fire" has been announced, Russian tanks are still pressing further into Georgia. All of this is causing this administration to re-think its relationship with Russia. Ya think??? Oh, by the way, John McCain sends his diplomats to Georgia. Somebody should tell him that he isn't President just yet.
On a related note, the United States have reached a missle deal with Poland. This is basically to protect the Polish from what's happening now to the Georgians.
Iraqi Foreign Minister says U.S. will begin troop withdraws beginning next summer.
New government projections show that whites will no longer be in the majority by 2042. The U.S. population is expected to increase from 305M people to 439M by 2050.
A pound of cyanide was found in a hotel room in Denver that was being used by a now-dead foreign national.
Julia Child, well-known for being T.V's greatest food personality, was also doing a bit of spying in her day.
Latest polls show Obama with a steady lead in the Presidential race, including an 8-point lead in Pennsylvania.

Tuesday's Tastings
A new book is slated to hit the market claims that the Bush administration ordered forgery of documents in order to link Saddam Hussein to Al-Queda. C'mon! Now who out there really believes that this administration would do something unethical for political gain?
Eugene Robinson takes on the McCain campaign's race-baiting and scare tactics in regards to Barack Obama.
Looks like the left's Darth Vader will not be making any appearances at the Republican convention this time. It seems as if the entire Republican members of Congress are running fast and furiously away from the Bush administration. Even McCain himself is trying to distance himself away from George W.
A judge orders a Muncie, IN drug task force to repay $25,000 that they took without a court order and deposited into an "off-of-the-books" bank account.
John McCain does his best rock-star imitation at Sturgis.
Once again, the Pentagon extends tours for the military personnel. This time it's 1,250 Marines in Afghanistan. I'm sure this does wonders for their morale. C'mon! We all know they support the troops!
