An interesting editorial by the President of Georgia.

It’s about time somebody put the effort into explaining exactly what happened to the financial markets and why. There’s a post on it here, and the audio part is worth listening to, even if the guy is immensely annoying.
Via my dad.

It seems that scientists have developed ways of determining the amount of spin in a given political speech. Surprise, surprise: Obama uses more spin in his speeches than McCain does.

Presumably you all (well-informed people that you are, all two or so of you) know about the Palin hacking thing. Michelle Malkin has some of the backstory.

If the initial reports are accurate, there is a major foreign policy revelation on the horizon: Obama demanded delay from Iraqis in working out a troop draw-down of American forces. This is an interesting move for someone who supposedly wants the troops out as soon as possible, which Power Line points out. I would have to agree with the argument being made about this that Obama wants Iraq to look like a failure, and he appears to be soliciting foreign influence to manipulate American elections.

Georgia has released intercepted telephone calls proving that Russians had entered Georgian territory before the conflict was supposedly started by Georgia. I wrote about this before, but it’s good to see that they’re trying to get the truth out.
