Veepstakes ’08: The Case for Joe Biden

A Christian conservative?  Someone with experience in U.S. foreign policy?  A woman?  Even with the contenders for the top spot in the White House already set, the guessing game and fuss over the potential vice presidential candidates seem just as intense.  After all, the stakes are high for the VP pick for both Senators McCain and Obama.  The selection could help a candidate win over a swing state or even attract a whole subset of voters.  We continue an on-going series taking a look at each of the potential VP picks for both candidates – and handicap how they could help (or hurt) their party’s ticket.  Next, a look at the veteran Senator from Delaware, Joe Biden.

Robocalls

The baby's crying. The dog's barking. You're trying to cook dinner. And the phone rings. You pick up and what do you hear? A recorded message telling you why you should vote for John McCain or Barack Obama. Infuriating? An invasion of privacy? Illegal? Freedom of speech? Whatever they are, some people are just fed up with automatic marketing or "Robocalls," as they're commonly known. The National Political Do Not Contact Registry is one such group--they're advocating an outright ban. The calls are already illegal in several states and, depending how they're executed, are illegal in California. Yet the laws, as currently written, are all-but impossible to enforce. So how do you silence your phone? Or does freedom of speech trump this annoyance?

City of L.A. "Selling" Four Ambulances to Mexico for $1 Each -- And Selling Out

City of L.A. "Selling" Four Ambulances to Mexico for Four Dollars -- And Selling Out By Walter Moore, Candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles, WalterMooreForMayor.com Mayor Villaraigosa and the City Council are supposedly too busy even to put Jamiel's Law on their agenda, or to otherwise show the least bit of respect to the Shaw Family, whose son was murdered by an illegal alien gang banger. How many murders and other crimes could Jamiel's Law prevent? Well, U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein estimates that 80% of the 18th Street Gang members in California are illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America. But Villaraigosa and the City Council haven't had time yet to consider denying "sanctuary city" status to these violent sociopaths who control our streets and kill our children. So what are our "leaders" doing instead? Villaraigosa is "on vacation," a condition which is, in his case, indistinguishable from not being on vacation. The City Council, meanwhile, has raised our trash fees, put yet another proposed tax hike on the ballot to fund more "Big Weasel" programs, banned the construction of new fast-food restaurants in one part of town, and is working feverishly to "protect" Britney from paparazzi, without whom, she would not exist. Today, Council Members Reyes, Garcetti and Huizar focused the City Council on another issue of vital concern to the entire populace: a labor dispute at a car wash. Apparently some of the witnesses from whom the City Council heard today needed interpreters since, you know, the City Council Members don't all speak Spanish yet. And tonight a supporter sent me yet another glaring and offensive example of our Vichy California government in action: a Report of the Chief Legislative Analyst to the City Council's Budget and Finance Committee, dated July 29, 2008. The report recommended adoption of a motion, made by Council Members Huizar and Alarcon, to authorize "the below market value sale of four ambulances to the municipality of Tlaltenago, Zacates, Mexcio." You read it right: They want to sell four of our ambulances, below market price, to a city in Mexico. Makes sense. After all, no one in L.A. needs an ambulance any more. There's no violence and no accidents any more. And they just licked that nasty fast-food crisis, so you can kiss heart attacks good-bye, too. Plus, what are the odds that some freak event like, say, an earthquake would ever hit here and hurt someone? Nil. Hey, guess how far "below market" the "sale" price will be? Would you believe four dollars for four ambulances? It's true. The people who brought you the one-dollar-a-year lease of your city buildings to "Aztecs Rising" -- that's a real name, by the way -- now bring you the one-dollar-ambulance deal, as long as the "buyer" is from Mexico. This isn't funny any more. It's obscene. The Shaws' son was murdered by an illegal alien gang banger. Then the Bologna Family in San Francisco lost three family members the same way. Who knows how many families lose loved ones each month due to preventable murders -- murders that could be avoided if we stopped giving sanctuary to gang members? Does ANYBODY give a damn about this City any more? Anyone? I ask, because I hear a lot of people complain, but I don't see a lot of people contributing to my campaign, sending for bumper stickers, and getting on the waiting list for yard signs. It's taken me over a year to raise $115,000. It probably took Villaraigosa about 10 minutes to raise that much at a cocktail party fund-raiser in Chicago hosted by the developers whose projects he subsidizes with your tax dollars. The next time someone complains about Villaraigosa and City Hall, stop them, and ask one simple question: What are YOU doing about it? Then slap him around -- metaphorically speaking -- until you see him write a check to the Committee to Elect Walter Moore. Whining doesn't cut it any more. Nor is it worth our time to keep asking these corrupt politicians, pretty please, to do the right thing. We don't need to persuade them. We need to REPLACE them. If you have not contributed already, do so right now. You can do it online. And for Heaven's sake, spread the word. Get involved, get your friends involved, but take action. We don't have to put up with these continual, obscene abuse of power. This is literally life and death. If you think that's hyperbole, just imagine for a moment that you become the next Anita Shaw, Jamiel Shaw, Sr. or Danielle Bologna. Every day Villaraigosa and the City Council stay in office is another day that they are playing a city-wide game of Russian Roulette, where the gun is pointed at you and your loved ones.

Blue Whales Sing in Lower Key

No-one really knows why, but over the last 40 years, the song of blue whales has mysteriously grown deeper, according to researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and WhaleAcoustics, a private research company. The global decline as been described by scientists who have reviewed the study as “dramatic,” “significant,” “convincing,” and “unequivocal.”  Does a 30 percent lowering of frequency mean these elusive mammals are growing in population, or is there another answer hiding in the depths?  We ask the experts.

Auto Leasing Goes the Way of the Pinto

Last week Chrysler LLC notified its dealers that it will no longer offer auto leases through its lending arm. Yesterday Ford began telling dealers that it is essentially ending leading deals on most trucks and SUV’s, and General Motors is expected to follow suit later this week. Leasing, once used as tool to make higher priced models more affordable to buyers, has been killing Detroit’s Big Three automakers. The financing units of the American auto manufacturers have been piling increasing losses stemming from leases, mainly as a result of falling resale values of trucks, SUV’s and other less fuel-efficient cars.  Even Wells Fargo Auto Financing has cancelled its leasing program—at least now the choice between leasing or buying got a little easier.

Eric Idle’s “Not the Messiah”

“If you will not show us the Grail, we shall take your castle by force!”  Now, English comedian, actor, composer, and author, Eric Idle, is taking on the Hollywood Bowl in his latest rendition of the Monty Python legacy.  In “Not the Messiah (He’s a Very Naughty Boy),” Idle and composer John Du Prez tell the tragic-comic story of a man mistaken for the Messiah, spoofing Handel’s famous oratorio “Messiah” and Monty Python’s “Life of Brian.”  Of course, the storytelling gets a bit out of hand when the LA Phil, the chorus, soloists, bagpipers and sheep get involved.  But “out of hand” has pretty much been the benchmark for Idle’s long, illustrious career. The comedic genius sits down with guest host Jon Beaupre, talking Spamalot, theology, sheep, and the holiest of holies, the Grail.

Clash of the Energy Advisers

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC news poll finds that energy—including gasoline and utility costs—ranks as the economic issue that voters say affects them the most personally.  New data indicate Americas are enthusiastically and effectively conserving energy at home and driving less on the roads.  Clearly the energy policy of the United States is one of those rare issues where national foreign policy and household microeconomic realities intersect, and Americans are becoming quite educated and demanding on the country’s long-term strategy.  This is also the issue over which Senators McCain and Obama have some of their more strenuous disagreements—from offshore oil drilling to ethanol and alternative energy, senior advisers bring the fight to KPCC.

The Dumbest Generation? Or Not?

With the dawn of the digital age, one click brought the world to our fingertips. The Internet, e-mail, blogs, and ultra-realistic video games promised a generation of super aware, highly informed and intellectually sophisticated youths.  In “Millennial Makeover: MySpace, YouTube & the Future of American Politics,” author Mike Hais says that technology, Facebook and other social networks have cultivated a “new civic-oriented” generation responsible for the sudden transformation of America’s political landscape.  But Mark Bauerlein would beg to differ.  In his book, “The Dumbest Generation,” Bauerlein details the greatest let down of the under thirty crowd – the 50 million distracted and disinterested youth that somehow missed out on enlightenment, despite the clear advantage of technology and the “information superhighway.”  Who’s in the right over the potential of youth in America?  The two authors dish out their views on MySpace, Halo and Generation Y this afternoon.

Fast Cars, Budweiser Beer, Hot Babes…and Toyotas?  NASCAR’s Japanese Invasion

It still doesn’t look quite right to see a Toyota Camry whipping around the curves of the Daytona 500, and although Toyota cars came in 3^rd and 4^th at this year’s legendary NASCAR race, the foreign auto maker is dominating the stock car circuit.  This season a Toyota-driver, Kyle Busch, is leading the driver standings and Toyota is also leads Ford, Cheverolet and Dodge in the manufacturer standings.  Toyota’s success in NASCAR comes during a time that the Japanese automaker is on the ascent while Detroit’s “Big Three” have suffered devastating losses of finances, sales and resources.  Can a quintessentially American tradition like NASCAR accept a winning Japanese import?
