Boston Globe, by Editorial, Boston Globe Posted By: Boston Federalist- Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:31:12 GMT If Massachusetts Senator John Kerry had escaped $500,000 in state taxes by docking his yacht in Rhode Island, the offense wouldn’t have been as serious as, say, plotting with the British against the Continental Army in 1780. But then, it was Kerry himself who upped the rhetorical ante against those who use tax loopholes for their own gain.

National Review, by Andrew C. McCarthyna Posted By: Judy W.- Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:24:58 GMT The 2010 midterms have not happened yet, but the 2012 campaign is under way. For that we can thank Newt Gingrich. Not because Gingrich is a candidate, though he almost certainly is. And not because he can win, because that is by no means certain. We should thank Gingrich because he has crystallized the essence of our national'security challenge. Henceforth, there should be no place to hide for any candidate, including any incumbent. The question will be: Where do you stand on sharia?

Associated Press, by Staff Posted By: Scottyboy- Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:19:46 GMT PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says 64 people have been arrested so far in a two'day crime and immigration sweep and six of them are illegal immigrants. Sheriff’s officials say 19 of the arrests were made Friday with three people suspected of being illegal immigrants. Many of those arrested were stopped for traffic violations and were found to be in the country illegally after they couldn’t produce driver’s licenses or other identification. About 180 deputies and trained sheriff’s volunteers fanned out across metropolitan Phoenix on Thursday targeting traffic violators who may also be illegal immigrants.

National Journal Magazine, by Charlie Cook Posted By: Boston Federalist- Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:16:31 GMT It's too early to say for sure, but it's possible that the Republican wave has subsided. Very few people watch political polls more closely than I do. (Whether that's a good thing or suggests that I'm slightly neurotic is up for debate.) When you monitor surveys incessantly, you occasionally see results that you're unsure how to interpret.

Star Phoenix (Saskatoon, SK, Canada), by Allen Abel Posted By: Scottyboy- Sat, 31 Jul 2010 13:42:37 GMT I was driving the heart'breaking streets of Charm City and the black man on the radio was talking about Barack Obama. "All this spinnin' plates on a stick the president's tryin' to do is for the rich," he was saying. And the caller (it was a local midday talk show on the AM dial) said: "Yeah, he can't take no more from us, 'cause we got nothin' to lose." The next day, a survey was released by The Washington Post and ABC News and the headline said: Majority of Americans lack faith in Obama
