ABC News: Senior U.S. Official: Intercepted Al Qaeda Communications Indicate Planned Attack ‘Big,’ ‘Strategically Significant’ By Martha Raddatz and Jonathan Karl August 4, 2013 9:00am http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/08/senior-u-s-official-intercepted-al-qaeda-communications-indicate-planned-attack-big-strategically-significant Meanwhile, that same day in South Florida, all Sunday afternoon, hours after the ABC News telecast above, the Miami Herald has had nothing VISIBLE on their homepage about the al-Qaeda security threat. Really. Not that this is surprising given how far they've fallen over past 15 years... Here's a screen capture of the homepage when I checked it for one of the last times late Sunday afternoon, little changed from what It'd been in the morning and after Noon. The proof is in the pudding, since more often than not over the past few years, the Miami Herald reads like the weekly community newspaper of a suburb of Tulsa or Des Moines. http://www.miamiherald.com/

Why Ryan Matters
William Kristol
August 27, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 46
Vice presidential picks don’t matter. Except when they do. If John Kerry had chosen Dick -Gephardt instead of John Edwards in 2004, and had then parked Gephardt in Ohio during the general election campaign to make the Democratic case to working-class voters, Kerry might well have won the Buckeye State—and the presidency.
Read the rest of the excellent essay, esp. the last two paragraphs at:
So far, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz hasn't gone so far as to ape an Elementary School principal promising to have her head shaved if all her students read ten blooks over the summer and improve their tests scores, or in her case, promising to get her locks clipped completely if Romney-Ryan wins, but we still have 76 days for her to think of it and blurt it out.
Speaking of DWS, here's another piece you won't be reading in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel if any of her many trained poodles over there have anything to do with it, though logically you should, right? Supposedly, DWS is on the hot seat! Or is it on thin ice? She's on one of the other, which ever you find personally worse in the summer.
The Weekly Standard Book: Wasserman Schultz Most Unpopular Obama Campaign Surrogate By Daniel Halper 8:33 AM, August 20, 2012
According to a new ebook released today by Politico writer Glenn Thrush, Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of Congress from Florida, is the most unpopular of all surrogates for President Obama's reelection campaign. That finding is the product of polling done by the Obama campaign, according to Thrush.
The Washington Post Report: Obama campaign has doubts about DNC chair Posted by Rachel Weiner on August 20, 2012 at 7:36 am
President Obama’s Chicago team is not thrilled with Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, according to a new ebook from Politico’s Glenn Thrush.
So what exactly happened to John Heilemann? He used to be right more often than wrong, and would often have something original and interesting to bring to the table for discussion, but at some point over the past few years when I wasn't looking, he seems to have gone into a slump or a funk or tailspin or something, because he's now lost his bearings, keeps repeating the same things things over-and-over instead of saying something original or interesting. "They think [Ryan] is a gift to them." Obama Team ‘Could Not Be Happier’ with Paul Ryan Pick Paul Ryan Was Hardly a ‘Courageous Choice’ for Mitt Romney Like a once-valuable veteran pitcher on a contending team who has lost his fastball -his judgment has gotten worse and worse. Just like his predictions. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/08/12/Dems-Pretend-to-be-Excited-Over-Ryan-Pick-They-Celebrated-Cheney-Too
