| Malik has an injury after ‘painful’ defeat
DELHI: Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik got an injury scare on Monday soon after his team lost to India in the opening Test when he twisted his ankle during a training session here at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium. But a team official told media that it's a minor injury and the all-rounder should be fit in time to make the playing eleven for the second Test getting underway in Kolkata from November 30. Malik twisted his ankle while playing football during a training session that was held soon after the conclusion of the opening Test which India won by six wickets. “Malik twisted his ankle and was taken to a local hospital for an MRI scan," team manager Talat Ali Malik said. “Doctors here have examined his scan reports and have advised him a two-day rest. They believe Malik should be fit to play in the second Test," he added.
Barack Obama says victory in South Carolina proves he has diverse ...
With wins in heavily white Iowa and in South Carolina, where about half of Saturday's voters were black, Obama said he has proven he can win in any region. He said he wants to disprove "the assumption that young people are apathetic" and "the assumption that African-Americans can't support the white candidate; whites can't support the African-American candidate; blacks and Latinos can't come together." Even as he spoke, Obama got a boost from Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy. "Over the years, I've been deeply moved by the people who've told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president," she wrote in the Sunday's edition of The New York Times. "That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama." After his speech, Obama flew to Macon, Ga., where he planned to attend a church service Sunday before campaigning in Birmingham, Ala.

Marching for Life in Tucson - 2008
Some might wonder how this new experience of dual services came to be. The reason is because this was no ordinary Saturday but the nearest one to January 22nd, the 35th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. This precedent setting Supreme Court case forced State governments to allow abortion, even if they wanted to ban it. As this column related previously, the legal precedent and its companion, Doe v. Bolton, are contested by their own plaintiffs who have explained that their abortion advocating lawyers tricked them into complying with the fraudulent cases. The Supreme Court refused to listen when they asked to have their own legal "victories" overturned, however. On the weekend closest to January 22nd, Tucson March for Life has for the past 12 years peacefully marched from St.
The Ron Paul "Surge"
Paul says "Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women...We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the Constitution (OK, so far, so good. I can agree with just about all of that). The last sentence, however, puzzles me because Congress DID vote to authorize the War in Iraq. The real issue was the lying President who sold Congress on a phony idea (WMD's in the hands of Saddam).
