Hillary Clinton’s Plan for Victory (Seriously)
It’s been a long campaign with a lot of ups, downs, and surprises. The biggest surprise for Hillary Clinton is that she is not the presumptive nominee for her party. The biggest surprise for observers: That she’s still in the race.
Many people, including notable politicians, celebrities, and members of the media have publically questioned why the former First Lady is still campaigning, charging that a win is impossible. Some have even condemned her for it. However, Senator Clinton might see a way that she can win.
June has come and the race isn’t over. Only three contests remain: Puerto Rico on Sunday, June 1st, and on the third day of June, the final Tuesday in a string of Tuesdays that have been blown well out of proportion, voters in Montana and South Dakota will cast the final ballots in the last primaries of the season.

Top Story - Running Mates: Obama’s Best Vice Presidential Picks
With Barack Obama passing the delegate threshold and assuming the role of his party’s presumptive nominee, all attention is now turning towards the Veepstakes. Who will Barack Obama choose as the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee?
The Dream Ticket
The media, as well as the talking heads that they prop up, have made a deal of exceptionally loud noise about a unity ticket in which Obama makes his chief rival, Hillary Clinton, his running mate for the fall. This so called “dream ticket†scenario is a very, very bad idea.
If Obama does choose Senator Clinton, the move does not bolster him in any state where A) he lost to Clinton and is polling poorly against John McCain, or B) he won, but is polling poorly against McCain. There is no sustentative polling data at the time of this writing that suggests otherwise.
Further, in the general election, the role of VP candidate is to campaign for the person on the top of the ticket and say why that person should be president. That role would be kind of hard for Clinton, when she and her husband just spend the past year saying why he isn’t qualified, and why someone with experience, Senator McCain, would be a better choice for the voters.
There is no doubt that, at this very moment, the RNC is readying a backlog of sound bites from both Hillary Clinton and the former President, and they’re preparing to unleash them in print, radio, and television ads in states like Michigan and Ohio, two must wins for Democrats to take back the White House.
The idea of Senator Clinton being on the Democratic ended when her campaign ended. Having her on the ticket would hurt, not help Obama, it doesn’t help him win any state, and it provides fodder for Republicans. (Click here for full story)Cartoon: George W. Bush's Corporate Sponsors
Fighting Foreclosure: The Tools and Resources to Prevent Foreclosure
Foreclosure auctions are becoming commonplace in America today, as are streets littered with “For Sale†signs placed in the yards of homes that have been on the market for months, with little hope of actually selling. Bankruptcy laws have now been changed to favor the lenders, leaving consumers will little protection when times get tough.
With foreclosure rates at their highest in history, it is more important than ever that every homeowner understand their rights.
This article will talk specifically about FHA insured home loans. However, the remedies discussed within are typically made available by conventional mortgage lenders as well. If you do not have an FHA loan, it may be possible to refinance in order to obtain one. Consult your current lender or other mortgage lending professional for advice on establishing an FHA loan.
Why would my lender want to help me?
Your mortgage lender has made an investment in you. They have calculated how much you are worth to them. After all, you are making monthly payments for 30 years or more, and you’re paying interest.
If the lender forecloses on a property, they lose the 30 years of payments, they lose the 30 years of interest, incur legal fees, and they are required by law to sell the house at auction, a venue that characteristically brings in less than the market value of the property.

Where are they now? Nolan Bushnell’s Axlon
Axlon was a game developer, amongst other things, that was responsible from some of the last, and best games released for the Atari 2600. The little known company was founded by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, and designed a never-released console to compete head to head with Sega and Nintendo at the dawn of the 16-bit generation. Who was this interesting little company, and what happened to them?
After Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari – the once largest and seemingly unstoppable video game and console developer, sold his company to Time Warner in 1977 for $28 million, he made several attempts to re-enter the game industry that he helped to forge. (Click here for full story)

Beginning in September 2006, its first episode dealt with the confusion regarding the IAU’s new definition of what a planet is, leading to Pluto’s demotion. This website’s first science article dealt with the same issue. It’s silly, but I feel a connection there. Since its induction, the show has been produced, without fail, every Monday. At the time of this writing there have been 68 episodes. The topics vary from planets in our solar system to string theory... (Click here for full story)
