RESCUE-BAILOUT BILL PASSES BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS. Our hang up is that it doesn't contain provisions to put money back in the pockets of the foreclosed-upon homeowners or people who lost money in their 401-Ks. But we are forgetting that it is only an emergency "stop-the-bleeding" measure. We will pass a new bill to take care of the middle class and taxpayers. We will do it as we go along. This is a living, breathing, elastic bill -- and everything is not contained in it. The "pork" will actually help the American small businesses that have been hurting, and this includes plaintiffs who were owed money from the Exxon Valdez spill.

PALIN: I WANT TO EXPAND THE POWERS OF THE VICE PRESIDENCY!

BIDEN-PALIN DEBATE gaffes and quick takes from HuffPo:

First, my take: This is the best debate of Biden's life and when he got choked up, it was the most honest, pure moment. Everyone went through the roof rating him as the highest score possible on that point. Nothing is more compelling than a strong man who is in touch with his feelings. It was natural and makes me trust him. I do not trust men who cannot be touched and vulnerable. I am so sick of loud-mouth posturing and ego-driven people.

The worst thing Palin did was in NOT expressing empathy for Joe Biden when he mentioned the loss of his wife and daughter. Palin's eye-winks and hickish, corny Joe six-pack dialect in which she dropped all her "gs," was condescending, offensive and dumb-sounding. She has lowered the standard for women. She sounded gimmicky and robotic with her memorized her Republican talking points and didn't show any nuanced judgment. She didn't directly answer the questions either!

You can tell who is the real public servant. Not the one who is ambitious for all the wrong reasons. So having 5 children and running Alaska isn't enough? Does she really think she has anything to offer the world by being Vice President?

Biden hit home hard and really slammed McCain. Biden connected with the American people and was dignified and perfect with his facts.

AND FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONED - BIDEN MENTIONED- THAT McCAIN VOTED AGAINST LOW INCOME CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE!! Although he didn't put it in the firm way I put it. If the public heard it said this way, they'd be horrified at McCain.

From HuffPo:

10:35 - Sam Stein: An Obama aide summarizes the night's proceeding as such: Palin did a good job, as expected, but Biden was the star of the evening, hitting the right tones, coming off passionate and informed and not seeming demeaning in the slightest to his combatant.

Moreover, he adds, when you look back at the tape there was little to any substance in Palin's answers.

"She could not articulate one place where her ticket differs from Bush," he writes.

10:25 - Jason Linkins: Interesting Dial Line standard: Focus group approves of Biden defending Obama, but they aren't impressed with Palin talking up McCain. People want to hear Palin be Palin! Not interested in her running a P.R. game for McCain.

10:23 - Sam Stein: Biden gets choked up when talking about the struggles of American families and the trials he himself went through when his wife and young daughter were killed in a car accident.

"The notion that somehow because I am a man I don't know how to raise two kids on my own," he says, "I know what its like to raise a child where you are not sure he's going to make it."

At one point he had to hold back tears, take a breath and compose himself.

On the CNN dials of undecided voters in Ohio, both men and women rate the moment as high as possible.

10:20 - Sam Stein: Not sure if Palin wants to come to Dick Cheney's defense on anything, let alone the carte blanche political powers he has pursued while in office. Asked if she agreed with his interpretation that the VP is part of the legislative branch, she basically says yes.

"I do agree with him that we have a lot of flexibility in there and we will do what we have to do to administer appropriately the plans we have for this nation."

Biden tees off, starting with the blanket statement: "Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous VP we have had in history."

Uncommitted voters in Ohio absolutely love Biden's response.

10:17 - Jason Linkins: Palin seems to think that the Constitution allows the Vice President to "flex" between the Executive and the Legislative Branch! GAFFE.


BIDEN: “Vice-President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice-president we’ve had probably in American history.’’

Hardblogger msnbc Some comments from regular American people:

As a Republican I really worked hard to like Gov. Palin but this debate has convinced me to vote for Obama-Biden. Palin blew the her pseudo-genuine image on national TV by not even acknowedging Biden when he choked up while speaking of the traumatic death of a family member. Little cracks like this will continue to develop.
Rebecca Russell (Sent Friday, October 03, 2008 12:23 AM)

Watched the "debate" with my husband who is a McCain supporter. We agreed to offer no comments while it was on. After about 25 minutes, he muttered, "I can't take it any more," and left. I stayed through it all and all I could think of was, she really IS a post turtle. You drive down a country road and see a turtle on a post; you know it didn't get there by itself; it doesn't belong up there; it doesn't know what to do now that it's there; and you wonder about the guy who put it there.
Jan Lightner, Federal Way, WA (Sent Friday, October 03, 2008 12:23 AM)

I wish I had thought of Sarah Palin's strategy when I was in high school debate class--just cheat--don't answer the questions. If Gwen didn't have any authority to check that sort of gambit, why not just let both participants do a 45 minute stump speech.
Biden won and I'm a registered Republican.
Ann Turner, Oldsmar, FL (Sent Thursday, October 02, 2008 11:53 PM)

I was frightened by Palin's obvious memorization of set answers to questions she was going to answer whether they were asked or not. I was insulted by her "winking" at the camera so much and her "vacant" smile. What in the world would we be saying if Biden had done that. I was stunned by her inability to really hear Biden when he mentioned HIS FAMILY experience. She seems mean to me and actually sneered at a dignified senator. I was mad that she so easily will lie and I was disgusted that she wants to expand Cheney's role as veep. We are in a lot of trouble if this ticket wins.

I think Biden was clear, passionate and gracious to her. She did not deserve his good manners in retrospect. Eleanor Herndon, Greensboro, NC

How did this play out for the average American voter? I found Governor Palin to be condescending, over-prepared and downright obnoxious from start to finish. While I am sure some will go for the wide smile, winks and sarcasm, I just want her and Senator McCain to know that some of us, in fact, many of us Republican and Democrats alike, are looking for answers...real concrete solutions to the situations we are facing. Style over substance won't cut it this time around.

As a Republican and a woman, I deeply offended by the notion that this is the best we have to offer ...at this point, I say this for the whole ticket. McCain's lack of judgment in choosing Palin (clearly for political gain only) shows that he does not care one iota about putting the "country first".
I have been loyal to this party for as long as I can stand. I hung in there with our President despite the direction of the country and our weakening position globally. I am now at a crossroad where I need to decide should I continue to support McCain in his arrogance and apparent lack of integrity OR do I tow the line and cast my vote despite all that's happened since the RNC, the last 2 weeks of gaffes with Mrs. Palin in particular, and now this over-rehearsed dinner theatre performance tonight. And people wonder why there are so many undecideds...
Karen, Charleston, SC (Sent Friday, October 03, 2008 12:05 AM)

Although I am not a fan of Governor Palin, I was starting to feel sorry for her this past week.....BUT tonight got me off that train. It is frightening to think that there is a possibility of her becoming President. I thought she was disrespectful of Joe Biden and of Gwen by stating that she would not answer the questions the way the moderator wanted. She definitely was just reciting what has been pounded in her head in preparation. There is no way some of the words and thoughts that she spoke were her own. I am tired of her "cutesy" ways and the fact that she stated that she would like the VP to have more power really turned me off.
Betty Jo Soldano, Jamestown, NY (Sent Thursday, October 02, 2008 11:34 PM)

Sarah Palin was a frightening presence tonight. She was overbearing, frenetic, and grabbing for a power grab with her chilling remarks about disregarding the moderator and expanding the role of the Vice President. Her contentions about looking back are also frightening because wisdom says that those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED * OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

The Democratic Party, that is...


We are in Yahoo News as WXB102 adds our Vegas radio show to their lineup, the award-winning Basham and Cornell Show. Below I've posted the Mp3 links to a few of our recent interviews with John Edwards, Bill Press, Pulitzer Prize winner Charlie Savage, Pat Buchanan, Valerie Bertinelli...

QUICK GUEST UPDATE:
On Wednesday June 11, 2008, Pat Buchanan, America's most famous traditional conservative and author of the new book Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War will be the guest on The Basham and Cornell Show at 8 am Pacific Time on AM 1230 KLAV in Las Vegas, and worldwide on the web. We’ll have him for the entire hour. If you missed Vincent Bugliosi on Monday's show, you can get the podcast in our archives.


Please leave a comment and tell us what you think: Whom should Obama pick as his running mate? Clinton, Edwards, Gore, Richardson, Biden, Strickland, Jim Webb, Wesley Clark, Caroline Kennedy? This election is the most important election of our time. This blog officially endorses OBAMA for President. After hearing James W. Douglass on our show — and his stunning book on the "Unspeakable" — I am convinced more than ever that we can't afford another war president. As a continuation of the Bush presidency, John McCain will promote perpetual war and "many more wars." McCain will draft our young sons into war. McCain is part of the Military Industrial Complex, and believes that U.S. imperialism and war are America's biggest industries.

A lie sometimes travels half way around the world while the truth is putting its socks on — but Truth always wins.

Unless you want to see the end of America, we must vote in a peacemaker who wants to not only talk to our enemies to avoid nuclear annihilation but who can unite opposing forces within our own party too. I believe Obama supporters should should put aside their hatred of Hillary and consider this urgent question: Can she help us win? Obama can bring Hillary supporters over and unite all of us who love America and love our troops so dearly.

Tuesday June 3, we are honored to have James W. Douglass on our show. He is the leading North American Theologian of peace and the author of JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why it Matters Robert Ellsberg, whose company, Orbis books, published this book said, “This is simply one of the most significant books I have published—or read--in the past twenty years. It is a courageous analysis of the story behind JFK's death that is as terrifying in its exposé of the dark shadows of American history as it is inspiring in describing the challenge and risks of peacemaking.”


FREEDOM FROM FEAR
I am on a diet, but not the normal kind. It's called the "Seven Day Mental Diet" of only thinking the most uplifting, visionary thoughts of a better world. I know for a fact that our thoughts create our reality for I've seen this in action. I know this sounds crazy to a lot of you but I've been having "miracles" for many years now — manifesting abundance and experiencing physical healings — and I haven't been ready to share all this until now. It seems this blog has attracted an audience of doubters, pessimists and earth-bound thinkers who are mired in the material world. But to transcend the darkness, you merely need to stop looking so closely at the problem. Look away from your problems, worries and fears. Remove your attention from them. Focus on the beautiful, the good and the chocolate. The key to joy, peace and happiness is hidden in plain sight.

If you are deep in fear or worry about the economy, the presidential election or the state of the world — relax, leg to — and you will be amazed. Financial, health and emotional insecurity is simply life's way of getting your attention. If you focus on the good in your life, no matter how small — if you focus on the tiniest thing to be grateful for, you'll expand the goodness in your life. You wil absolutely attract wealth, good luck and blessings. It works like clockwork. "Where your heart is, there is where your treasure is."

Good always wins sooner or later. We have to change our thought about the world, about America and about peace on earth. No lie has real power. Only the truth does. The truth is tangible. It exists in the universe; it has substance, reality. A lie cannot exist without the truth. It has to ride on truth's back. A lie sometimes travels half way around the world while the Truth is putting its socks on — but truth always wins. A lie has no reality of its own. We all know who the liars and deceivers are, don't we?

The only thing we have to stay away from is fear. Fear is an acronym for "false evidence appearing real." We attract what we fear: more fear. Do not worry about anything. Embrace the good that is coming.

"Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force; that thoughts rule the world." – Ralph Waldo Emerson

And Shakespeare said, "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

No matter what is happening in the economy or in the world, good is everywhere and the more we focus on it, the larger and more evident it becomes. In fact, if you drown out fearful thoughts by replacing them with loving thoughts — your entire world will change. Just watch.

Here are the steps to creating abundance in your life: health, wealth, love, charity, blessings:

1. Wake up each day and say "Thank you" for this day. Find something to be grateful for. Is the sun shining? Can you see? I have a friend who cannot see, yet she wakes up everyday and manages to take a walk and get through her day only seeing the fuzzy outline of people. She has to fold her
$5 dollar bills in such a way that she knows it is not a $20 dollar bill she is handing to the cab driver. Each day is a challenge, yet she lives alone and has learned to use a cane to walk across the street.

2. No matter what is going on in your life, if you focus only on the good, good will come to you. Good will become all you see.

3. LESS REALLY IS MORE. No matter what economic hardship is going on in your life, it can be a turning point for good. Sometimes you have to "lose your life to save it" — meaning you have to lose your dependence on material things in order to find your true soul. Believe it or not, this is a spiritual or "thought" universe. Try to grasp for one moment that life is not material, but is spiritual. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Everything starts with 'thought.' Nothing was ever invented without a thought to precede it. Thomas Edison persisted in over 6,000 failed trials to get electricity to flow through a wire. In this digital world we are communicating by wireless energy -- our thoughts are merging faster and faster. There is less dependence on clunky hardware. Relationships are more important than ever. Love is really the most powerful force in the universe.

4. LEAP AND THE NET WILL APPEAR. This is important. If you relax, fall back, LET GO! Trust in the goodness of the universe... I guarantee that the invisible hand of charity will pick you up and help you. There are countless kind souls on this earth doing Love's work, and you will absolutely be taken care of if you let go of fear, worry and strife.

5. TAKE YOUR FOCUS OFF THE PROBLEM, breathe deeply, realize what you thought would kill you didn't. Buddhists have a philosophy of "breathing in deeply and feeling your deepest fear or pain." And realize it didn't kill you. Step out of the human race belief. Wear the world as a loose garment.
Don't buy into what they're selling: fear, disease, hardship.

6. THINK OF OTHERS FIRST. "Ask not what others can do for you, but what you can do for others!" One of my favorite books is MANS SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl, who overcame concentration camp torture through the power of his mind. This is a universe of thought. Thought is energy and it is swift (too bad those lying 'Boat Veterans' forever ruined the word 'swift' for me, which just proves I am too much a victim of my thought.)

7. WAKE UP! Become conscious. Turn off the TV. Use your imagination and get in touch with your childlike spirit. Here's the Catch 22: what you think about all day long, is what you become; what you focus on grows. So if you're thinking about how bad the world is, or how afraid you are of the future, or how much you lack, you will get exactly what you are thinking about. If your mind is full of fear, so you will experience fear, lack and hardship.

Whatever is good, true and beautiful — if we think on these things we will bring these into our life in proportion to our thoughts. Our thoughts create our reality.

I have the profound sense that we can touch God everyday when we are loving to others, especially those who offend us and disturb us, and especially those less fortunate. Have you seen someone's face light up with just one kind word?

McClellan tell-all confirms enormity of Bush's deceit

Mercury News Editorial

The tight circle of George Bush defenders is shrinking into a black hole. But some light escaped this week with the release of former press secretary Scott McClellan's memoir, "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception."

Loyalists like former Bush adviser Karl Rove attacked McClellan as a Judas on the make. But it doesn't really matter if a fat book advance heightened McClellan's qualms of conscience for having been a spinner of deceit. Coming from an insider and a one-time member of Bush's Texas "family," McClellan's portrait of a shallow president who deceived the nation into war rings true.

McClellan says Bush was determined after Sept. 11 to overthrow Saddam Hussein. Suspicions of weapons of mass destruction were a pretext for neo-conservatives' true agenda: a fantasy vision of democratizing the Mideast.

McClellan was the mouthpiece for what he now calls a "political propaganda" campaign to sell the war. Profiting from remorse may not be admirable, but for the country, it's better than staying silent.

Lydia's Editorial:
I commend Scott McClellan for gaining a conscience and being unable to live with the lies staring him in the face. He did what any good human being would do. His bombshell book about the secret inner workings of the Bush-Cheney-Rove cabal, the media propaganda and the treasonous leaking of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, does not shock any of us. We hope it wakes up the American public to what is really going on.
