LOST MCCAIN FOOTAGE

Someone is Sweden has released never before seen footage of John McCain leaving North Vietnam after being released from his POW camp. Swedish author Erik Eriksson is releasing a DVD and accompanying book about the Vietnam War. During his research he stumbled across the footage, which you can watch here.

Covering the war at the time, Eriksson left one of his cameras in North Vietnam with a photographer who had access to the airport to film all of the prisoners being released. When the film was sent back to Eriksson in Sweden, he didn't recognize anyone, so the footage ended up in a box in the archives.

While working on his book over this summer, Eriksson went back to the footage to find more stuff for his accompanying DVD when he discovered the footage of John McCain.

NOW THAT THIS LOST MCCAIN FOOTAGE HAS APPEARED ....

Maybe someone can find out something about Barack America's lost years - his undergraduate years - at Columbia. Nobody seems to remember him or what he did or accomplished. Oh ... and there's that missing Senior Essay.

THE SCENT WARS

The scent wars in the Boortz Show studios continue. Today Neal got a hold of a particularly noxious spray. It was, well, fart scent. And he let loose with that. At least that was his story. It was foul. But Belinda still had to screen calls. So this is the solution she came up with while waiting for the room freshener to start working:

I think she's finally been convinced to eat the hard boiled eggs elsewhere.

THE LATEST PALIN SMEAR

The National Enquirer, yesterday, wrote that Track Palin was part of a gang of teenagers who vandalized 44 school buses in 2005. Not only were they claiming Track's involvement, but "rumors quickly swirled" that he was forced to join the military because of his supposed involvement in the act.

This report turned out to be untrue, based on follow up reporting from the New York Daily News. People who were involved in the incident came forward to attest to the fact that Track was not involved.

The left's response? They are being paid off.

A WORD ON COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION

Since the topic of community organizers has been popular lately ... Ever wonder who founded this concept of community organizers in Chicago? This should give you a taste:

The seditious role of the community organizer was developed by an extreme left intellectual called Saul Alinsky. He was a radical Chicago activist who, by the time he died in 1972, had had a profound influence on the highest levels of the Democratic party. Alinsky was a 'transformational Marxist' in the mould of Antonio Gramsci, who promoted the strategy of a 'long march through the institutions' by capturing the culture and turning it inside out as the most effective means of overturning western society. In similar vein, Alinsky condemned the New Left for alienating the general public by its demonstrations and outlandish appearance. The revolution had to be carried out through stealth and deception. Its proponents had to cultivate an image of centrism and pragmatism. A master of infiltration, Alinsky wooed Chicago mobsters and Wall Street financiers alike. And successive Democratic politicians fell under his spell.

Look, folks. We already know this about Barack Obama ... the guy worships the ideals of socialism and wants to make sure that you live in a society that is based on "fairness" and "neighborliness." Setting aside whatever methods Obama may have practiced as a community organizer, his campaign policies assure you that he would rather use the force of government to make everyone "equal" rather than to promote competition, work ethic or capitalist enterprise.

Just wait for it. In November, we are going to be sucked into a black hole. Oh, that outta get some boxers in a bunch.

A SMALL VICTORY TO CLOSE THINGS OUT

A government school teacher in California was told by the school district that he couldn't hang posters in his classroom which "proclaim a point of view at odds with the educational mission of the school."

The posters displayed the following messages:

"In God We Trust"

"God Bless America"

"One Nation Under God"

"God Shed His Grace On Thee"

"All Men Are Created Equal, They Are Endowed By Their Creator"

The catch? Other teachers in the school have Tibetan prayer flags on their walls and posters of Buddhist and Islamic messages. The school district doesn't believe that those items "could invite a lawsuit from students or other teachers." But the messages listed above are unacceptable.

The case was taken to court, and a federal judge has ruled that school officials cannot tell the teacher to take down the posters.

Neal played this clip of an Australian politician being interviewed about an oil spill. See if you catch on to what's going on here.

RINO alert. Former Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee says that Sarah Palin is a "cocky wacko" who has energized Obama supporters. I thought donations for Obama are currently "anemic"?

Can you guess the number one blog read by mainstream media political reporters? I'll give you an idea ... the Daily Kos made it into the top 5.

Speaking of liberal media ... New York Times subscribers were horrified when their papers were delivered yesterday with a copy of the film "Obsession" about the threat Islamic terrorism.

Democrats would like you to believe that we are not succeeding in Iraq, but Iraqis have now met 15 of the 18 benchmarks set up to measure the Iraqi government's effectiveness.

This is a great article from the UK: "Barack Obama the speechmaker is being rumbled." Here's the tag ... "There is a yawning gulf between what the Democratic candidate says and how he has acted. That's why the race is so close."

Obama doing some Hispandering: "They're counting on us to stop the hateful rhetoric filling our airwaves, and rise above the fear and demagoguery, and finally enact comprehensive immigration reform." By "hateful rhetoric," The Chosen One means suggestions that our laws ought to be enforced.

You want to know why cities can go bankrupt? George Will explains what happens when you combine unions, government bureaucrat egos and your tax dollars.

Take a look at how differently the Obama campaign handled this request from a group of Girl Scouts compared to the McCain campaign.

Government officials arguing over who works harder, firefighters or police officers. This outta be good.

Just 40 minutes after being placed on probation, a sex offender walks up to two kids and offers to buy them ice cream. Back to jail he goes.

Barack Obama's worst nightmare ... a load of 156 pigs crashed on a freeway in Iowa. Someone bring the lipstick. Better yet ... get those Islamic goons up from Gitmo to clean things up. Ultimate torture.
