The abuse-of-power investigation of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was unraveling Wednesday, with most key witnesses refusing to testify, new legal maneuvering and heightened Republican pressure to delay the probe until after Election Day.
Palin initially welcomed the investigation, saying "hold me accountable," but she has increasingly opposed it since Republican presidential candidate John McCain tapped her as his vice presidential running mate.
In a reversal of position, a key Democratic lawmaker said Wednesday he may convene the committee that is conducting the investigation into whether Palin dismissed her public safety commissioner when he would not fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with her sister.

If he is the one who sent the letter, I do not believe in any way, shape or manner that he is the only person involved in this attack on Congress and the American people. I do not believe that at all," Leahy said.

"Hurricane Katrina made them worthless feds in windbreakers, a four-letter agency for which some couldn't find enough four-letter words. "
HA! See people the Republicans can't be trusted to even avoid the same mistake twice.
Those poor people, I hear the Red Cross is under funded so if the economy hasn't wiped you out try to spread the wealth to these people through a reputable source like the Red Cross. Even FEMA (of course : ( ) is taking its own hurricane of critism. "Hurricane Katrina made them worthless feds in windbreakers, a four-letter agency... more

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. His cause as crown prince in the 1990s and as reigning monarch since 2005 has been to settle as many disputes as he can in this region of clashing faiths, millennial rivalries and chronic conflagrations. They are all related, as he sees it, from Palestine to the price of oil, from Iraqi death squads to Iranian nukes to the risk of global recession, each cancroid problem feeding off the other.King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

We were brought up in an era where America was heralded as the world's ‘Superpower’. But with Beijing 2008 in sight, an incoming US president, Putin's new Russia and a burgeoning India, change is in the air.
Have we learnt our lessons from the past? Is there hope for the future? Which of these socio-political powerhouses will shape our world in the next 30 years, and will it be a better world?
This is the main promo from my UK campaign for the Current TV 'Future Superpowers' season, airing April 19th to the 25th. I used a lot of archive stills and audio in this piece (as well as great footage from Current), to create a big impact, dark atmosphere, questioning mood, and hopefully make it an intriguing topic for everyone. After-all, we all have to live here.

Is this guy living like a Rock Star? Why do I care? Is she the hottest possible first lady of France?
Could Sarkozy be the Modern version of Pierre Trudeau the former Prime Minister of Canada who was quoted as saying "The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation."?
Pierre Trudeau was famous for dating celebrities in the 70's, and received allot of flack at the time. He was still one of Canada's most influential leaders.
Should the personal lives of our leaders really be our business? If our leaders are doing their jobs properly should we care what goes on behind closed doors?
The current American President, seems to have very normal home life; maybe we need the good old days of "I did not have sex with that women"?Is this guy living like a Rock Star? Why do I care? Is she the hottest possible first... more
