How should California make up the projected 28 billion dollar shortfall projected over the next 20 months?


Rock stars Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel are teaming up for their first joint concert to benefit Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Obama plans to attend the concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on Oct. 16, the day after Obama's final debate with Republican John McCain at Hofstra University, located several miles outside the city in Hempstead, N.Y.

Seeing the two superstars together won't come cheap. Tickets start at $500 and range up to $10,000.

The event was first reported by the Huffington Post Web site and confirmed by an Obama aide.

Springsteen also planned to perform Saturday at a Philadelphia rally to boost the Obama campaign's voter registration drive. Polls show a close race between Obama and McCain in Pennsylvania, a state John Kerry won in 2004.

Subject: How sad
When Barry's Truth Squad starts taking over the entertainment business, Bruce and Billy can go shack up with Brad and Angelina, or Madonna, or Johnny Depp, or any of the other self-indulgent entertainers who live overseas. Maybe George Lucas can turn Skywalker Ranch into a home for broke entertainers because A: Americans have learned to boycott the industry or B: Americans don't have any more money to support the industry. Remember, if you don't agree with an entertainer's politics then don't buy their products; movies, music, etc. If we didn't support them, they wouldn't be where they are now. And, don't forget the advertisers. They are the ones truly footing the bill.

OBAMA COMMITTING TREASON

Thanks to reporting from Amir Taheri, the gist of which the Obama campaign has confirmed, we now know that while Obama is telling the American people he wants an end to the war, he has secretly negotiated with the government in Iraq to extend the U.S. military mission there. That is a black-and-white violation of federal criminal law.


Yet, during Obama’s heralded trip to Baghdad in July, he asked Iraqi leaders to ignore Bush and delay resolving the legal status of our forces until next year - by which time the Senator hopes no longer to need a phony presidential seal.

Under the “Logan Act” (now codified at Section 953 of the federal penal code) it has been against the law since the late 18th century for U.S. citizens to carry on “intercourse with any foreign government” that is aimed either “to defeat the measures of the United States” or to influence the foreign government’s dealings with the United States. Being a senator is no immunity from this statute - as any Republican senator would find out in a hurry if he dared to pull a stunt like this during an Obama administration.
