'101 Things You - and John McCain - Didn't Know About Sarah Palin'

By Gregory Bergman

BOSTON, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- www.101thingsaboutsarahpalin.com: Sarah Palin is living proof that politics does indeed make strange bedfellows. In "101 Things You -- and John McCain -- Didn't Know" about Sarah Palin (Adams Media/October 1, 2008) by comedian Greg Bergman, readers learn the (alleged) truth about the (reputed) Republican darling from Alaska who has taken the nation by (ice) storm. From hunter, to hockey mom, to live action figure, this book confirms America's latest instant-celebrity is indeed stranger -- and scarier -- than ever imagined.


With the polls projecting a statistical dead-heat and the election nearly one month away, left-leaning voters are feeling the pressure -- and desperate for a laugh. For the 18 million-strong Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits to the 72 million registered Democrats praying for a Palin pratfall, "101 Things You -- and John McCain -- Didn't Know about Sarah Palin" proves politics can be much funnier than fiction. For instance:


-- When Sarah Palin was a little girl, her father Charlie reportedly often took her moose hunting before school. We know that eating together as a family is important, but hunting your meal down as a family? Now that's true togetherness ...


-- Palin attended a Pentecostal church until 2002. Interestingly, she's characteristically silent on the subject of her speaking in tongues.


-- Palin has sued the federal government for putting polar bears on the endangered species list. Apparently they are not as cute and cuddly up close as they are in cartoons.


-- In 2007, Sarah Palin offered $150 to every hunter who hacked off the left foreleg of a wolf shot from a plane. Talk about wolves being thrown, uh ... to the wolves.


A hilarious and irreverent look at America's favorite "Caribou Barbie," this is the only humor book on Palin currently available.


Author and comedian Gregory Bergman is the author of "WTF?," "BizzWords," "Isms," and "The Little Book of Bathroom Philosophy." His work has been featured in the "Wall Street Journal" and on NPR. Bergman is based in Los Angeles.

The Global Fund Requests Approval of $1.62 Billion for Malaria Programs - If Granted, Universal Access to Bed Nets Achievable by 2010

NEW YORK, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Friends of the Global Fight applauds commitments made at the 2008 MDG Malaria Summit, held in tandem with the annual United Nations assembly of world leaders in New York, which this year is discussing the Millennium Development Goals.


(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080925/DC35212LOGO )


Of the announcements made, the largest came from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, who said its Board of Directors will be asked to approve $1.62 billion in funding for programs to combat malaria over two years. If approved, this represents the biggest request for malaria financing to date. In addition to the Global Fund's announcement, several funding pledges to fight malaria over the coming years were made by a number of actors, including private sector companies, the World Bank and the UK government, totaling nearly $3 billion. All of these commitments will support rapid implementation of the Global Malaria Action Plan, an unprecedented new strategy that was also launched today by the Roll Back Malaria Partnership with the broad support of a united malaria community.


"The Global Fund's announcement represents the largest single round of malaria funding requested in its history," said Natasha Bilimoria, Executive Director of Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. "An unprecedented round of funding can bring unprecedented change; if the Board of Directors approves this request, the Global Fund can make universal access to bed nets by 2010 a reality."


In response to a global call to more effectively combat malaria and close the bed net gap, Global Fund-financed programs have significantly scaled up their work. In addition to the 59 million bed nets already distributed by Global Fund programs, this new funding, if approved, would allow for an additional 100 million nets -- in addition to effective malaria medicines -- to be purchased and distributed over the next two years. The Global Fund is currently financing malaria programs in 79 countries worth $3.7 billion, and is providing two-thirds of all international funding for malaria.


"The country proposals requesting funding -- all of which meet the Global Fund's high standards for quality and technical merit -- are poised to quickly and effectively make a significant impact on the burden of malaria around the world," said Bilimoria. "Our investments in global health work have translated into lives saved, and we must continue to put significant resources behind these successful programs."


Since its creation in 2002, the Global Fund has committed more than $11.5 billion to 136 countries around the world to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Currently, the Global Fund provides about one-quarter of international financing to fight AIDS and two-thirds of international funding for tuberculosis and malaria programs.


FRIENDS OF THE GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS AND MALARIA


Friends of the Global Fight works to educate, engage and mobilize American decision makers to support the Global Fund and the fight to end the worldwide burden of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. For more information about Friends of the Global Fight, visit www.theglobalfight.org.


THE GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS AND MALARIA


The Global Fund is a unique global public/private partnership dedicated to attracting and disbursing additional resources to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. This partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector and affected communities represents a new approach to international health financing. The Global Fund works in close collaboration with other bilateral and multilateral organizations to supplement existing efforts dealing with the three diseases.

An Invitation to Barack Obama and You

An Invitation to Barack Obama and You

by Newt Gingrich (more by this author)
Posted 09/16/2008 ETUpdated 09/16/2008 ET

The following was sent to the Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago this morning at 10 a.m. EST:

Dear Senator Obama:
I viewed with great interest your new ad, "Real Change," in which you declare that this year, "change has to be more than a slogan." On this critical point, at this critical time, I believe you and I have found common ground.

Earlier this year I wrote a book entitled Real Change: From the World that Fails to the World that Works. The premise of Real Change is that Americans - Democrats, Republicans and independents - are united in their desire for change. But you're absolutely correct - "change" can't just be a slogan. So Real Change outlines specific solutions for the energy, environment, immigration, education, retirement, economic and health care challenges we face.

I'm also General Chairman of an organization, American Solutions for Winning the Future, that was founded to rise above traditional, gridlocked partisanship to find the solutions that will bring about real change.

I'm writing you today to invite you to be a part of an exciting initiative to engage the American people in moving "real change" from a slogan to a reality.

On September 27, American Solutions will join with citizen activists and elected officials across the country to participate in our second annual Solutions Day.

Last year, on our inaugural Solutions Day, over 100,000 Americans participated in person and online in more than 35 workshops at six different locations across the country to find solutions in education, health care, energy and the environment. It was a truly bipartisan event. Democrats including Roy Romer and Elaine Kamarck led workshops along with Republicans such as Dick Armey and Mike Huckabee.

This year, the theme of Solutions Day 2008 will be "We Have the Power." This theme is a reflection of the belief we share in the power and potential of citizen activism. As a template for this citizen activism, American Solutions has produced a tripartisan document called The Platform of the American People, which can be viewed at AmericanSolutions.com/Platform.
I invite you to learn more about Solutions Day at SolutionsDay2008.com. And then I invite you to join us on September 27 to outline your vision of real change in energy, the economy, education and health care. Of course, I know how busy your schedule is these days. So if you're unable to join us in person, we would be excited if you could submit a video of your ideas for real change.

This is an increasingly divided, partisan time in our national life. Solutions Day this September 27 will be an opportunity to genuinely put aside party and politics and concentrate - if only for a day - on the challenges that face us as a nation. Your voice and your commitment to a more hopeful and more prosperous America would be an invaluable contribution.

Yours sincerely,
Newt Gingrich

An Invitation to You
All of you are invited to be a part of Solutions Day on September 27, either as observers or participants. We're especially looking for citizen leaders who are willing to host an event at their home and invite friends and family to attend. The theme of Solutions Day this year is "We Have the Power" and will focus on providing citizens with the tools, knowledge, and training to win America's future. All of Solutions Day will be broadcast live on DISH Network #219, DirecTV #577, and on the Internet.
Go to SolutionsDay2008.com to find out how you can actively shape our nation's solutions in energy, the economy, education and health care.

One of the major issues we will tackle on Solutions Day will be how to create affordable, abundant, safe, and reliable sources of American energy. My book with Vince Haley, Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less: A Handbook for Slashing Gas Prices and Solving Our Energy Needs will be out next Monday, September 22. In the meantime, it is available for pre-order here.
Also, "We Have the Power," a new movie hosted by Callista and me, and produced by Citizens United, will premier on Solutions Day. "We Have the Power" will outline the energy solutions that will work to lower gas prices, expand alternative energy production, and protect our environment. It was a fun and exciting project to work on. I hope you'll tune in at SolutionsDay2008.com.

When Did It Become Wrong For Our Leaders to Pray For Our Troops?
If you missed the interview Charlie Gibson had with Governor Palin last Thursday, you missed a very revealing moment that demonstrated just how out of touch our media elites are with the American people and American history.
During the exchange, ABC played a truncated clip of Governor Palin in her church praying for our troops, praying that their mission is in accordance with God's plan.
After reciting just a small portion of her prayer, Mr. Gibson glibly asked Governor Palin, "Are we fighting a holy war?"
One wonders if Mr. Gibson would have asked the same question to President Bill Clinton, John F. Kennedy, Franklin Roosevelt, or any of the other Presidents who have offered similar prayers for the troops in times of war.
We have made a video asking this very question, which you can watch at Newt.org.
And of course, my book Rediscovering God in America and the movie Callista and I made of the same name offers viewers a walking tour of the monuments and historical sites of Washington, D.C. to show our country's heritage of faith.

Your friend,

Newt Gingrich

P.S. -- Columnist Jed Babbin has some good advice for Republicans this election year: They can win if they listen to the people. And what are the people saying? "Drill here, drill now..." Read Babbin's column here.

P.P.S. -- In the Washington Post last weekend former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky offered a tremendous insight into why Russia invaded the nation of Georgia.

The situation in Georgia is the culmination of a failed post-Cold War policy toward Russia. Central to this failure has been ignoring the inherent connection between internal freedom and external aggression. As democracy was rolled back within Russia, the world abandoned an approach that had been so effective during the later stages of the Cold War, when relations with the Kremlin were linked to the expansion of freedom inside the Soviet Union.

Hurricane Ike threatens Texas

London, 12 September/GNN/ --

MET OFFICE News Release issued by COI News Distribution Service. 12
September 2008
As the hurricane season continues all eyes now turn to Hurricane Ike. Following
fast on the heels of Hurricanes Gustav and Hanna, Ike has already killed more
than 70 people in the Caribbean, with Haiti and Cuba particularly badly hit.

Now it is heading for the coast of Texas, where evacuations are taking place
because of fears of a storm surge of up to 20 feet above normal tide levels.

The Met Office provides forecast information of tropical storms and hurricanes
from its unified model twice daily to its colleagues at the National Hurricane
Center (NHC) in Miami. This valuable information is used by forecasters
in the NHC when compiling the official forecasts of track and landfall of
hurricanes and tropical storms, and the issue of warnings to affected areas.

The latest forecast indicates that the centre of the hurricane will come
ashore near Galveston at around 6am Saturday UK time. However, Ike is a
large hurricane and much of the Texas and Louisiana coast are already being
affected. British holiday makers and those with friends and family on the
Gulf coast of the United States will be paying close attention to the NHC
advice and warnings for wind, rain and storm surges.

The Met Office has a responsibility to protect the lives of British citizens
abroad and issues regular briefings to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(FCO) for tropical cyclones around the globe throughout the year. In addition
the Met Office provides forecast information to humanitarian agencies and
the insurance industry, giving advanced notice for mitigating action.

The latest forecast tracks can be found at the National Hurricane Center
website. Satellite images of Hurricane Ike

As we mark the 7th memorial anniversary of 9/11, let us light a candle for those we lost and remember how they were killed on that fateful day of September 11, 2001.
Let their death remind us of the threat we face everyday as we confront the enemies of peace.

We must not be caught napping again.
We must be prepared to defend ourselves everyday by day.

International Poll: No Consensus on Who Was Behind 9/11

For Release: 5:01 EDT September 10th, 2008

COLLEGE PARK, Md., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new WorldPublicOpinion.org poll of 17 nations finds that majorities in only nine of them believe that al-Qaeda was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States.


In no country does a majority agree on another possible perpetrator. On average, 46 percent say that al Qaeda was behind the attacks, 15 percent say the US government, seven percent Israel, and seven percent some other perpetrator. One in four say they do not know. These responses were given spontaneously to an open-ended question that did not offer response options.


"Given the extraordinary impact the 9/11 attacks have had on world affairs, it is remarkable that seven years later there is no international consensus about who was behind them," comments Steven Kull, director of WorldPublicOpinion.org.


Even in European countries, the majorities that say al Qaeda was behind 9/11 are not overwhelming. Fifty-six percent of Britons and Italians, 63 percent of French and 64 percent of Germans cite al Qaeda. However, significant portions of Britons (26%), French (23%), and Italians (21%) say they do not know who was behind 9/11. Remarkably, 23 percent of Germans cite the US government, as do 15 percent of Italians.


Publics in the Middle East are especially likely to name a perpetrator other than al Qaeda. In Egypt 43 percent say that Israel was behind the attacks, as do 31 percent in Jordan and 19 percent in the Palestinian Territories. The US government is named by 36 percent of Turks and 27 percent of Palestinians. The numbers who say al Qaeda was behind the attacks range from 11 percent in Jordan to 42 percent in the Palestinian Territories.


The only countries with overwhelming majorities citing al Qaeda are the African countries: Kenya (77%) and Nigeria (71%).


The poll of 16,063 respondents was conducted between July 15 and August 31, 2008 by WorldPublicOpinion.org, a collaborative research project involving research centers from around the world and managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland. Margins of error range from +/-3 to 4 percent.


Interviews were conducted in 17 nations: China, Egypt, France, Germany, Great Britain, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, the Palestinian Territories, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and the Ukraine.

Special GOP Convention Issue: The Happiest Convention
by Newt Gingrich (more by this author)

Posted 09/05/2008 ETUpdated 09/05/2008 ET

This was the happiest convention I have attended.
In seven conventions going back to 1984, I have never seen delegates as happy.
I have seen them eager, energized, committed, determined but the underlying mood last night was sheer joy.

There was joy that Senator McCain had had the courage to pick Governor Palin.
There was joy that she and her family had come through the week of attacks smiling and eager to campaign.

There was joy that Governor Palin's Wednesday night speech completely vindicated Senator McCain's choice.

There was joy that 37 million Americans had seen her speech. That is almost as many as watched Senator Obama's acceptance speech (39 million).

There was deep inspiration from Cindy McCains story of adopting a child from Bangladesh and her commitment to the poor and the weak around the world.

There was awe at the film about Senator McCain's service to country and inspiration from the personal parts of his speech.

There was joy at Roberta McCain saying "he's a momma's boy" and admiration for her energy and enthusiasm at 96 (sort of knocks down the age issue).
Finally there was joy that we had nominated two real people of great authenticity to take on the poseurs on the other ticket.

It was appropriate in St. Paul, the city of F. Scott Fitzgerald, that the modern Great Gatsby found himself facing a ticket with a real war hero and a real governor.
Obama's long voyage of self discovery and posturing may be about to collide with a team that can't be intimidated and is not afraid to tell the truth.
Now that is a cause for joy.

The Coming War Against Sarah Palin
I am writing this newsletter from St. Paul, MN, where Alaska Governor Sarah Palin electrified the crowd at the Republican National Convention Wednesday night. And I think it's safe to say she showed the entire country a fresh new face of conservative reform.

There was a lot of build-up to Governor Palin's speech, both in the media and among the professional Republican political class. Everyone was telling us that the speech was the Governor's big moment; if she could perform well Wednesday night, she would break free of the despicable, sustained partisan and personal attacks being leveled at her by everyone from the left-wing blogs to the elite media.

Palin Survived. Now the Left REALLY Has to Destroy Her
But the pundits and the consultants were wrong. Palin's success last week doesn't mean the left-wing is going to give up attacking her.

Palin's success means that now the left really has to destroy her.
Why? Because she's proved that she is an intelligent, articulate and mortal threat to the left's claim that it is the sole, legitimate voice of women and blue-collar, working Americans.
Sarah Palin is a mother of five who is also an accomplished woman.
She is a lifelong member of the NRA who is also an intelligent, articulate professional.
She is pro-life in her words and in her deeds, and she controls an $11 billion budget and 15,000 Alaska state employees.

Simply put, the left has a greater vested interest in destroying her than any presidential or vice presidential candidate the Republican Party has nominated in the last fifty years.
The media will try to downplay her accomplishments as when Ron Allen of MSNBC tried to get me to accept that she had too little experience. Watch it here.

Echoes of the Clarence Thomas Nomination
We've seen this kind of desperation before, of course.
Those of us who lived through the effort by the elites to destroy Clarence Thomas when he was nominated to sit on the Supreme Court by George H. W. Bush have an unsettling idea of the fight that lies ahead.

The left and the elites regarded Thomas - an African-American who is also a conservative - as a threat to their ability to be the arbiters of what African-Americans and other minorities should believe.

Allowing Thomas to ascend to the high court would show that skin color does not dictate political affiliation - just as allowing Sarah Palin to become vice president would show that being a woman and a blue-collar American does not dictate political party. So they threw mud at Thomas. They called him a traitor to his race.

Just like what's happening now with Governor Palin. We've seen this before.
If Palin's Still Standing in November, Republicans Will Win the Election

The road ahead promises to be bumpy. But the good news is that if Governor Palin survives the next few months as a national figure of competence and reform, then the left suddenly has a tremendous problem.
It's a problem that is bigger than just losing the election (which is what will happen if she is a star in November).

The left's problem will be that, at 44, Sarah Palin represents potentially 30 years of Republican Party leadership and transforming the party and America.

The stakes are high, and the race is on.

It's time to brace ourselves for the coming war against Sarah Palin - and its time to win it.

Your friend,

Newt Gingrich
