(CNN) – There’s no truth to accusations by bloggers that a Palestinian camera crew staged a video showing the death of the videographer’s brother after an Israeli rocket attack, said the team’s employer.

"This is a matter of national importance. There are no African Americans in the Senate, and I don't think that anyone, any U.S. senator who's sitting in the Senate right now, wanna go on record to DENY one African American from being seated in the U.S. Senate. I don't think they want to go on record doing that."

They sure know how to have a good time.

For the first time since announcing her interest in assuming Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, Caroline Kennedy opened up in an exclusive interview Friday about her qualifications for high office as well as private reminisces of her family.

I am including what was, in my opinion, one of Red Skelton's greatest monologues. A church official says the clergyman credited with helping to push Congress to insert the phrase "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance has died in Alexandria, Pa. The Rev. George M. Docherty was 97. y_tBqrHMoTs Nancy Taylor, historian for the Huntingdon Presbyterian Church, says Docherty died on Thanksgiving at his home in Alexandria, with his wife, Sue, by his side. Docherty delivered a sermon saying the pledge should acknowledge God in 1952 at Washington's New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, just blocks from the White House. On Feb. 7, 1954, he delivered it again after learning that President Dwight Eisenhower would be at the church. Congress inserted the words a few months later.

I have a degree in medicine. While in med. school, I had a serious accident. I dived into a pool and hit the bottom. I permanently damaged the nerves in my back and am confined to a wheelchair. I am a psychiatrist, but not in practice. I think I have been chosen to be a part of the bioethics panel because of my expertise in medicine and politics as well as because of my job to relay the meaning and importance of issues such as cloning and stem cell research to the public. I see it as my job to challenge conventional wisdom and provide the public with another rationale. http://www.bigmouthfrog.org/2008/10/29/a-few-facts-about-charles-krauthammer/

More than 100 of the inmates are considered too dangerous to release but not guilty enough to prosecute because the evidence against them can not be used in court. Would an Obama administration hold those prisoners without trial? The real question facing Obama: Will he change the rules under which captured terrorists are held, or just their address? http://www.bigmouthfrog.org/2008/11/26/closing-guantanamo-a-priority-for-obama-maybe-not/

With his Electoral College landslide victory, Obama said he possesses a "mandate to move the country in a new direction, and not continue the same old practices that have gotten us into the fix we're in." At the same time, the Democratic president-elect pledged to consult with Republicans and approach his administration with humility "and a recognition that wisdom is not the monopoly of any one party." Obama said, "Budget reform is not an option. It is an imperative. We cannot sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars on programs that have outlived their usefulness, or exist solely because of the power of a politician, lobbyist or interest group."

The Fulton County Superior Court judge said he was just fed up seeing a parade of young black defendants in his courtroom. "I came out and saw the defendants, about 99.9 percent Afro-Americans, and some point time I excused some of the lawyers, most of them white, and said to the young people in here 'What in the world are you doing with your lives,'"
