The BoBo Carnival of Politics – November 23, 2008 Edition
Posted by: The BoBo // Category: Politics
Hi All! Welcome to yet another edition of the carnival. This is a little different this weekend. I normally read through all of the submission and add some commentary or teasers for our readers. However, I am not quite done with my last term paper (25 pages minimum not including title page, abstract, tables, references, etc.). So – I’m not able to comment this week.
I will fulfill my obligation and make sure this gets published – and – I promise that next week we’ll have a much better and more in depth carnival. In the meantime – you may recognize some of our contributors this week – and – you will see there are some new ones. Please go visit their blogs and comment on their posts. These look very interesting.
Also – I will be back up and running full steam again beginning tomorrow! Yee Haw!
Conservative
Curry Kenworthy presents So now it’s time for unity? posted at Curry Kenworthy, saying, “Where was the beautiful unity and brotherhood all this time during the last eight years?”
Liberal

Libertarian
Steve Gillman presents The New Ideas Blog » Blog Archive » Am I Represented? posted at The New Ideas Blog.
DWSUWF presents Monday Miscellany – Special Bear Market Blues Edition posted at Divided We Stand United We Fall, saying, “To solve a problem that was created by too much government spending, too much government debt, too much easy government sponsored credit, and a market distorted by massive government intervention we are now given to understand that we need to increase government spending, government debt, and create more market distortions with more government intervention. That strikes me as insane.”
News
Ben presents Building a Sustainable Economy posted at Grown Ass People, saying, “How can we build a more sustainable and equitable economy from the global financial crisis?”
Dana presents Nebraska’s safe haven law posted at Principled Discovery.
Politics
Matt Urdan presents Beyond Proposition 8: The U.S. Gay Marriage Ban Amendment posted at Inside Government, saying, “An in depth and non-partisan look at the California amendment, the history, and federal precedence leading up to this vote.
Anna Callahan presents Fight Fire with Water: How Obama Won the Presidency posted at Indie Times, saying, “Was it Bush’s low approval rating? Obama’s stance on Iraq? McCain’s VP pick?

Jayson Gibson presents Hope for Homeowners Act of 2008 ?What’s At Stake? posted at New Homes Section Blog, saying, “Information about the Hope for Homeowners Act of 2008. Details about problems in our current economy and how each problem relates to the Hope for Homeowners Act of 2008.”
debergerac78 presents Secretary Paulson refuses to apologize … but he should! posted at The Business Ethics Blog, saying, “The U.S. Treasury Secretary deviates sharply from the bailout plan, the economy suffers, and still he refuses to accept responsibility.”
Kia Kanpa presents America, Capitalism, and a general ramble. posted at KiasWorld Blog, saying, “Just a general political ramble.”
Allen Scott presents Pay No Attention to the Man behind the Curtain posted at Journey Across the Sky, saying, “We all wear masks of some sort, putting our best foot forward when we are attempting to persuade others to follow our plans or objectives. It is really evident when applying for and interviewing for a new job or position. We dust off our resumes and make every attempt to put the best face on our past failures while underlining our accomplishments. We want others to see us favorably, regardless of who we really are.”
Scott Mahler presents How Will an Obama Administration Help the Housing Market? posted at Mahler & Associates Appraisals, saying, “Barack Obama has a lot on his plate, now that he has won the presidential election. Between rising foreclosures and falling home prices, housing issues are probably the number one thing on many American’s minds. Because of the continuing crisis in the housing market, it is likely that President elect Obama will hit the ground running once he takes office, and for many people in the current real estate market, it will be none too soon.”
Bhupendra Khanal presents Obama Could Become a War President posted at Analytics Bhupe, saying, “Obama is the change. But will he change US is yet to be seen.”

Hi Matt – just took a quick break. The paper is on the epidemiology of multi and extreme drug resistant TB in the U.S. and a look at the re-emergence of TB as a whole.
