		<description>Hal sends us this "brilliant satiric email phrasing Hank Paulson's giant Wall Street bailout as Nigerian spam." Dear American: I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude. I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you. I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe. This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred. Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds. Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson Bailout Satire (Thanks, Hal!)...

		<title>{ISSUES &gt; BIAS AND BALANCE} - CNN contributor West misled on Raines' and Johnson's purported roles in Obama campaign</title>
		<link>http://articles.world-of-newave.info/society/issues/business/media/bias-and-balance/cnn-contributor-west-misled-on-raines-and-johnson-20080968332.htm</link>

		<pubDate>Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:13:17 GMT</pubDate>
		<description>During the September 21 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs This Week, Washington Times columnist and CNN
contributor Diana West claimed that "two of [Sen. Barack Obama's]
most trusted campaign advisers are deeply implicated in the mess at Fannie and
Freddie. And I'm speaking of Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson. ... It is just
a political fact that Senator Obama must explain." However, both Raines,
a former Fannie Mae chairman and CEO, and the Obama campaign have denied that
Raines is an adviser. Additionally, West did not note that McCain's own
"most trusted campaign advisers" have served as lobbyists for
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or both, as Media
Matters for America has documented. Furthermore, McCain campaign
manager Rick Davis previously served as president of the Homeownership
Alliance, a Washington-based advocacy group whose founding members included
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and which "defended the two companies against increased
regulation," according
to Politico.

Johnson, who had been selected to head
Obama's vice presidential search team, resigned from the
campaign on June 11.

In a September 18 blog post, Politico's Ben Smith posted denials from
Raines and the Obama campaign that Raines is an adviser to Obama:



Raines
said in the statement through the campaign, "I am not an advisor to Barack
Obama, nor have I provided his campaign with advice on housing or economic
matters."

Obama
spokesman Bill Burton added an attack:


This is
another flat-out lie from a dishonorable campaign that is increasingly
incapable of telling the truth. Frank Raines has never advised Senator Obama
about anything -- ever. And by the way, someone whose campaign manager and top
advisor worked and lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shouldn't be throwing
stones from his seven glass houses.



During a September 20 speech, Obama said of
the purported Raines connection: 


The
same day my opponent attacked me for being associated with a Fannie Mae guy
I've talked to for maybe 5 minutes in my entire life -- the same day he did
that -- the head of the lobbying shop at Fannie Mae turned around and said, wait a minute,
"when I see photographs of Senator McCain's staff, it looks to me like the
team of lobbyists who used to report to me." 


Mother
Jones reported on September
17 that the following McCain campaign officials have lobbied for Fannie Mae,
Freddie Mac, or both: chief political adviser Charlie Black, national finance
co-chairman Wayne Berman, congressional liaison John Green, Arthur Culvahouse,
who reportedly headed
McCain's vice-presidential search team, and William E. Timmons Sr., who reportedly "has
been tapped by the McCain campaign to conduct a study in preparation for the
presidential transition." According to a Media
Matters search of the Senate Office of Public Records' Lobbying Disclosure Act Database,
Black lobbied for Freddie Mac from 1999 to 2004; Berman for Fannie Mae from
2004 to 2008 and for Freddie Mac in 2004; Green for Fannie Mae from 2004 to
2007 and for Freddie Mac in 2003; Culvahouse for Fannie Mae in 1999, 2003, and
2004; and Timmons for Freddie Mac from 2000 to 2008.

A September 22 New York Times article -- headlined,
"Loan Titans Paid McCain Adviser Nearly $2 Million" -- reported
that Davis "was paid more than $30,000 a month for five years as
president of an advocacy group set up by the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations, current and former
officials say." From the article: 


But
last week the McCain campaign stepped up a running battle of guilt by
association when it began broadcasting commercials trying to link Mr. Obama
directly to the government bailout of the mortgage giants this month by
charging that he takes advice from Fannie Mae's former chief executive,
Franklin Raines, an assertion both Mr. Raines and the Obama campaign dispute.

Incensed
by the advertisements, several current and former executives of the companies
came forward to discuss the role that Rick Davis, Mr. McCain's campaign
manager and longtime adviser, played in helping Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac beat
back regulatory challenges when he served as president of their advocacy group,
the Homeownership Alliance, formed in the summer of 2000. Some who came forward
were Democrats, but Republicans, speaking on the condition of anonymity,
confirmed their descriptions.

"The
value that he brought to the relationship was the closeness to Senator McCain
and the possibility that Senator McCain was going to run for president
again," said Robert McCarson, a former spokesman for Fannie Mae, who said
that while he worked there from 2000 to 2002, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
together paid Mr. Davis's firm $35,000 a month. Mr. Davis
"didn't really do anything," Mr. McCarson, a Democrat, said.



From the September 21 edition of
CNN's Lou Dobbs This Week:


KITTY PILGRIM
(guest host): What's your reaction to Senator McCain's approach to this crisis?

HANK
SHEINKOPF (Democratic strategist): It's called center-right populism. He's got
everything in place. He's trying to create an inspirational moment. He's
found the enemy. He's -- needs the -- he's got Palin for religion,
and he has got an economic drum to beat. Welcome to America. Not much has changed since
the 19th century.

PILGRIM:
All right. Diana?

WEST:
Well, you know, I think that it's -- it is political, of course, but I
think that a lot of what this crisis will ultimately shake out, because I think
the polls, as we can -- more closely resemble EKG measurements than actual
political sentiment. But Senator Obama's -- two of his most trusted campaign
advisers are deeply implicated in the mess at Fannie and Freddie. And I'm
speaking of Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson.

I don't
know how Senator Obama distances himself from that, and I think that's exactly
a very important point politically for Senator McCain to hit home. But it
doesn't strike me as simply a matter of partisan politicking. It's just a
political fact that Senator Obama must explain.

PILGRIM:
Well, Senator Obama also came out and, in fairness, let's put up his comments
that he had to say about a plan for his -- for the financial markets.

OBAMA
[video clip]: We cannot only have a plan for Wall Street. We must also help Main Street. I'm
glad that our government's moving so quickly in addressing the crisis that
threatens some of our biggest banks and corporations, but a similar crisis has
threatened families, workers, and homeowners for months and months, and
Washington has done far too little to help.

PILGRIM:
Now, this seems more like standard political campaign talk. He did not have as
many specifics about what he would do. In fact, he actually took a step back
and said, "Now is the time for the Treasury and the president to take the
lead on this" and offered very few specifics. Errol, thoughts on this?

ERROL
LOUIS (New York
Daily News columnist): Yeah. I --
well, I mean, that -- yeah, that reflects the reality that he doesn't have a
perfect, or even decent, information about what to do. This is not a time to
start, you know, trying to make policy for one of the biggest crises that hit
the economy in a generation.

But,
you know, I gotta address something that Diana said. I mean, it is true that
people who are involved in the mess are close to the Obama campaign, but it's
nothing nearly like what's going on, on the McCain side, where he's --
lobbyists for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, all of
the -- AIG -- all of the groups that are being bailed out are right there at
the top of this campaign, and he himself, as longtime chair of the Commerce
Committee, was part of the oversight mechanism in Washington.

So, if
it's broken, you know, the guy who was there for years and years and years, I
think, has to take at least as much, if not more, blame for what has gone
on.

together paid Mr. Davis's firm $35,000 a month. Mr. Davis
"didn't really do anything," Mr. McCarson, a Democrat, said.



From the September 21 edition of
CNN's Lou Dobbs This Week:


KITTY PILGRIM
(guest host): What's your reaction to Senator McCain's approach to this crisis?

HANK
SHEINKOPF (Democratic strategist): It's called center-right populism. He's got
everything in place. He's trying to create an inspirational moment. He's
found the enemy. He's -- needs the -- he's got Palin for religion,
and he has got an economic drum to beat. Welcome to America. Not much has changed since
the 19th century.

PILGRIM:
All right. Diana?

WEST:
Well, you know, I think that it's -- it is political, of course, but I
think that a lot of what this crisis will ultimately shake out, because I think
the polls, as we can -- more closely resemble EKG measurements than actual
political sentiment. But Senator Obama's -- two of his most trusted campaign
advisers are deeply implicated in the mess at Fannie and Freddie. And I'm
speaking of Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson.

I don't
know how Senator Obama distances himself from that, and I think that's exactly
a very important point politically for Senator McCain to hit home. But it
doesn't strike me as simply a matter of partisan politicking. It's just a
political fact that Senator Obama must explain.

PILGRIM:
Well, Senator Obama also came out and, in fairness, let's put up his comments
that he had to say about a plan for his -- for the financial markets.

OBAMA
[video clip]: We cannot only have a plan for Wall Street. We must also help Main Street. I'm
glad that our government's moving so quickly in addressing the crisis that
threatens some of our biggest banks and corporations, but a similar crisis has
threatened families, workers, and homeowners for months and months, and
Washington has done far too little to help.

PILGRIM:
Now, this seems more like standard political campaign talk. He did not have as
many specifics about what he would do. In fact, he actually took a step back
and said, "Now is the time for the Treasury and the president to take the
lead on this" and offered very few specifics. Errol, thoughts on this?

ERROL
LOUIS (New York
Daily News columnist): Yeah. I --
well, I mean, that -- yeah, that reflects the reality that he doesn't have a
perfect, or even decent, information about what to do. This is not a time to
start, you know, trying to make policy for one of the biggest crises that hit
the economy in a generation.

But,
you know, I gotta address something that Diana said. I mean, it is true that
people who are involved in the mess are close to the Obama campaign, but it's
nothing nearly like what's going on, on the McCain side, where he's --
lobbyists for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, all of
the -- AIG -- all of the groups that are being bailed out are right there at
the top of this campaign, and he himself, as longtime chair of the Commerce
Committee, was part of the oversight mechanism in Washington.

So, if
it's broken, you know, the guy who was there for years and years and years, I
think, has to take at least as much, if not more, blame for what has gone
on.

		<title>{AUTOS &gt; MAGAZINES AND E-ZINES} - Hyundai Going Electric With Hybrids and Plug-Ins</title>
		<link>http://articles.world-of-newave.info/recreation/autos/magazines-and-e_zines/hyundai-going-electric-with-hybrids-and-plug-ins-2008094962.htm</link>

		<description>



Hyundai's been making so many announcements about electric vehicles and hybrids lately you'd think it was ZAP. The Korean automaker's promised to put a hybrid subcompact, a hybrid mid-size and a plug-in competitor to the Chevrolet Volt on the road within five years. There's even some speculation at least one of them could be stamped "Made in the USA."



Hyundai's going full-bore with its electric program, launching a partnership with Korean companies LG Chem, SK Energy and SB LiMotive to develop the batteries its cars will need if they're to start hitting the road by 2010 as promised. LG's got a solid background, having provided some of the batteries General Motors is considering for the Volt. The Japanese dominate battery tech these days, but Hyundai says the Koreans could catch up by 2013 -- at which point the company hopes to put a plug-in hybrid on the road. Korean automakers are spending nearly $1 billion on battery tech, and the government has kicked in $40 million.

We'll see the first of the Hyundais to use that technology in November.
John Krafcik, Hyundai's VP of product development, announced the new Sonata hybrid will make its debut at the Los Angeles International Auto Show in November and could be on the road by 2010. It'll use a lithium-ion battery, making it the first partially-electric Sonata since Switched-On Bach.

Don't confuse the gas-electric mid-size Sonata with another hybrid Hyundai in the works -- a propane-electric hybrid based on the Avante
(known here in the states as the Elantra) that promises 37.9 miles per gallon. The subcompact could be on the road as early as next year, but there's almost no chance we'll see it here
even though its propane powertrain could make a billionaire out of Hank
Hill.

Early signs suggest the Sonata hybrid will be made in America. Hyundai spokesman Jim Trainor was coy when asked if the hybrid will be built in the same Alabama factory that cranks out the standard Sonata (pictured) and would only say Southerners build some mighty fine cars. "The workforce down there and the products
they're building are awesome," Trainor told the Birmingham News. "The quality coming out of
the plant is awesome. Certainly careful consideration will
be given to those sorts of things when we're looking at
where a vehicle like that will be built." 

Hyundai's a rags-to-riches story
better than any early-evening nominating convention speaker could offer. From the
dowdy Excel to the overly tarted-up sedans of the early 2000s, Hyundai
has matured into the ultimate "cocktail party car" -- comfortable yet
unobtrusive, well-built but not overwrought. The incredible Genesis and stately Sonata
prove the carmaker has truly arrived. 

Producing what could be the first lithium-ion hybrid to hit the street would be a major coup for Hyundai and a boon for Korean battery manufacturer LG.

LG's got a solid background, having provided some of the batteries General Motors is considering for the Volt. The Japanese dominate battery tech these days, but Hyundai says the Koreans could catch up by 2013 -- at which point the company hopes to put a plug-in hybrid on the road. Korean automakers are spending nearly $1 billion on battery tech, and the government has kicked in $40 million.

We'll see the first of the Hyundais to use that technology in November.
John Krafcik, Hyundai's VP of product development, announced the new Sonata hybrid will make its debut at the Los Angeles International Auto Show in November and could be on the road by 2010. It'll use a lithium-ion battery, making it the first partially-electric Sonata since Switched-On Bach.

Don't confuse the gas-electric mid-size Sonata with another hybrid Hyundai in the works -- a propane-electric hybrid based on the Avante
(known here in the states as the Elantra) that promises 37.9 miles per gallon. The subcompact could be on the road as early as next year, but there's almost no chance we'll see it here
even though its propane powertrain could make a billionaire out of Hank
Hill.

Early signs suggest the Sonata hybrid will be made in America. Hyundai spokesman Jim Trainor was coy when asked if the hybrid will be built in the same Alabama factory that cranks out the standard Sonata (pictured) and would only say Southerners build some mighty fine cars. "The workforce down there and the products
they're building are awesome," Trainor told the Birmingham News. "The quality coming out of
the plant is awesome. Certainly careful consideration will
be given to those sorts of things when we're looking at
where a vehicle like that will be built." 

Hyundai's a rags-to-riches story
better than any early-evening nominating convention speaker could offer. From the
dowdy Excel to the overly tarted-up sedans of the early 2000s, Hyundai
has matured into the ultimate "cocktail party car" -- comfortable yet
unobtrusive, well-built but not overwrought. The incredible Genesis and stately Sonata
prove the carmaker has truly arrived. 

Producing what could be the first lithium-ion hybrid to hit the street would be a major coup for Hyundai and a boon for Korean battery manufacturer LG.
