  Hemorrhagic stroke during late stages of pregnancy almost always is a result of preeclampsia. If the reporting doctor didn't inform the hospital that the woman also was suffering from significant hypertension or preeclampsia, instead of just saying that she had an "unusually acute headache," that would help to explain the…

  Ronald Reagan coined the phrase "tax and spend Democrat" to make Democrats appear fiscally irresponsible while painting Republicans as fiscally responsible defenders of taxpayers. However, rather than being fiscally responsible he became the first big "borrow and spend Republican." In the process, he created a situation where the next Democratic…

  No one reported on how much Hillary, Chelsea, and Bill spent on their wardrobes, accessories, and grooming.

  How much do you think has been spent by McCain, Obama, and Biden for nice suits, watches, haircuts, etc. How about their wives and children?

  He's the right-wing xenophobe governor of Tokyo. Enough said.

  Being a right-wing xenophone (or, for that matter, a left-wing xenophile) doesn't mean that everything such a person says is incorrect.

  "Al Qaeda supports Obama."

  Wolfpack, you got this one completely wrong. The Washington Post and a number of other papers have reported that a key website used by Al Qaeda states that Al Qaeda supports McCain, not Obama.

  The amount of Alaskan LNG shipped to Japan rather than the "lower 48" will be replaced in the US by LNG obtained from other sources such as Qatar, Nigeria and Algeria. If the US prevented the export of LNG from Alaska to Japan, then Japan would purchase an equivalent amount…

  The concept of providing health care through use of a comprehensive national health care system (i.e., "socialized medicine") is not the problem. Rather, the problem lies with the implementation of that system. If emergency rooms in Japanese public hospitals are not properly staffed, it means that someone has erred by…

  If these men were serial killers or rapists who had committed their crimes in the United States, they would have been freed by now (regardless of guilt) because of the government's unconstitutional withholding of exculpatory evidence and failure to prosecute them in a timely fashion.

  According to the article, McCain said that the next President of the United States "won’t have the luxury of studying up on the issues before he acts.” I, for one, am truly scared by the prospect of an American president who does not study up on the issues before acting.

  Barfly -- Large, well-managed and well-financed companies such as Toyota will continue to exist. However, Toyota (along with Honda, Nissan and Mazda) may decide to close some factories in the US because of falling sales there. The time when each country manufactured all items needed or consumed in that country…
