I do believe this is the O’Biden (or Joebama, take your pick) campaign’s newest assault on the McPhalin camp. (Yes, McPhalin.) Personally, I don’t remember any of this Keating 5 hubbub because I wasn’t born yet but you can bet your bottom dollar that McCain was alive then. (He was alive when dinosaurs began roaming [...]
John McCain has been around Washington too long and has the skeletons in his closet to prove it.John McCain is once again trying to dress the political wound that never heals: his role in a 1980s banking scandal that is featured in a new Barack Obama attack video.McCain's campaign quickly moved to limit any damage from Obama dredging up the Keating Five scandal of nearly two decades ago.The Republ
When the savings and loan industry collapsed, Keating’s failed company put taxpayers on the hook for $3.4 billion and more than 20,000 Americans lost their savings. John McCain was reprimanded by the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee, but the ultimate cost of the crisis to American taxpayers reached more than $120 billion. The Keating scandal is eerily [...]
Following this post, is a new post about character assassination in the workplace. At the start of that post, I mention how John McCain is using a character assassination strategy against Barack Obama that McCain will rely on through election day. Listening to McCain supporters blowing things out of proportion and misrepresenting facts gave me a feeling of déjà vu. I’ve been the victim of char

John McCain once used his position as a U.S. Senator to stop an investigation of his friend, Charles Keating, who was in the process of stealing $4 billion from U.S. taxpayers. Keating was convicted on 73 counts, but McCain made a $359k investment with Keating that he later sold for $15 million. McCain also falsified his IRS return. READ THIS!read more | digg story

“I was just asked previously about a whole host of issues and associations that are a lot more flimsy than John McCain’s relationship to Keating Five,” Barack Obama told reporters. Obama said McCain's scandalous past was not off limits. Here's hoping he launches into McSame - there's more material there than any comedy writer could ever dream of.read more | digg story

Father Thomas Keating who is one of the architect of the Centering Prayer movement, was present in the Oneness & Heart of the World event at Boulder, Colorado - where i had the privilege to be present. Today was the full day long event with talks, discussion, prayer and meditation with both Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee and Father Keating.Although previously i have listened to Father Keating's talk via youtube when he was invited by Ken Wilber, but this was the first time to watch and listen him talk. He is such a brilliant personality, may God bless him and his work.What really touched me and i'm sure other audience present was his deepness of understanding and wisdom and at the same time the charming ability to express innocent humor. Often time the discussion went into deepest arena of theo
The 1,000bhp club has a new member – and it’s British! With 1,500bhp, the Keating TKR delivers even more power than the Bugatti Veyron supercar.The mid-engined two-seater is designed solely for track use. But don’t panic, as there is a roadgoing model, too. The latter is called the SKR, and looks the same as its more powerful stablemate. It’s available with a choice of four engines, offering outputs ranging from 404bhp to 656bhp. The fastest street-legal car does 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds and can hit 205mph.All models use the same General Motors-derived 6.0 and 7.0-litre V8s, and engineers have used superchargers and twin-turbos to boost power.The Keating’s sleek lines, tall rear spoiler and air vents look as if they are straight from the race track. And with a bespoke steel spacefr

Drudge:"Special Treatment of Lobbyist" Causes McCain TroubleGhosts of Keating Five Past Returns to Haunt McCain?John McCain, a member of the Keating Five back in the 90s, has reportedly tried to talk the New York Times out of running a story about the Arizona Senator giving special treatment to a lobbyist.According to the Drudge Report, McCain has even hired super-lawyer and Washington insider Bob Bennett to tackle the problem.Drudge uses the word "charges": whether he means it in the legal sense of the word is hard to tell.The following just popped up on the Drudge Report website a few minutes ago.Just weeks away from a possible surprise victory in the primaries, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz has been waging a ferocious behind the scenes battle with the NEW YORK TIMES, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, and has hired DC power lawyer Bob Bennett to mount a bold defense against charges of giving special treatment to a lobbyist!

A few months ago, there was a Splogger, a person who steals other peoples posts word for word, started copying my posts but without any reference. I was sad and angry. The splogger was voipniche dot com. This splogger has been copying other people's posts as well. It was clearly a site developed for adsense and I left a few comments to him asking not to do it but did not stop. But suddenly Adsense was gone and he stopped taking my posts. I was happy for it.Today I read at Tom Keating's blog about another splogger (solokay @ Solomon's VoIP World), Copying TMCNet's blog posts, including, well respected Rich Tehrani's posts. This guy is so good that he managed even to get in to Tom's blog roll!I myself have referenced both Tom's and Rich's blog article and continue to read their blogs (and TMCNet) as they provide you with a wealth of information. I hope Solomon comes to his senses and stop what he is doing. I learned to reference other from Andy's VoIPWatch, I like his style.Tom

"She Believes In Me" is a country pop song, recorded by American star singer Kenny Rogers on his very popular 1978 album The Gambler. The song was written by Steve Gibb (but not Steve Gibb,) and is the tale of a songwriter who has a beloved too good for him.The song was a childhood favourite of Irish singer Ronan Keating, and he recorded it in 2004 as part of his Turn It On album. Rewriting the lyric a bit (hence getting some of the publishing royalties) and rearranging the title textually to "She Believes (In Me)", Keating reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart with his treatment. It was at most a modest hit elsewhere in Europe, placing in the Top 30 in three countries there.Download Ronan Keating - She Believes (In Me)

Just when it looked as if we might be starting to whittle down the field of presidential candidates to those who had some vague chance of picking up a handful of votes, some late arrivals pop up to pad out the line-up once again.Shortly before Christmas, former Oklahoma Republican Governor Frank Keating announced that he would decide early in the New Year whether or not he felt the Oval Office calling to him. Keating said "that he's interested in education improvement, national energy independence, immigration reform and border security." He also pointed out that, in a field of candidates all aspiring to be Ronald Reagan, "I'm the only guy that worked for him". I guess if it worked for Jim Webb...Also seeking to defy the conventional wisdom that Americans will elect as their next president someone they have heard of is former Virginia Republican Governor Jim Gilmore. Gilmore - Democrat Mark Warner's predecessor in the mansion in Richmond - thinks he might be able to go where War
Someone recently asked on the Forum why I hadn't added former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating and former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore to the Republican side of my Rankings. The answer is that I haven't got around to it yet. However, I might add that I don't feel any huge urgency about the task. I don't really think either of Messrs Keating or Gilmore is going to make a serious impression on this election campaign, so it's mostly a case of where in the bottom of the pile they go. This is, of course, terribly unfair - as many a Keating or Gilmore fan will seek to impress on me, I have no doubt. They each have distinguished careers and are arguably every but as qualified to be President as any Tommy Tompson, Mark Warner or Tom Vilsack. Just because these people have failed to make much of an impression on me (sitting over here in London, for goodness sake - as far from Oklahoma City as you can get and still have the remotest idea who Keating is) doesn't mean they won't be ab
We want to make sure Obama's announcement doesn't totally overshadow other announcements on the GOP side today. Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo also announced today that he is forming a presidential exploratory committee with the FEC. CBS reports on the event in three short paragraphs to highlight Tancredo's strong immigration stance, and then follows-up the article with notes on Fmr. New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Senator John McCain of Arizona. The ditty ends with the announcement that Fmr. Governor of Oklahoma Frank Keating has decided NOT to seek the GOP presidential nomination in '08. I guess we can count one of the, "Dwarves," out. I assume McCain is breathing a minor sigh of relief that a guy named, "Keating," isn't in the race to remind voters of his scrape with scandal in the early 1990's. As an aside: what bad luck for Tancredo that he chooses to announce his committee on the same day that Obama announces his. Let's hope for Tancredo's sake that this
