John McCain slips up, as reported by the Huffington Post.While it's not the worst gaff anyone could make, it is quite funny and if Barack Obama made it, thousands of McCain supporters would have this comment on T-shirts.In the interests of fairness, the Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire blog reports this Obama gaff.“Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United Stat
A key economic adviser of the John McCain campaign, Carly Fiorina, has disappeared from public view after she questioned whether McCain and his running-mate, Sarah Palin, were capable of leading a large US corporation.
By Michael JohnsWith some of America's largest and most prestigious financial institutions undergoing a threatening liquidity meltdown, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has not hesitated to seize the opportunity to exploit the situation for political gain. Despite being the second largest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac political donations in the entire United States Congress,
"If we're going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily," Obama said. What Obama apparently meant was that McCain, not Obama, has put out more negative ads.
Remember what I said about Biden's negatives as a VP choice? He has serious problems staying on message. Here's an example from today of what I meant by that...From the Politico:I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disab
It appears the Apple big wig Steve Jobs snuffed it via electronic gaffe yesterday, as a slip up by news outlet Bloomberg mistakenly sent an incomplete obituary of the Apple CEO over the wire.

McCain makes a small flub, and it’s national news. “The One” spews out a doosie in Israel, and its crickets out of our socialist media (video)…

This guy is a Gaffe-omatic second to none.Most of us know beyond a shadow of a doubt that each term of the presidency is 4 years. We also know that if a sitting president is re-elected, his total term - barring removal via impeachment - will be 8 years. Apparently, Barack doesn

"I had a uncle who was one of the, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps," Obama said, slowly and methodically. "And the story in my family is that when he came home, he just went into the attic, and he didn't leave the house for six months. Alright? Now, obviously something had affected him deeply, but at the time, there just weren't t

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy tifava per l'avversaria del futuro marito, Segolene Royal, prima che Nicolas Sarkozy conquistasse l'Eliseo. Il tabloid Mirror, in occasione della recente visita della coppia presidenziale in Gran Bretagna, ha rispolverato oggi un'intervista della cantante ed ex modella realizzata alla vigilia delle elezioni presidenziali francesi del 2007. Nell'intervista confessava che la sorella Valeria la spronava a tifare per la candidata socialista Segolene Royal. La signora Sarkozy però era sicura che Royal avrebbe perso, il che "è un peccato perché un socialista farebbe un governo migliore". "E Sarkozy? Ah, non so... Sa come sono i francesi". Ovviamente non poteva mancare la parte dell'intervista sul matrimonio, già ripresa da diversi media, definito da Carla una "trap
CLINTONS ARE CLINTONS - NO ONE IS SURPRISED The spotlight ought not be taken off of Obama and his racist Pastor Jimmy Z - I listened to the radio this morning, and the discussion centered around the fortuitous Bosnia lie that Hillary told; a benefit because it has taken Jeremiah Wright off of the front page. While we are still talking about two leftists who ought not be elected to lead our free country into socialism and even communism, I must say that Hillary’s embellishment of her trip to Bosnia is nothing compared to what Obama is trying to excuse and explain away. Barack Obama’s pastor/mentor/friend of 20 years is a racist, anti-Semitic, hate-mongering bigot. This is not who Obama is; Wright is who Barack admires. Wright is who Barack looks to for spiritual le

The other large headline in the world of Politics is McCain’s supposed Gaffe about the war on terror. This was posted on the Washington Post’s Blog, or one of them at least. Although, right at the moment, I cannot seem to bring up the Blog, looks like the Washington Post needs to get better hosting for their Blog or better servers. Of course, the Neo-Conservative apologists are coming out in full force defending John McCain and saying he was right in the first place, armed with talking points galore, they look more like Amway salesman, than they do political pundits. Whether or not the statement was a gaffe or not, is quite frankly irrelevant in my mind. It overlooks the broader issue, that this so called “war” in Iraq was, in fact, a tragic mistake, that was ba
Repetition in politics can get boring (Cox is thinking particularly of "education, education, education" or "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime") but somethings that never get old are Dubya's verbal gaffes.In a televised address he gave out the wrong help line number so that home owners expecting to get through to a call centre providing adivce on higer interest rates instead found themselves getting through to Freedom Christian Academy in Texas.Adding stupidity to embarassment the President repeated the incorrect number, 1-800-995-HOPE, twice instead of 1-888-995-HOPE which left left callers hoping for a miracle (which they probably enquired about when the school answered).Those eager for more entertainment on the Dubya front can visit: http://www.dubyaspeak.com/
Hardbeatnews, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007: President Bush had another ‘oops’ moment yesterday as he pushed his ‘No Child Left Behind Act’ before fourth and fifth graders from P.S. 76 in New York.
Terminate le fatiche loretane Nero Corvino è tornato alla sua noiosa vita di sempre, noiosa routine di piccola città, alla ricerca noiosissima di un lavoro o quantomeno uno stage che lo porti in una grande città. Qualcosa si muove ma stavolta è la burocrazia a mettermi i bastoni tra le ruote, speriamo bene.

When you’ve just made it sound like the Queen is more than 200 years old, there may be a few ways of recovering from the gaffe.
But turning to her and giving her a sly wink is probably not included in any book of royal etiquette.
That’s what happened yesterday after George Bush mangled his greeting to the Queen on her state visit to the U.S.
Stumbling over his words, he came perilously close to suggesting that the monarch had toured the States in 1776.
And although the President’s following wink was initially rewarded with a regal glare, the Queen did at least seem to see the funny side of the blunder.
After the blunder the President paused and turned to the Queen to acknowledge his gaffe, joking that she “gave me a look that only a mother could give a child.”
Ripples of laughter echoed around those gathered at the event and the President laughed off the mistake and continued his speech.

Over the past seven years, since I stepped out of college, I have realised that here in India, at least, the most important requirement for being selected for any job is 'good communication skills'. It does not really matter if the position in question is Rocket Scientist or Software Developer or Business Manager or Salesperson. The chief criterion remains the same.It does not really matter if a candidate for the position of Rocket Scientist knows little about Rocket Science or if the one who wishes to be selected as a Software Developer is not too well versed with the tools of his or her trade or if the aspiring Business Manager does not know too much about Business Management or if the one who wishes to become a Salesperson for a B2B (business-to-business) IT (information technology) solution has sold only carpets in the past, as long as they all have 'good communication skills'.The question now arises as to how do companies identify those with 'good communication skills'.
