Weekend in Review
With just one week to go before the back-to-back major-party conventions, a lot of journalists are catching up on their vacationing. I offer up this proof:
*The New York Times is fronting the news that the Kremlin is going to withdraw from Georgia, but is a bit worried about getting hung up in that terrible Atlanta traffic. Otherwise, check out the vid about how John McCain's politics were "forged in a prison cell."
*The Washington Post has published the winners of its travel photo contest.
*Los Angeles Times goes big with its feature "Secret Spots of the West," a kind of "Escapes" for Angelenos.
*The Washington Times just talks more about Michael Phelps.
*And DCist is talking about what's going on in other cities, just to complete the travel-theme.

Dear American Citizens and the media
Challenge to Media.
As a disabled American Veteran and concerned American citizen.
"We the citizens of the United States of America have the ultimate responsibility to elect the " Right Candidate with the right temperament" to lead our nation'
Our nation is and will be facing many present and future critical internal and external challenges as well as opportunities to address those challenges.
In order to prevent any probable prolong recession and diminished world standing as the sole superpower in the world' Whether it is the moral, democratic, economic, military, and other issues.
I impress upon voters to vote after considering following " qualities and characteristics" of our presumptive presidential nominees.
In my firm professional opinion that the media should help the common voter to explore and discuss following attributes of Hon. Senator McCain and Obama:
1. Calm, cool, and collected " temper " [ Presidential Temperament ].
2. Sound and sustained "Judgment and Caliber".
3. "Thought-fullness and togetherness" of purpose and positions.
4. Minimum "ex-poser and exploitation" around "Washington and Washington insiders".
5. Renewed " Vigor and Vision " for our Great-grand Nation.
6. Foreign policy based on " American Values, Virtuous, Vastness".
7. The campaign based of facts and free of fiction, deception, seduction, and attacks.
I plead to common voter to stay informed, stay involved, and stay engaged.
Do not allow some partisan media, pundits, pollsters, and perpetual political opinion makers effect your vote in the wrong direction.
Please do not be deceived and duped by "Psychological Terrorism" that is being directed at you without your consent and awareness.
Long live U.S.A and its diverse but democratic people.
Col. A.M. Khajawall [Ret] MD., Colonel, USAR / MC Combat Stress Control[Ret], Disabled American Veteran and Iraq Freedom team.
