California  vintners in the Napa Valley area, which primarily produce Pinot  Blanc, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new  hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. 
It is expected  to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the  bathroom during the night. 

The new  wine will be marketed as

Comment:
Suddenly because Powell is endorsing obama he is not as evil as he used to be? Yet, Powell was the one encouraging the Iraq war claiming they had WMD. Anyone with intelligence knows that Powell is endorsing based on race.

98% of black people are voting for obama just because he is black. White people are split between obama, nadar, and McCain. Think about it.

The truth is this is a race campaign. The Democrats control the senate and congress and have the lowest approval rating in US history. The Democrats couldn’t even beat Bush in the elections thus why they are going after the black vote in the US, about 45 million blacks. Thus, why obama voted present over 130 times, avoided the tough issues, and never challenged his party leaders on senate to preserve his political career. Only 143 days on state senate when he decided to run for office.

The Democrats lost because the US is not a socialist/communist system. Americans fought against Nazi Germany, their socialist party, and communist USSR for decades, just to name a few.

Again, Clinton supported deregulation and introduced FTAs like NAFTA. That is why the US economy was strong during his administration. McCain also supports deregulation and fights for FTAs like NAFTA. These initiatives will help our economy. Our economy is very important, McCain is better for our economy. I hope people get educated before they vote.

US businesses create US jobs. obama wants to limit the growth of US businesses, which is limiting the growth of US jobs. If you increase tax on US businesses they will either just relocate to a lower tax country taking American jobs with them, pass the added tax cost to consumers or go bankrupt. GM and Ford can barely compete globally and obama wants to tax them more. The smaller businesses that are reliant on GM and Ford will also be greatly affected, destroying more US jobs.

The US is the land of opportunity not the land of equal outcome. Why should government take your money and give it to people who are already on welfare to spread the wealth?

former U.S. General Colin Powell endorses Barack Obama

Colin Powell, one of America’s most respected Republicans, today Sunday October 19, 2008 endorsed Barack Obama in his presidential bid, declaring him a “transformational figure” and delivering a stinging rebuff to John McCain, a man he has known for 25 years.

The former Republican Secretary of State, who considered his own bid to become America’s first black president in the 1990s, said his decision was not due to race but because Mr Obama had met the standard to be an “exceptional president”.

The move comes as the Obama campaign announced that he raised a staggering $150 million last month, shattering his previous fundraising record on $66 million in August. The campaign claimed 632,000 new donors, for a total of 3.1 million to date, with the average contribution being $86.

Conservatives sweep North Shore

Both ridings, West Vancouver – Sunshine Coast and North Vancouver have been taken by the Conservative Party bringing down the 2 incumbent Liberals. To be more accurate, Blair Wilson was elected under the Liberal banner in 2006 but was force to resign from caucus. Six weeks ago he switched to become the first Green member of parliament. He ended up a distant third candidate with only 16% of the vote after running as the Green candidate. In North Vancouver, Conservative elected candidate John Saxon collected 42 % of the vote to incumbent Don Bell. Bell has held the seat since 1994 and widely popular as former mayor of the District of North Vancouver.
