In its Friday editions, USA Today reported that the Arizona senator -- a vigorous opponent of political special interests -- helped SunCor Development and its parent Pinnacle West Capital broker a deal to sell land surrounding Luke Air Force Base, near Phoenix, to the Pentagon. McCain inserted a $14.3 million provision in a 2003 defense bill to allow the Air Force to buy land around the base. SunCor ended up getting $3 million for 122 acres it was selling, the largest of the land transactions. It also donated an additional 122 acres. USA Today said SunCor officials had been upset that state laws prohibited development around the base. The Air Force determined that it needed to buy land around the base to prevent development that would hinder flight operations at the base. SunCor's sales price was twice the Pentagon's value for the land and three times the county's assessed value, the publication said. It said people connected to Pinnacle West have donated $224,000 to McCain's campaigns since 1998, and $104,100 to this year's presidential run.

Obama: Carter redux, or it’s déjà vu all over again. Barack Hussein Obama, May 2008: “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.” James Earl Carter, July 1979: “I ask Congress to give me authority for mandatory conservation and for standby gasoline rationing. . . . And I’m asking you for your good and for your Nation’s security to take no unnecessary trips, to use carpools or public transportation whenever you can, to park your car one extra day per week, to obey the speed limit, and to set your thermostats to save fuel. Every act of energy conservation like this is more than just common sense — I tell you it is an act of patriotism.” We have been here before. Do we really want to go back there again? pajamasmedia.com
