5.8 Earthquake strikes near Los Angeles 3 miles from Chino Hills. I live south of the epicenter and this earthquake was the largest and most shaking I’ve felt in over 10 years. No damage in my area but I’m about 30-40 miles from the epicenter (klaasend).
UPDATE I: Earthquake downgraded to a 5.4. So far no reports of major damage or injuries.

McCain vs Obama … A Tale of Two Gallup Polls, Likely vs Registered Voters … McCain up by 4
A Tale of Two Gallup Polls and the one the media will never report …
Not only are poll numbers just a snap shot in time, they can be manipulated and presented in an manner that the media wishes to present them. However, in some cases we must take pause and take a real good look at the poll, its timing and the events that just took place. Thus is the case where the Gallup poll in the course of one day had Barack Obama leading John McCain 48% to 40%, while in another Gallup poll McCain was actually leading Obama by 4% points, 49%-45%. Barack Obama has had nothing but favorable press and still he finds himself behind.
THAT IS CORRECT … Republican candidate John McCain has a +4% leading in a Gallup poll among “likely voters.” However, the Gallup poll that always gets reported by the media is the one they take of “registered voters” where Obama leads. At one point Obama was ahead in both polls; however, that is no longer the case. This news is an obvious Pepto moment as the Obama campaign comes off their world wind tour of Europe and the Middle East only to find Obama losing ground badly among “likely” voters.
The Friday-Sunday poll, mostly conducted as Obama was returning from his much-publicized overseas trip and released just this hour, shows McCain now ahead 49%-45% among voters that Gallup believes are most likely to go to the polls in November. In late June, he was behind among likely voters, 50%-44%.
Among registered voters, McCain still trails Obama, but by less. He is behind by 3 percentage points in the new poll (47%-44%) vs. a 6-point disadvantage (48%-42%) in late June. (USA Today)
Rasmussen is also reporting in his polls that Obama’s EU tour bounce is gone.
So why is it that the media only wants to show the polls favorable to Obama?
Since you can’t read it in the media, read it from the bloggers:
- Hot Air: Wow: McCain leads among likely voters in new Gallup poll; Update: Young voters sour on Obama?
- Patterico’s Pontification: Now Isn’t This Interesting: USA Today/Gallup — McCain +4 over Obama
- Ace of Spades: Surprise (Outlier) Poll: McCain Actually Leads Obama by 4, Among Likely Voters

The abduction of Reigh Rockefeller (Reigh Storrow Boss) by her Father Clark Rockefeller … Sailing to Caribbean?
First there was an AMBER ALERT issued for 7 year old Reigh Rockefeller in Boston, MA. It appeared that this was another common case of a father acting in the emotion of the moment abducting his daughter during a supervised visitation. Amber Alert has been call off; however, the little girl is still missing.
The couple was divorced last December and Boss legally changed her daughter’s name from Reigh Storrow Rockefeller to Reigh Storrow Mills Boss last year
However, it has turned into a much more methodically and orchestrated plan by Clark Rockefeller over the past several months to abduct and kidnap his daughter, Reigh Rockefeller (Reigh Storrow Boss). His plan to kidnap his daughter involving multiple vehicles, accomplices and a yacht
Police said they now believe the man who called himself Clark Rockefeller, aided by at least one accomplice and two escape vehicles, was headed for the 72-foot yacht The Serenity, which he recently purchased and moored somewhere on Long Island, N.Y.
The Coast Guard yesterday sent up a Falcon patrol jet to scour the ocean for the boat, Rockefeller and his daughter, Reigh “Snooks” Storrow Mills Boss.
According to reports, Clark Rockefeller lost custody of Reigh amid concerns that he might attempt to abduct the girl. I guess their concerns were justified, although one would think that if abduction and kidnapping was such a concern, there would have been greater restrictions made for visitation.
Police said Rockefeller goes by the aliases J.P. Clark Rockefeller, James Frederick, Clark Mill Rockefeller and Michael Brown. Although investigators located records listing his date of birth as Feb. 29, 1960, a source said he does not appear to have a valid Social Security number.

But she said getting a child back home depends on whether the countries involved have signed the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, a treaty designed to provide a smooth and speedy resolution to returning a child taken from one member nation to another.
