Accident Halts Live TV Game Show in Germany

By not in system - AOL News

BERLIN (Dec. 5) - A live broadcast of a popular German game show was halted after a contestant was severely injured while trying to jump over a moving car driven by his father. The accident occurred Saturday night just before Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber was to appear on the show, prompting him to say on his Twitter account: "Please pray for Samuel Koch & his family as we wait and hope for his health and safety."

McCain Invites Obama on Iraq Junket

By Dave - Politics Daily

This is just brilliant. McCain contrasted Obama's accused negligence with the Illinois senator's proposal to meet with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, asking, "Why is it that Senator Obama wants to sit down with the president of Iran but hasn't yet sat down with General Petraeus, the leader of our troops in Iraq?" The McCain camp's criticism of Obama's single pre-surge trip to Iraq originated Sunday, when surrogate Sen. Lindsey Graham raised the issue and proposed a joint McCain/Obama trip to the region as a solution. (McCain has visited eight times to Obama's one.) McCain told the ...
