Dentistry Today: Giant Panda Cub Has First Erupted Teeth
Suzan Murray, chief veterinarian, performs the panda cub’s eighth examination. All four canine teeth and all 12 incisors have erupted through the panda’s gums.
The Washington Post has Panda Cub’s Public Debut Postponed Until December.
The public debut of the National Zoo’s giant panda cub will be delayed until at least December because he is not venturing out of his hidden den and his mother does not appear willing to let him do so, animal park officials said yesterday.
Although the black-and-white bear now resembles a toddler more than an infant and has been walking short distances on all fours, zoo spokeswoman Peper Long said officials have “pretty much decided” that he will not go on public display in mid-November, as previously announced. Now, they are looking at going public in December.
Check it out…. the Giant Panda will eventually have 42 teeth.
That is alot of enamel…….

California Special Election Watch: Gay Rights Group STIFFS Schwarzenegger
The ASSociated Press has Equality California to oppose all five Schwarzenegger-backed measures on November ballot.
California’s most prominent gay rights group is telling Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that it’s payback time for his veto last month of a bill that would have granted marriage rights to same-sex couples. Equality California is taking aim at five ballot proposals the Republican governor is backing in a special election scheduled for November 8.
On the list: Proposition 74, which, among other things, would make it harder for new teachers to gain tenure. Equality California says that would make it easier for districts to target teachers because of their sexual orientation. Proposition 76 would give the governor broad new powers to limit state spending, removing some guaranteed funding to schools and health care programs. The group worries that it could cut off vital services to people living with HIV. And Proposition 77 would change who draws up political districts—Equality California says it’s an attempt to elect more antigay legislators and defeat those who voted for the marriage equality bill.
The group also opposes the two other propositions: One would require doctors to notify parents before performing an abortion on a minor, and the other would force labor unions to get the permission of members before donating dues to political campaigns.
And WHO really thinks this Leftie group would have endorsed these special election propositions if Governor Schwarzenegger had signed the Gay (Same Sex) Marriage Bill?
NOBODY!

Harriet Miers Watch: What Advantage for the RIGHT?
Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers waits for Senator Charles Grassley before their meeting at the Hart Senate office building on Capitol Hill in Washington October 4, 2005.
Reuters has Bush defends Miers nomination, noting her religion.
President George W. Bush said on Wednesday that religion is part of Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers’ life as he tried to counter complaints that she may not be conservative enough and the White House acknowledged two other potential candidates had withdrawn.
After disclosure that several staff lawyers for Republican senators had questioned Miers’ credentials, Bush again expressed confidence that she would win Senate confirmation.
“She’s going to make a great Supreme Court judge,” Bush said of Miers, now the White House counsel and Bush’s former personal lawyer.
“People are interested to know why I picked Harriet Miers,” Bush said. “They want to know Harriet Miers’ background, they want to know as much as they possibly can before they form opinions. And part of Harriet Miers’ life is her religion.”
The White House is scrambling to bolster support for Miers amid calls from some conservatives that he withdraw her nomination. Officials have noted that Miers is a conservative Christian whose church opposes abortion to try and quiet her critics.
For Flap’s friends on the RIGHT who do not support Harriet Miers’ nomination to SCOTUS, remember it is the President’s CALL.
The United States Senate has NO reason not to confirm her.
Hugh Hewitt asks the question as does Flap previously “What is the advantage of carrying on the attack from the right?” Answer: None.

Harriet Miers Watch: Eating Their Young Part II
Vs.
Michelle Malkin has this tongue in cheek comparison, LAURA INGRAHAM ON MIERS.
Laura was on Hannity & Colmes tonight making some of the most cogent, non-sexist, and non-elitist arguments against Harriet Miers I’ve seen and heard over the last excruciating week. Watch the whole thing at The Political Teen (thanks, Ian).
I’m with Miniter: Laura Ingraham for SCOTUS!
😉Michelle, we all know that Laura is OVER-qualified.
:oD~~~~~~~~

Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Unions Getting Personal With Maria Shriver
The San Francisco Chronicle has What Shriver won’t talk about with Oprah.
Schwarzenegger’s wife backed candidacy but is declining to talk about his initiatives.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s latest dilemma in his uphill battle toward the Nov. 8 special election carries a catchy musical theme: “How do you solve a problem like Maria?”
Maria — as in the California first lady, as in Democratic royalty, Kennedy clan member, and uber-campaigner for her famous husband.
Shriver is scheduled to appear today as a guest on “Oprah,” but it’s what she won’t say that may speak volumes.
Shriver, a former reporter for NBC News, will appear on the nationally televised talk show as a journalist to discuss “America’s Invisible Poor” — not the top-of-mind political agenda of her famous husband, who conducted 10 radio interviews alone Monday to pump up his lagging polls and fend off attacks from a barrage of negative TV ads regarding his special election agenda.
So, what?
The pro-union, leftie San Francisco Chronicle now gets personal about California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wife, Maria Shriver.
This personal scrutiny of Shriver is NOT on the society page or even the editorial page page but on a news page.
Why?
To embarass the Governor.
William Randolph Hearst couldn’t have done a better hatchet job.
