The Buffalo News has seen them, and confirms :
Congressional candidate Jon Powers released documents Wednesday showing that he earned $15,000 from his Iraq children’s charity in the first five months of 2007 — a year in which the organization raised only $41,738.
But the Powers campaign also released a letter from Veterans for America, the huge veterans organization where Powers worked, showing that the $60,000 he earned in 2006 was tied to his job as vice president for policy for that organization, as well as the War Kids Relief effort he ran there.
“Our opponents keep trying to frame it as if Jon was trying to rob War Kids blind, and it’s patently false,” said John Gerken, Powers’ campaign manager. “The claim that he took $77,000 from War Kids is patently false.”

Cold War Kids From: houstonpress.com Post Date: 2008-10-22 16:11:56
Thanks in no small part to his throaty wail and sturdy songwriting, Nathan Willett has expertly steered his Orange County quartet Cold War Kids from mere blog buzz to a sweet record deal, worldwide attention and now a domino-like series of sold-out tour dates at big venues.

Dave Sardy isn’t known for much else than his producing work with bands like LCD Soundsystem , Soulwax , Wolfmother , Cold War Kids , and recently the new Oasis album. However in the mid-90s, he fronted the… (in post Market of Bark from katarokkar... . Download this at eMusic Amazon )... more
Here’s the latest from Cold War Kids, off their new album Loyalty to Loyalty. I’m really digging their new shiz — Loyalty is chock full of lots more grungey, bittersweet garage rock.
The video below actually comes from a live 5-song Myspace performance. Normally, I think MySpace is on the same level as my taint, but this is actually pretty dope — they offer the entire live show, streaming and/or download, for FREE .
There’s even an unreleased song called ... more
Yesterday, it looked like Jon Powers would be removed from the Working Families Party line, and Democratic congressional candidate Alice Kryzan would take his place. Late last night, a Federal judge overturned the previous ruling, according to the Buffalo News . The battle over the third-party line is significant because Powers garnered 36 percent of the vote in the September Democratic primary — and if he is barred from the ballot, those voters wouldn’t see the Iraq War vetera... more
This story is an absolute outrage . Yet another in a laundry list in what Andrew Sullivan calls “Cheney’s America”. She’s also got a blog . In Icelandic, so have fun with that. In any event, the story:
During the last twenty-four hours I have probably experienced the greatest humiliation to which I have ever been subjected. During these last twenty-four hours I have been handcuffed and chained, denied the chance to sleep, been without food and drink and been... more
