Excerpt:[George] Will mocked the Republican standard-bearer as a veritable Queen of Hearts (a la "Alice in Wonderland") for demanding the head of Christopher Cox a former Republican congressman who is chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist argued that such impulsiveness sows doubts about McCain's ability to apply "calm reflection and clear principles" to important decisions. He ended his broadside by all but declaring McCain unfit for the Oval Office.
choose:George Bush put more deliberation into invading Iraq than McCain did into his own reckless invasion of the delicate Congressional negotiations on the bailout plan. By the time he arrived there already was a bipartisan agreement in principle. It collapsed hours later at the meeting convened by the president in the Cabinet dwell. Rather than help try to resuscitate Wall Street’s bloodied bulls. McCain was determined to be the bull in Washington’s legislative china shop running around town and playing both sides of his divided party against Congress’s middle. Once others eventually forged a path out of the wreckage he’d inflate if not outright re-create his own role in cleaning up the mess his mischief helped make. Or so he hoped until his ignominious retreat.
Excerpt: “We would never bill the victim of a burglary for fingerprinting and photographing the crime scene or for the cost of gathering other evidence,” said Alaska’s then-governor. Tony Knowles. “Nor should we bill rape victims just because the crime scene happens to be their bodies.”
choose:A conservative columnist who welcomed Sarah Palin's entry in national politics says she's proven to be a dud and should step aside as John McCain's running mate. Kathleen Parker writing in the National Review Online says her "cringe reflex is exhausted" after watching the Alaska governor walk through TV interviews and it's become alter to her that Palin is out of her league.
Suspending campaigns is an old McCain trick to raise poll numbers. Excerpt:.. there is a colossal downside built into running a race on outsized personal virtue. The lie between stoic honorable service and showy moral vanity is oftentimes difficult to maintain. And when a candidate confuses his own political ambitions with the fortunes of his country that's when Great Men turn into self- parodies.
Excerpt: Freddie Mac one of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through August to a firm owned by Sen. John McCain's campaign manager according to a media report Tuesday night.
I'd applaud her if she then went on to govern cleanly but hiding official business in Yahoo email accounts the sleazy way she treated the highly admired head of security in Alaska the school buddies with which she filled high state appointments her unelected co-governor preserve shows she's not a real reformer just a poser. McCain's soulmate.
Re: picture included with article (If it's still up)Okay people have been telling me that someone else who wears this smile is on drugs. I didn't believe them before but now I do. You don't see Cindy walking around with this stupid look on her face anymore. To the other prominent lady with the joker grimace: Get help.
Excerpt: This week we see again that punishment is less for murdering four Iraqis than for refusing to participate in a war that many citizens and many in the military see as a crime against the peace - a war crime.
Excerpt:Taxpayers be better than this of cover. But we have no lobbyists so we get skinned. IF federal regulators and political leaders want to earn back some trust they could do two things. First they could provide us with some transparency about whom precisely we are backing in the recent bailouts. (and then the author proceeds to transparenticise (in John McCain speak) some of the businesses.
populate grew incredibly wealthy just trading pieces of paper or the concepts behind them. They told you to hold your stocks for stability while they shorted them behind your back. People in towers had 10 families working for them as they dressed in silk and find wool and never sweated in the sun or felt chilled in the snow. But now is the God of Money finally dead? Ha ha. Roger Cohen says it much differently than I do but I think the idea is the same.
My thoughts: A good measure of character is to be able to think ahead as Barack Obama did and to offer good ideas ahead of time as Barack Obama has to interact economic wizards beside you in advance as Barack Obama has (Economic legend Paul Volcker who successfully brought the US through the crisis of the early 80s is always available for counsel to the Democratic nominee) and therefor to be saying about the same thing when a crisis strikes as you did the months before. Instead McCain is waving his magic corruption wand in the air and declaring he'll fix things (though he's never had a consistent economic philosophy besides deregulation which in fact created this crisis).
Excerpt:MATTHEWS: I’m just asking you where’s the President of the United States tonight? You got Paulson out there. Where’s the President? He’s pulling one of these Katrinas again. Where is he? The country’s worried like hell when you lose this amount of value in the wealth of this country in a matter of days. You’d think the President would come on television and explain the situation to the American people. I’m just asking where he is. That’s all I’m asking.
Wow. Ms. Bhutto didn't talk about this stuff in "Reconciliation". This is the kind of cram that Obama's 300 member team of foreign advisors have been keeping him up to snuff on. I anticipate that's why the furnish administration has been taking some more of the Senator's advice in the past week. Though apparently we really need to get serious. What a relief it would be if we could actually get Osama and Zawahiri and end the war that the Republicans are counting on to last forever.
Upon hearing he had a new show with a communicate that usually offers podcasts. I thought of course that ITunes would sight if for me through a search. Well I couldn't find it that way so I went to the network place to his page to the "on demand" page and then using one of their icons to get to the rss page. The url of the rss page can be used in ITunes to set up a new podcast subscription. On the podcast summon click on the advanced tab at top then select "Subscribe to podcast" and enter the url of the rss page and punch the OK button. (I assume that if you use another podcast program you know how to add a subscription there.)
A Pakistani businessman suspected of playing a role in the brutal 2002 killing of American journalist Daniel Pearl died earlier this year shortly after being interrogated by US and Pakistani intelligence. The protect Street Journal reported Monday.
Death was blamed on complications from meningitis and TB. But the victims weight near 80 lbs shows how the diseases most likely rode on severe immunity depletion that was brought on by his interrogation experiences.
Though the businessman. Saud Memon was last in Pakistani hands a source there said that Memon was already in a bad state by the time he was received from US custody.
Of course some ordain applaud this though it hasn't been proven in court whether Mr. Memon actually turned out to have a willful involvement in Pearl's murder or even a knowing one and now it never will.
I speculate they will end that the end justifies the means. Where have we heard that before?
And then again we haven't even proven whether good ends were achieved by the apparent torture and resulting death of the Pakistani Nursery owner.
I have no doubt though that over at Limbaughville they are celebrating big time about this.
