Debate Afterword; Economic Catastrophe

Hmm. Before a few words on our impending economic doom, a few notes on the debate, after settling for a few days.
I thought it pretty even between McCain and Obama, even after reading all the commentary afterwards that punditized it for McCain, and polled it for Obama.  Problem was, I wasn’t among those who needed [...]

Live-Blogging the First Debate

9:06PM — Er, John — Kennedy’s already out of the hospital.  But a nice message nonetheless.
9:10PM — Old McCain speaks well about accountability/responsibility. Obama is talking to the audience, not McCain (McC isn’t looking at O either).  McC = “change Warshington.” O = people are hurting.
9:15PM — McC will fix economics by reigning in federal [...]

Bailout Follies

Various Takes on Suspensions

Letterman:

More succinctly, Indexed:

Cray-zee, is what I say.

Seems Reasonable

This bailout thing is freaky, mad freaky.  But this post seems eminently reasonable, and worth putting up in its entirety:

Via the New York Observer.
The coffee, it came close to coating my computer!
This is awesome.

Tuesday = Not All That Super

I don’t think anyone expected slam-dunks out of the uber-primaries, and that’s certainly what didn’t happen.  Lots of support for both across the board.  Romney’s just flushing money at this point, though, which I find amusing.

Super-Duper

(Tuesday)
(oh, and Bowl)
Will be interesting to see what happens tonight, and how the endorsements roll over the next week or so.  Republicans look more locked up than the Dems, but that could easily change as well.
As for the Super-Duper Bowl, well, it was odd: for the first time in 27 Super Bowls, a team I [...]

Ah well.

Looks like my guy is dropping out.  Not terribly surprising considering the results of Iowa and New Hampshire.  He really needed better PR guys.
