The
New York Times continues it's sell out for Obama -
"
Senator Biden did well, avoiding one of his own infamous gaffes, while showing a clear grasp of the big picture and the details. He left Ms. Palin way behind on most issues, especially foreign policy and national security, where she just seemed lost. It was in those moments that her lack of experience"
...Where they watching the same debate.
Neither did great and certainly never "outshined" the other, like the NYT would have us believe.

I read "NEW YORK - President Bush sought to assure anxious world leaders on Monday that the United States is taking "bold, aggressive, decisive action"" in my RSS feeds this morning...and thought, "bold aggressive, and stupid".
Have the lost the concept of "free market" an idea that has been the envy of the world?
The bright side - We don't have to think before making financial decisions anymore, the government will bail us out!

Well there goes "free market"
Bush Team, Congress Haggle Over $700B BailoutWASHINGTON — Strapped homeowners could get government help renegotiating their mortgages as part of the $700 billion financial bailout legislation taking shape in Congress.
...
Lawmakers on both extremes of the political spectrum assailed the plan as a massive, poorly conceived bailout. Conservative House Republicans and liberal House Democrats both huddled privately Monday to express their concerns, and they were drafting their own legislative alternatives.
"Poorly conceived", I'd say taking a large portion of a "free market" and putting it under government control is "poorly conceived"...maybe more like idiotic!

This is really a good read and makes sense if someone from the president on down will read before making taxpayers responsible for bad business decisions...and past "bad governing" that got us here in the first place...
The Corner on National Review OnlineIt’s time to end the silence and clear up the confusion.
Congress has an obligation to protect the taxpayer.
Congress has an obligation to limit the executive branch to the rule of law.
Congress has an obligation to perform oversight.
Ain't going to be a season for the record books...at least not for the desired reasons!
Florida dominates Tennessee again
KNOXVILLE — Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton kept repeating the phrase over and over, as if he were in a trance or in denial.“We shot ourselves in the foot, we shot ourselves in the foot,” he said after No. 4 Florida jumped up 17-0 in the first quarter and coasted to a 30-6 victory over the punchless Vols before a Neyland Stadium mob that booed loud and long before heading to the exits early.Indeed, Tennessee (1-2, 0-1 SEC) gave a whole new meaning to “bang-bang plays.”

By the way, I ain't a big McCain guy; however the alternative is...well communism? At the very least, the other guy is anti everything American, like freedom.

Looks like McCain
lost Richard Cohen's vote - Do you really care? I am sick of media types, liberal or conservative, thinking they have so much power... Face it, readership is down, people are going to other sources, and no one who thinks for themselves really care what they think - Face it MSM ain't got the juice it once had!

I found this interesting - Barack Obama received the

Now that I have tested this mobile utility, I just may post more...
I know when I was real active posting (2004) it was mainly political stuff and opinions, but I really got sick of some of that - So if I do get started going again it will have some opinions and some tech and some sports. None of which will be to interesting, but I may have fun and that is what is important ain't it.

We are blessed to have such smart people and a medium to share the "genius" with us - Like we didn't know the obvious. Amazing how this mathematical fact, "more cannot go out than is coming in", doesn't seem to be so obvious to the "genius" and the "media" when it comes to Social Security. Interesting how that works, ain't it!
Greenspan: No McCain tax cuts without reduction
WASHINGTON (AP) — Alan Greenspan says the country can't afford tax cuts of the magnitude proposed by Republican presidential contender John McCain — at least not without a corresponding reduction in government spending.
None of us should ever forget! Where were you when you heard?
Take a movement to remember those lost - to remember what we are up against - remember what America stands for!
Bush to Mark Sept. 11 With Moment of Silence
The moment of silence at the White House on Thursday will occur at 8:46 a.m. — the exact time in 2001 that terrorists slammed the first of two jetliners into the World Trade Center.
I am giving Keytoss a try and liking it better than iGoogle right now... You can register and personalize here. Give it a test drive.
Does anyone other than I find the current rhetoric over the Georgian "war"...or conflict, baffling. Many people, including me, knew Russia was not done - In fact, many intelligent people (those on the left will say they are ignorant), have warned of action like this for years - YES, before W took office. ---It is not President Bush's fault; however, if you believe he is to blame please e-mail me. I got some really good stuff to sale and your elevator skips a floor or two---
Seriously, what better time for Russia to pull this, to flex their muscle? America is in an election season, the Olympics are going on, and America is talking of pulling troops out of Iraq.
Do you understand "pulling troops" - As we replenish our "stateside" force we will be capable to quickly respond to any world incident...So would you wait till your enemy, or your exact opposite, was at full strength to strike? I doubt it.
Are you getting the picture yet? Should you really be surprised? Should any of us "really" be surprised?
Of course, you may be surprised if you truly believe America is at fault, believe that America is the cause of all things bad, or believe that America owes anyone... For the record American owes no country a thing.
I felt it was worth noting - An American holiday out in favor for a Muslim holiday...anybody got a problem with this? I reserve my comments. for now.
Tyson Drops Labor Day for Muslim Holiday
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. — Workers at the Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day but will instead be granted the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr.
Nothing like holding individuals and companies accountable for their own actions and decisions - Guess there is really no hope this will ever happen as long as politicians are able to buy votes and the population feels they should not be responsible for their mistakes. Maybe, just maybe, soon the government will start reimburse the monies lost at casinos - After all those that lost were only trying to make life better for themselves and their family!
President Bush Signs Housing Bill to Provide Mortgage Relief
The measure, regarded as the most significant housing legislation in decades, lets homeowners who cannot afford their payments refinance into more affordable government-backed loans rather than losing their homes.
It offers a temporary financial lifeline to troubled mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and tightens controls over the two government-sponsored businesses.

For those of you interested in more than a free ride you might find this a good read. Be careful though the numbers will tell you something that you have never heard before - Lower taxes work,
...precisely what supply-siders predicted would happen with lower tax rates on capital gains, dividends and income. The economy and earnings would grow faster, which they did; investors would declare more capital gains and companies would pay out more dividends, which they did; the rich would invest less in tax shelters at lower tax rates, so their tax payments would rise, which did happen.
Their Fair Share - WSJ.comThe data show that the 2003 Bush tax cuts caused what may be the biggest increase in tax payments by the rich in American history.
Barack Obama says he's going to cut taxes for those at the bottom, but that's also going to be a challenge because Americans with an income below the median paid a record low 2.9% of all income taxes, while the top 50% paid 97.1%. Perhaps he thinks half the country should pay all the taxes to support the other half.
I know what you are thinking the rich paid more...YES, no matter what a liberal tells you!
