For those not familiar with the SF Examiner, it is free newspaper that mainly just carries AP articles and ads. It is not the main SF newspaper, the SF Chronicle is.

The SF Examiner gets tossed onto my driveway everyday and to me it is nothing but an annoying chore of having to pick it up and toss it in the recycle bin.

If Newsom was gonna do us a favor, don't stop at plastic bags and water bottles. Include the Examiner. It almost makes me feel bad for the conservatives that do reside in SF, that they are stuck with that intellectually bankrupt rag. But then, it's free so even they thought it unworthy of payment.

COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? ... Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy– Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions

(in her defense, "reducing" and "reductions" are technically two different words, but I think she needs a firmware upgrade)

I don't know why people are even a little paranoid about that. He is in good health and is only 72. Cheney is running on Energizers, has had like 4 or 5 heart attacks IIRC and is only like 4 years younger and he has last all 8 years.
Click to expand...

I'm always amazed when I see someone type "only 72", as if it weren't the median lifespan for men in America. And that's before you consider that most POW's have health problems from long stretches of torture and malnutrition, and that McCain has had cancer multiple times.

Can't imagine why anyone would be worried about his health.

Yeah, and if the unthinkable did occur, it's not like it's going to happen on day 1. Palin's going to have plenty of time to stand by McCain's side and learn from one of the best politicians in Washington how to properly govern a nation. She already knows how to govern a state well, anyway.

Lawmakers from both parties in the House and Senate announced that they have a bailout deal that will pass both houses.

The deal was struck before McCain participated in any meetings on the bailout in Capitol Hill.

PLEASE let McCain lie and say he was in Washington yesterday. I would laugh my ass off at him.

McCain looks like a benchwarmer rushing the field in his clean uniform exclaiming "We did it! We did it!".

Boehner's lame attempt to prop up McCain seems to just be disintegrating. It will blow away by the end of the day leaving McCain back where he was.

Republicans will feign relief that they didn't have to deal with the Maverick and say his coming and kicking their butts was inspiration to get an agreement.

So what the deal with this?

For many years the President and his Administration have not only warned of the systemic consequences of financial turmoil at a housing government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) but also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would encounter such difficulties. President Bush publicly called for GSE reform 17 times in 2008 alone before Congress acted.

Its being thrown out on a lot of other sites as support that Bush was trying to fix this earlier and the Democrats stalled it.

Also I'm still curious about palin's talking point about trade missions?

Screw it, Im quoting myself as i think this is a pertinent topic and deserves some answers.

Probably, but now when he does poorly he has the excuse that he wasn't prepared because he was doing the work of the American people, damnit! Real Mavericks don't have time to prepare, they are too busy canceling on Letterman and saving America!

That was actually probably one of the only things O'Reilly has said that I can actually listen to without cringing.

My colleague Dan Reilly has this from McCain senior adviser Mark Salter:

Salter just walked out of McCain's office here in Russell and was asked if the debate was still on.

"We've got to see," was his response.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
The whole "Russia is our next door neighbor...that's my foreign policy experience" argument isn't going to hold up in a debate. Hell, it doesn't even hold up during softball interviews. I'm sorry, but shit like that would get torn up by a high school debate team with ease. Do they really think veteran politicians can't see through it? The first time I heard it, I couldn't even believe my ears.

So the debates should go on as planned? Excellent.

This man, and I, agree with you.

And if you need more reason, see this:
Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1

I don't want to derail anything, but if somebody could give me a non-paranoid way to interpret the article above, I'd be pretty damn appreciative.

He's the worst when he has his sleeves rolled up, in some vain attempt to invoke Sevareid-like gravitas.

I did enjoy it when they waterboarded him, though.
