Caribou Barbie and McCain in Pink, Commies!!!

Still can't make up his mind, this morning PINK McCain / Palin signs waved outside polling places in Miami, Florida. I remember when being pink equated with communism ... as in "McCarthyism," coined in 1950 in reference to Joe McCarthy's witch hunts. Today the term is used more generally to describe demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents. Another backfire for McCain, trying to snare women, but sending a different message instead!

While McCain Looked Away, Florida Shifted

Long early voting lines dispirit Republicans in Florida.

Say it isn't true!

Enjoy this clip from Will Farrell and Tina Fey on last night’s Saturday Night Live Thursday Night Special.

Banks’ Bailout Unlikely to Crimp Executive Pay

Oh no!!! Read it, here!

Kashkari tells bankers they'll find a way around pay restrictions

7:35 PM EST Oct. 14. — Shocking news from the PBS Newshour about the bailout injection of 250 billion into banks. Guest panelist Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research reported that Neel Kashkari, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's surprise choice to lead the nation's $700 billion rescue plan, (designated as the Interim Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Stability) held a meeting with banking officials saying not to worry, they’d find a way around restrictive pay packages! Hopefully the entire panel discussion will be available on the PBS site.

Femafication, Krugman's term, ain't it grand!

From Nobel Prize Winner in Economics: Femafication of government under President Bush contributed to Mr. Paulson’s fumble. All across the executive branch, knowledgeable professionals have been driven out; there may not have been anyone left at Treasury with the stature and background to tell Mr. Paulson that he wasn’t making sense.The New York Times.

Also, more from NYT. The American people have to decide what kind of country they want. Do they want one in which the top 1 percent hauled in more than 21 percent of all personal income in 2005? Do they want a country in which ... the tax system “now levies the poor, the middle class and even the upper middle class to subsidize the rich”?

Why was this blog busted?

Why was this blog put under review by Blogger? I've not violated any rules, it is not spam or a link farm. Is this part of the McCain conspiracy to remove our freedom of speech? It's ironic that this happened during the American Library Association's Banned Book Week.

Gosh darn it, from a very young age my greatest love has always been Jews and Cuban food. And for all those hockey moms, Joe six-packs, and gotcha media, I'll shoot wolves from a helicopter.
