    By wws on Sat, 11/01/2008 - 2:12pm |
    There was a wonderful article in the Times yesterday about those of us who worry to extreme:http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/01/us/politics/01angst.html?pagewanted=2&... note: my dashboard has been inexplicably eradicated, as have my buttons for "following" and "follow me."

    OK, I have a question. How was John McCain serving his country when he was 17?

    By CVille Dem on Fri, 10/31/2008 - 6:55pm |
    I just saw his new ad, and I heard for the umpteenth time that he has been serving the country since he was 17.  He was born in 1936, which would put make him 17 years old in 1953.  He...

    WOW Fox's Neil Cavuto Takes a Big Jump Off The McCain Swing

    By mageduley on Fri, 10/31/2008 - 2:33pm |
    This is really amazing. In this clip, Neil Cavuto (yes..that Neil Cavuto) is taking McCain to the shed over his erratic economic stances. He cites many examples of the campaign's totally inconsistent message and informs him that is the reason...

    How I May Have Contributed to Obama's Infomercial

    By Ripper on Thu, 10/30/2008 - 5:07pm |
    I can't be sure, but the Obama campaign's recent half-hour ad may have drawn something from the videotape I sent them this spring. It was an original 1992 Clinton campaign video "The Man from Hope," one of the few copies...

    Both parties responding nimbly to the woes of the wealthy and both equally deaf to and slow to respond to the cries of the common people

    By oleeb on Thu, 10/30/2008 - 4:23am |
    The economic crisis was caused in large part because millions of Americans could not pay their mortgages when interest rates kicked in that were far too high for them to be able to maintain payments on their home loans.  As...
