					<description>It can't happen before sun down today due to the end of the Jewish holiday.  I'm not sure however how anyone in the house that is Jewish will have had time to read the updated proposal before being told to vote on it.  Should be interesting.</description>

					<description>I've been thinking that if Bush really wants to help repair the financial mess we find ourselves in, he would fly down to Crawford and cut brush for the next five weeks.</description>

					<description>All the policy wonks in HQ are getting a little punch drunk from trying cram some knowledge - any knowledge - into Sarah Palin's head in preparation for the VP Debate in 2 days. She doesn't seem to be retaining very much, but she remains perky, none the less. The consensus from all who have spent time with her is that within six weeks, she'll be back in Wasilla, hunting moose, and preparing for the next baby that God wants her to have - back, at last, in her element.

All talk of a mole in the Palin/McCain 2008 Campaign has died off, which has steamed Marlene no end. She's had quite enough of this stodgy, inbred town and is ready to move on. She's been reading travel brochures for Steamboat Springs and Baja California, looking forward to spending the winter skiing and surfing. We have been able to amass a small fortune during our time in DC (thanks, Mr. McCain!) and she was really hoping for some playtime this winter. She had already chosen her next identity - Felicity - and her new cover - a graphic arts teacher in a progressive middle school in rural Iowa. There will be time enough for that after the election, but meanwhile, there are still a few low hanging monetary fruits to be harvested. 

I've made myself an unofficial comptroller of the various slush funds that the Republicans have salted away (and, believe me, the numbers are legion!). I've specialized in vote rigging and minority voter suppression at the polling places. These Republicans spend tons of money in these two areas alone and I've been able to install a few new guidelines that make tracing the cash nearly impossible, from either end. The more paranoid of the contributors to these funds greatly fear the government's ability to follow the bread crumbs back to them, so they were more than willing to adopt my accounting slights of hand. I tell you, this scam will be the best one yet. It'll make the looting of Tom DeLay's "retirement fund", look like a small town carny shell game.</description>

					<description>Wax off.

You caught me, Chris. It's amazing the swill that gets spilled in the name of McCain, ain't it? The ACORN earmark thing isn't even mentioned in the bill--nowhere, nada; the meager low income housing provision goes to states and municipalities--and they've got people all riled up over it as if all 700 B is going straight into the pocket of some corner thug. 

Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying the show, so...

Wax on.</description>

					<description>Thanks, PM. What a cute video. A little saccharine, but I enjoyed it. 

Really? Is that how you define 'vile?' I'm guessing strawberries and kittens are pretty low on your list, as well. 

Frankly, I'm still laughing. Is that really what you are using to scare folks with these days? 

I certainly see how it might scare your faithful, but it delighted me. I'd also be delighted to see some young McCain supporters doing the same thing, though these days you would probably have trouble finding enough of them. 

Oh my. I'm beginning to think you are a fake shill, and that you're actually promoting BHO. Maybe you are Samuel at a new level. Please continue posting, as I'm beginning to enjoy your flights of fancy. And keep up the good work. Indeed, Yes You Can.</description>

					<description>Chris, I think it's much more fun "learning" from the people people you work for.
Bringing children into this is the ultimate in vile:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW9b0xr06qA

Shouldn't the little tykes be wearing little Mao hats?
Shot by Jeff Zucker with a steadi-cam no less! If McCain pulled that, you'd be going crazy.

Piglet, I suggest you check out ACORN, and see what your shock troops have been up to the last few years.

To be fair, both parties were responsible for this mess, Bush for trying to conspire with Carl Rove to establish a republican voting block of hispanic "home=owners" but remember Obama took it to court to intimidate banks, as a "community organizer."

Yes, we can can can...</description>

					<description>Hey fake McCain, did you even bother to follow up the story you asked me to look at with the station that originally filed it. If you bother to, it might teach you something about yourself, and the people you work for. The tone that you guys are taking--I'm guessing you're a pro--is to act like thugs and then cry about how the people you are attacking are thugs.</description>
