Needed: More Maverickliciousness

So I don't know what to make of this bailout business, especially now that it has collapsed.

But if McCain's BOLD campaign "suspension" did not save the day it is time for new Maverick Moves! How 'bout he suspends time itself! Yes! Be cryogenically frozen and await--in suspended animation--until the polls change!

I have to agree with Paul Krugman here.

So what we now have is non-functional government in the face of a major crisis, because Congress includes a quorum of crazies and nobody trusts the White House an inch.
As a friend said last night, we’ve become a banana republic with nukes.

Biden with Bark and Bite!

Here's Joe Biden in PA talking about job loss, the economy, and how taking pot shots and community organizers, questioning other peoples' patriotism, and whining about the media is not going to help those in need. This guy's got a little of the Joe Cool that Joe Stains has:



Hey--it was a McCain operative who said "It's not about the issues..."

Here's Joe rootin' for my hometown team:

Fightin' Blue Hens!

Send help, please

I just read this story "It's a class war stupid" by Matt Taibbi about increasing poverty rates in the U.S. in the last decade. It includes this story sent to Senator Bernie Sanders-VT:

I am a single mother with a 9-year-old boy. To stay warm at night my son and I would pull off all the pillows from the couch and pile them on the kitchen floor. I'd hang a blanket from the kitchen doorway and we'd sleep right there on the floor. By February we ran out of wood and I burned my mother's dining room furniture. I have no oil for hot water. We boil our water on the stove and pour it in the tub. I'd like to order one of your flags and hang it upside down at the capital building... we are certainly a country in distress.

And then I watched this video of Bush joking about the stock market being "drunk" and then joking about how he's going to retire to Dallas, not that durned Crawford ranch.

You'll note he's laughing at us, not with us.
