Bits and Pieces for the Week of September 21 - 27

Electric device that can boost fuel efficiency in cars and trucks by as much as 20 percent (Mike)

McCain was FOR campaigning and debates before he was AGAINST campaigning and debates before he was FOR campaigning and debates. (Mike)

From Eugene Robinson of the WAPO... "Drama King to the Rescue" "John McCain is rapidly making his temperament an inescapable issue in the presidential campaign. Does the nation really want so much drama in the White House?" (7 of 6)

Must-read post by Hunter about the pending fat-cat bailout and Congress' failure to propose a better alternative (Mike)

If you go to Bloomberg.com and click the "live TV" box on the left side, you'll get a live feed with financial news/interviews. During the commercial breaks they show current stock prices. (Mike)

McCain hasn't read Paulson's bailout plan yet. You really can't blame him. The report is TWO WHOLE PAGES LONG. (Mike)

So now Palin may not attend the V.P. debate on Oct. 2, now get this, in case Congress still hasn't reached a deal on the bailout package. That's because Governor Palin is a member of Congress??? Biden's a Senator, but his debate schedule is still on. Here's my guess: McCain has secretly cut a multi-million dollar movie/book deal on how to not run a presidential campaign, and is just trying out all his theories before penning them. You got a better explanation? (Mike)

I guess McCain ran out of lies, so they had to suspend the campaign until fresh b.s. could be created. (Mike)

Student suspended. An 11 year old, 5th Grader wears a shirt that says, "Obama is a terrorist's best friend." Daddy must be proud to raise his kid right... what's in the closet, them white sheets with holes in them? (7 of 6)

CEO murdered by sacked workers. No, not in the United States, but in India. Wow... if that don't send a chill up CEO's spines everywhere. (7 of 6)

Test your knowledge of the candidates. I scored 100% Obama. (Mike)

That didn't take long, bu$h approval ratings down to 19%. (7 of 6)

Read why the neocons are increasingly against the latest proposed $700B government bailout. Hint: Democrats might be in charge in a few months. (Mike)

It's Christmas! Get your loan in to the Treasury now and the government will pay it off! And then your kids will pay that off, but who gives a shit! (Mike)

Tent cities starting to pop up accross America. Don't call them "Hoovervilles", this is bu$h's doing... call them "bu$hville$!" (7 of 6)

Obama and McCain have started work on Presidential transition teams. It's telling that McPalin has: "...William E. Timmons, a longtime Washington lobbyist whose clients have included the American Petroleum Institute and the mortgage company Freddie Mac." Can we really afford 4 more years of "repuke" rule? (7 of 6)
