Bits and Pieces for the Week of October 19 - 25

Wow. Here's a sobering assessment and projection of the U.S. auto industry's fate during the next several months, along with a prediction of what will happen to the financial markets once the vote-counting from the November 4th election is finished. (Mike)

Yet another reason this is becoming not just a U.S. economy crisis, but a world crisis. Also, if you know anything about the U.S. banking system, then this post will scare the pants off of you.(Mike)

More endorsements for McRage... bu$h votes early for McCain. And the hits keep coming. (7 of 6)

While we watch the election intently, another Veteran Administration scandal is taking place. The Shredder Scandal: Documents that are critical to Veterans' disability claims have been shredded. (7 of 6)

OK, when does Obama start hitting McRage on Charles Keating? Especially after the UK Times Online reveals Keating's law firm and associates have given McCrapper 50K in donations! (7 of 6)

The hits keep coming for McRage: KKK endorses McCain. Wow, the KKK and Al Qaeda endorsing McErractic in the same day. Where's that Hamas endorsing Obama argument now, Loserman? (7 of 6)

If the rest of the world could vote in the U.S. election, these would be the results. (Mike)

Bernanke Endorses Obama. It's getting bad for McRage when the Fed Chief jumps ship! (7 of 6)

My only question about this story is, what was Obama doing in Miami in the first place? Isn't that where terrorists often pal around? Isn't that really close to CUBA (cue scary music)? I'm sure McCalin would consider such charitable behavior as un-American. (Mike)

Wingnuts to the rescue. Joe the Plumber gets bailed out. "Say it ain't so Joe!" "You betcha!" (7 of 6)

How cool is this... Buckypaper: is 10 times lighter but potentially 500 times stronger than steel... with video. (7 of 6)

Forget Joe the Plumber. Meet Joe the Mechanic, and even more importantly, Jocelyn in a truly heartbreaking and maddening story. (Mike)

Yes, keep sending our soldiers back to Iraq! Continue stop-loss programs! No need to worry about our young soldier's mental health! Six soldiers from a single brigade at Ft. Carson, CO have been "accused of murder in less than one year." (7 of 6)

Newspapers that backed bu$h in 2004 now backing Obama in 2008: The Denver Post, Chicago Sun-Times, Kansas City Star. Southwest News-Herald (Ill.), the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. And the shocker, The Salt Lake Tribune. Johhny Boy, if a Republi-KKKon can't win Mormon country, mail it in! (7 of 6)

In West Virginia, those wonderful touch voting screens are in the bag for McRage. (7 of 6)
