Today's Links (9/19)

[Italicized comments are my own and not from the referenced article.]



Sarah Palin said yes, thanks, to a road to nowhere in Alaska
http://www.latimes.com/news/la-na-bridge19-2008sep19,0,1092069.story?track=ntothtml

I'm pretty much sick and tired of Palin. Hearing her talk is turning into fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears ... and when she continues to lie about, well, pretty much everything, that just makes it worse.

Flunking Economics
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/18/AR2008091803052.html

Since he finished something like fifth from the bottom at the Naval Academy, McCain should be used to flunking things ...

Bush's Vapid Reassurances
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2008/09/18/BL2008091801645.html

I hope that White House speechwriters aren't getting paid by the word, because yesterday's comments were so brief as to be almost unnoticeable. And they sure as heck didn't make anybody feel any better ...

As Michigan Goes . . .
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/18/AR2008091803046.html

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Michigan is a dealbreaker ... but it's darn close. It, along with Pennsylvania and Ohio, are going to go a long way towards deciding whether this country gets a fresh start or a third term of Bush 43.

The Jokester: James Carville Hits McCain for His Age, Selection of Palin
http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2008/9/18/the-jokester-james-carville-hits-mccain-for-his-age-selection-of-palin.html

Sure, Carville is often full of hot air -- but even more often, he's got a lot of wisdom. Then there are the times when he's wise and funny. :-)

Who's Whining Now? Gramm Slammed By Economists
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=5835269&page=1

Gramm is nothing but a has-been old doofus. He fit in PERFECTLY with the McCain campaign ...

Where Are Sarah Palin's Tax Returns?
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5839282&page=1

Good question.

Advisers give clue to candidates on economy
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-18-econteams_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip

One key difference between the two candidates is that Obama doesn't need as much advice as McCain does. :-) However, when he seeks it out, at least his team has a freakin' clue and has experience at managing an economy.

Obama: 'Help Main Street' as well as Wall Street
http://us.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/19/campaign.wrap/index.html

Quick question for American voters: which presidential candidate sounds like they understand the economy?
