Cheney must keep records, judge orders
http://us.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/20/cheney.lawsuit.ap/index.html

Right -- like Tricky Dick Cheney is going to let a little thing like a court order get in the way of his plans. The man is truly evil.

The Old Neighborhood

The words of an Alaskan on the subjects of his home state and Sarah "Lying Her Butt Off" Palin ...

McCain’s Camp Tests Fund-Raising Limits
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/20/us/politics/20donate.html

I'm still not sure why McCain felt the need to accept federal money for this election. He's raised a fair bit of cash, and the RNC is stinkin' loaded.

Meanwhile, the Other No. 2 Keeps On Punching
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/20/us/politics/20biden.html

Keep throwing bombs, Joe. Even if people aren't paying a lot of attention now, they soon will be. More and more light is shining on the McCain/Palin trainwreck.

The Political Legacy of Baaad Boy Atwater
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/20/opinion/20sat3.html

Lee Atwater was a true political scumbag. All you need to know about him is that he was (and probably still is) one of Karl Rove's idols.

McCain and Obama different on style as well as substance
http://www.latimes.com/news/la-na-assess20-2008sep20,0,5272591.story?track=ntothtml

I don't want a president who is quick to the trigger and doesn't think things through, and that's exactly the sort of person John McCain is ...

Todd and Sarah Palin unchallenged in Fox interviews
http://www.latimes.com/news/la-na-onthemedia20-2008sep20,0,1925719.story

Well, no s*** ... did anybody actually think that Faux News would do anything else?!

Candidates clash over the economy
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-campaign20-2008sep20,0,4443954.story?track=ntothtml

Why is anybody listening to anything that McCain says about the economy?! He's clearly clueless about it.

Bush's Shifting Ideology
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/19/AR2008091903997.html

The second terms of presidents are always different from the first ... but one thing that is consistent is that Bush is still an idiot. Definitely still "Dumba** Dubya the Smirking Chimp!"

Biden, in Ohio, Sees Hurdles Ahead
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/19/AR2008091903589.html

There is still a lot of work to do ... but McCain is in trouble.

On Economy, Obama Offers Ideas, McCain Blames Rival
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/19/AR2008091903823.html

Is this a surprise to anybody?! Republicans are skilled at identifying problems (or what they think are problems) and telling you who is to blame ... but when it comes to solutions, they tend to come up empty.

'Road to Nowhere' opens in Alaska http://us.cnn.com/2008/US/09/20/road.to.nowhere.ap/index.html

$25 million for a road that serves no purpose?! And Palin has the guts to say that she's against earmarks and pork?!
