Whew! Well, I for one am RELIEVED she cleared that all up.


I have seen the actual Newsweek (where I am right now, they're subscribers" and can say that frazz is right. I cannot believe how idiotic people can be. Well, as long as they're sticking to the important issues.

Heh. On the other hand, here is today's headline:

Probe Finds Palin Abused Power in Case of Trooper

I thought she had cleared herself. I don't understand. Isn't the "I didn't do it so stop bothering me" defense enough?

The newest gambit is that Palin now declares the probe found she had done nothing wrong.

That's enough for me!

People who can lie about something so clearly a lie really scare me profoundly.


The report said she abused power. The finding said she abused power. All the newspaper reports on the decision say the findings were that she abused power.

How can she say they found she did nothing wrong?????

Ummmm...she'll spin it to say abusing power=good? Like, she's being a powerful woman? Ya think?

She is out and out claiming triumph. As in an actor saying they GOT the part, when they did NOT.

FINAL DEBATE! Ok, I though McCain was less shockingly weird and robot-llike than he was in the previous two, and though he almost actually tried to present some substantive viewpoints, he didn't stick with that intention, and therefore did not do it. His Ayers and Joe the Plumber stuff were just pathetic.

Obama continues to seem like a reasonable, intellegent, interested-in-finding real solutions to making our collective everybody-who-does-not-make-quarter-of a-million-dollars lives better.

I do not blame people who make $260,000 a year, have mortgages they cannot afford, for opposing him. He will not help that 2% of people.

But I surely do not understand anybody making less than $200,000 oposing him. And I really do not understand zilionaires caring who wins on a financial level. They have zillions and are immune to real concerns.

Love to hear all other points of view, especialy from all those who make more than a quarter of a million a year.

My local plumbers might make that much. Goodness knows they charge four times what I make per hour to have a visit.

(Somehow I doubt they do make that much around here, but I know that both they and I work very hard for all our income).

Joe the Plumber isn't a quarter-millionaire just from working hard for years and years as McCain says. If he actualy makes that much, he is ripping off people like me.

I thought McAin did okay for the first 30 minutes but after that it went downhill. hE kept brigbing up Ayrs and the terroist connection. You Know what ? People DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THAT. we are in a recession. Do you know that 10% of americansare now on food stamps? Look the economics and the policies of the last eight years have not worked. PERIOD.

I do understand that there are people who have lots of money, however they got it, not wanting to give any of it to anybody else.

I just wish they would all move to a monarchy somewhere.

Hmmmm...interesting concept. I'll bring it up to my friend. ;-)

THIS! Is interesting!!!!!

Quote:

Unlikely Newspapers Endorse Obama AP posted: 4 HOURS 2 MINUTES AGO WASHINGTON (Oct. 17) - Democrat Barack Obama on Friday won endorsements from two unlikely newspapers -- the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. While the Tribune is the largest daily in Obama's hometown, the publication hasn't backed a Democrat in its 161-year history. And the Times hasn't endorsed a presidential candidate since 1972, when it backed President Richard M. Nixon's re-election. This is also the first time it's endorsing a Democrat for president. In an editorial posted on its Web site, The Tribune said the country needs a president who can lead it through a "perilous time" and restore "a common sense of national purpose." Obama is the best candidate to do that, the editorial board said. "We have tremendous confidence in his intellectual rigor, his moral compass and his ability to make sound, thoughtful, careful decisions," the Tribune said. "He is ready." The Tribune said it liked Republican presidential nominee John McCain, but added that it's "hard to figure John McCain these days." The Times, the country's fourth-largest newspaper, said McCain's campaign had left the candidate "nearly unrecognizable." His selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for running mate was "irresponsible," it said. "Palin is the most unqualified vice presidential nominee of a major party in living memory," the Times said. "The decision calls into question just what kind of thinking — if that's the appropriate word — would drive the White House in a McCain presidency." The Times said the U.S. needs a president who displays grace under pressure, is not prone to volatile gestures and understands the legal foundations of American freedom. "Obama is educated and eloquent, sober and exciting, steady and mature. He represents the nation as it is, and as it aspires to be," the Times said.

Yep, it does seem that more of mainstream America is wanting some calm and substantive reasoning in the top power layer. Tha tis a very good thing, in my view.

on another note, Sarah Palin was on Saturday Night Live tonight. I am sure there will be clips so you can see it onoline, so I won't summarize now.

My take: Palin would actually much rather have a career doing something like performing on SNL than being Governor or President.

She seems just plain depressed on the show. She danced (incomprehensibly) to a rap song trashing her and her views. She (or at Least MCCain's campaign) could certainly have gotten her out of it, so why did she do it? Insane.
