Governor Crist Does Right Thing, Gets Hated For It
Florida Governor Charlie Crist has announced that he’s extending early voting hours under a crush of people trying to vote early in Florida. And what does he get?
“He just blew Florida for John McCain,” one plugged in Florida Republican just told me.
That’s a really sad comment, but it’s typical of the GOP in the Bush [...]
Letters from Santa for a Good Cause
We have participated in this Letters for Santa campaign for the past few years. With our four year old, the hardest part of the parenting classes was visiting the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit). I thank God that we never needed the services of this organization, but I so glad that it exists to help [...]
Comment of the Day
On Jonathan Martin’s post about McCain (finally?) returning to Meet the Press via live satelite linkup in Waterloo, IA.

Stat of the Millenium?
According to Portfolio, GM is worth today what it was worth in 1929. Not adjusted for inflation.
Wow. Simply wow. I accidentally got a peek of my IRA when I opened Mint this morning. I had intentionally not looked. I wish I hadn’t.
Wall Street Haz Cheezeburger?
I love the internet. Two guys have taken photos of Wall Street traders and put funny captions under them. Think of it as LOLCATZ but, you know, funny.
I think this one is my favorite so far.
Hell Hath No Fury…
I haven’t posted much due to being extremely busy on a side project, but I couldn’t help but post this.
Missouri’s campaign finance limits ended on August 28th and there has been some serious cash flowing into the Show-Me State. Possibly the best large donation so far has been this one on Friday. It seems that [...]
