The falling dollar…

One more from Dave Winer at The Scripting News:


Is it me or are we in real trouble? When 20+ years back, we thought a $1.5B bailout for Chrysler was a big thing, and today we ignore a $25B bailout for the auto industry and then blightly give away another $140B in pork barrel spending to give another $700B away?

I remember reading something about how Henry Paulson did not understand how business was conducted in Washington DC, where a three page memo was far too arrogant. Well, I am glad that we were able to fluff that puppy up for the Congress. Shame on you, Mr. Paulson. [sarcasm flag]

“…for those Joe Six-Packs playing a drinking game, MAVERICK!”

Incredibly funny - well worth the nine plus minutes to watch. SNL does it again (thanks Tiny Fey!).


I wonder - did the McCain campaign really think the game (Sarah Palin on the stage having to argue coherently) would not be scrutinized and evaluated by everyone in the MSM and in the blogosphere? And that they would get away with someone like this?
