Locking the Barn Door After the Horse Is Gone

By Fact-esque

That's the specialty-of-the-house in the Bush Age.

A Wall Street consortium led by Goldman Sachs managing director E. Gerald Corrigan recommended new standards Wednesday for monitoring and managing risk, saying the financial industry must be better equipped to contain the type of widespread damage wrought by the credit crunch.

Actually, they don't need "new standards". They just need to replace the old standards the Republicans trashed so contemptuously over the last 30 years.

McCain Campaign to Offer Prizes to Online Commenters
Spread John McCain's official talking points around the Web -- and you could win valuable prizes!

That, in essence, is the McCain campaign's pitch to supporters to join its new online effort, one that combines the features of "AstroTurf" campaigning with the sort of customer-loyalty programs offered by airlines, hotel chains, restaurants and the occasional daily newspaper.

On McCain's Web site, visitors are invited to "Spread the Word" about the presumptive Republican nominee by sending campaign-supplied comments to blogs and Web sites under the visitor's screen name. The site offers sample comments ("John McCain has a comprehensive economic plan . . .") and a list of dozens of suggested destinations, conveniently broken down into "conservative," "liberal," "moderate" and "other" categories. Just cut and paste........

What, frequent liar miles?

George W. & George H.W. Bush - Living proof that the dumbshit doesn't fall far from the dumbass.

Well, you know, sometimes

Well, you know, sometimes you gotta kinda catapult the propaganda...

God that's quite scary. But it really does reveal the fact that McCain supporters are total "sheeple".

It will be interesting to see...

Just how many of the witty, erudite comments posted by our tardy-trolls end up being directly copied/pasted from Crash's website. To use a technical term, I would say "a whole shitload."

New standards - finally!

That takes care of the last of the liberal roadblocks stopping social security privatization. It's going to be like Lincoln is President again.

Ohio suing Diebold for missing votes

The State of Ohio is suing Premier Election Systems (formerly known as Diebold) for missing votes. Diebold claimed the issue was caused by a conflict with an antivirus package and was a known issue; Ohio states the machines never should have shipped with such a known conflict still in place.

Another nail in the coffin of no-paper-trail e-voting.
