Morning Roundup: Around the Web with Cardboard Man!
Bloomberg helps me guess what's going to happen on the market (three weeks ago we said the bottom was around 8500!): Today it seems, the bloodletting will continue. World markets are down, along with US Index futures.
Talking Points Memo gets on the McCain is a squirrel bandwagon. More ACORN love...
The New York Times says Paulson made those banks an offer they couldn't refuse.
Firedoglake's Attaturk takes a look at Rush Limbaugh's mild racism.
The Guardian seems to think Steve Jobs should not have messed with things yesterday. Seems his fire sale on Macbooks has caused world markets to clamor for more free money and to start talking smack about a recesession.
Polls! MyDD's Todd Beeton has the numbers and McCain probably wishes they were better, because now he's going to be forced into wearing his Weather Undergroung T-Shirt to tonight's debate. Chris Bowers has more numbers over at Open Left.
As global markets slide into negative territory, the Washington Times marches into the light reporting that all's clear on the Western front. (Not.)
Alternet's Liliana Segura gets bullet-pointy with McCain's racism.
The Christian Science Monitor has a think-piece on the end of free-market ideology in the United States.
Crooks and Liars's Logan Murphy asks: If you don't want polar bears listed as endangered and you wear a polar bear brooch, are you trying to remind people that you couldn't care less about polar bears?

Ever wonder why teens post nude pictures of themselves online? The pervs at ABC News did...

Doesnt matter if it's where the blood is flowing from, you cant lick your own elbow. You have to lick your finger, and wipe the blood and then lick it off you finger.
It's not important to most, only a fact.
Uh, the only other thing I got today, the day of this last debate is "Guns and Roses"-"Civil War"

By deanrddOctober 15, 2008 - 9:23amCould it be? Could it? The fundamentals? Unsound?
The Reuters/Zogby Index, which measures the mood of the country, nosedived to 89.7 in October from 96.3 percent in September as seven of the 10 measures of public opinion used in the index dropped.
The rating stopped short of the record low of 87.7 in March but showed Americans are feeling dramatically more gloomy about the direction of the country and their personal finances.
Ratings for President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress dropped sharply. A record low of 21 percent in a Zogby poll gave positive marks to Bush's job performance, while the approval rating for Congress dipped to 10 percent -- just above its all-time low.
It is always about the money.

I sincerely hope McCain brings up Ayers. Seems that the William Annaberg Foundation appointed both Obama and Ayers to be on seperate boards at their foundation. That is how they met. I guess it would have been appropriate for someone to have said, "Mr. Obama, meet Mr. Ayers, the mad bomber". But I suspect no one did. Both, however, were given money to distribute at the descretion of the board. So you could say that the Annaberg foundation funded a terrorist.
Anyway, William Annaberg was a staunch Republican. Since he died, his wife, Lenore has taken over all the duties. She has given the McCain campaign thousands of dollars and not a cent to Obama.
Yes folks, John Sidney McCain accepts money from an organization that funds terrorists. We should demand that he give that money back. All of it.
FROM MCCAIN/PALIN'S OWN WEBSIT(What's funny is that Murtagh says in the article that he was 9 years old at the time. That makes him one year older than Obama.):
Statement From John M.Murtagh On Barack Obama's Relationship With William Ayers
"Barack Obama may have been a child when William Ayers was plotting attacks against U.S. targets -- but I was one of those targets. Barack Obama's friend tried to kill my family."
