March 2008

Gov. Ed Rendell tells FOX news they are the most "fair and balanced":

Yeah right! The other stations never say anything bad about Obama. Rev. Who? Oh yeah - MSNBC devoted tons of time last week to the Wright controversy.

Hillary can't even pay the bills:

Hillary Rodham Clinton's cash-strapped presidential campaign has been putting off paying hundreds of bills for months - freeing up cash for critical media buys but also earning the campaign a reputation as something of a deadbeat in some small-business circles.

A pair of Ohio companies owed more than $25,000 by Clinton for staging events for her campaign are warning others in the tight-knit event production community - and anyone else who will listen - to get their cash upfront when doing business with her. Her campaign, say representatives of the two companies, has stopped returning phone calls and e-mails seeking payment of outstanding invoices. One even got no response from a certified letter.

Maybe that's why her big supporters are threatening to withhold money from Democratic organizations; they think they might have to bail her out. If anything though, it's just another reason she needs to leave the race.

Time for things to heat up even more in Iraq:

But a defiant al-Sadr called on his followers Saturday to ignore the order, saying that his Mahdi Army would turn in its weapons only to a government that can "get the occupier out of Iraq," referring to the Americans.

This fight is Shiite on Shiites. Things are going really bad in Iraq now, and we got the next Petraeus report coming up very soon. Things are going to get interesting in the spin rooms.

Phil Gramm is McCain's chief economic adviser and was one of the chief architects of the deregulation of the banking industry that helped get us into the mortgage crisis. Now George Bush is proposing sweeping new regulations of the banking industry to help prevent more problems. This appears to go strongly against Gramm's beliefs, as well as the neo-con belief of "smaller government" over all. It is going to be interesting to see how the neo-cons respond to this new proposal.
