John McCain "suspends" campaign
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Saw this picture on the Washington Post homepage after hearing that John McCain was "suspending" his campaign (ahem, dodging the first Presidential Debate on Friday which was probably going to have a lot of questions that he couldn't answer well about the economy) to return to the Senate and "get to work" on this lovely bailout package.
Anyway, here's the picture - slightly modified to read his mind:
I'm sure this has nothing to do with McCain's nine point slide in the last few days, what with him changing his stance on the economy three times in the last week.
Quick Picks
- Marc Ambinder points out something my coworkers and I have noticed for weeks.
- I really, really love the sign up form at Huffduffer.com!
- From the Washington Post: A simplified chart of the McCain tax cuts vs. Obama tax cuts.
- Matt Damon on Sarah Palin: "You do the actuary tables, there's a one out of three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn't survive his first term, and it'll be President Palin. It's like a really bad Disney movie, "The Hockey Mom.' Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president. "She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd." Amen!
- Google's new browser, Chrome, passes the ACID2 test with flying colors. w00t.
- Karl Rove calls Joe Biden a "big blowhard doofus". Yeah, coming from the closest thing to a real-life Emperor Palpatine that really stings. LOL.
- McCain's running mate has a pregnant and unwed 17 year old daughter. Family values indeed!
- Command line to GUI to command line. And so we've coming full circle: Mozilla introduces Ubiquity, a mash up command line for the web.
- What's the best part about Fox News at the DNC? THIS is the best part! The crowd chanting "Fuck Fox News" at the end of it made my bad day turn around!
- China's Olympic gymnasts may not be old enough to compete. "Shocking" that China is cheating again. It happened in the Sydney Olympics, too. CHEATERS!
