Of course, poor pretty much means black, so that’s an added bonus…oh, and you’ll notice it says nothing about giving vasectomies to men…

Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning called the bailout “Unamerican”.
Now, if you don’t believe the bailout will work, that’s one thing…but I can promise you that only the rich care if it’s “American” or not (whatever that means). People losing their homes or 401Ks don’t have that luxury.
Btw, Bunning is a Republican, of course. The [...]
Dean Heckler has been a horrible tease to me.
In an earlier post about OneLessDesk, he mentioned that there will be a new, non-desk, product in a few weeks.

Think Progress » Infuriated About Tough CNN Interview, McCain Cancels Larry King Appearance
Funny thing, though…this is more or less the kind of stuff they do on BBC’s World Service. They ask questions and expect answers.

At least some of them don’t.
If you go out and interview everyone in the US and 52% go for McCain and 48% go for Obama, it means NOTHING. We don’t vote that way. We vote through the electoral college. Without knowing how the votes are arranged, you can’t tell anything. Take a look at CNN’s [...]
