Please, dig in:
• President Bush announced this morning that nine major American banks are getting a $125 billion cash infusion (an additional $125b to smaller institutions) from us the U.S. government, and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke does his best Stuart Smalley.
• Sarah Silverman's Great Schelp is not working, as nobody really cares for Florida or for old people.
• The RNC is considering diverting $5 million to Senate incumbents who run the risk of losing re-election bids in November—and thereby the headcount to effectively filibuster against the Democratic majority. Lucky for McCain, they have plenty.
• Now you can own the childhood home where Cindy McCain might well have lost her virginity to John.
• With McCain having surrendered Michigan, "Natural Law Party" candidate Ralph Nader sees an opening!
