A very good speech by Palin. She met and exceeded the bar, IMO. She needed to energize the GOP base, and I'm sure she didn't hurt that cause one bit. The only things I found objectionable were her tone (as in voice, but that's just me) and that she was too negative at times. But hey...

I said all along that Huckabee was the best choice for McCain b/c he would motivate the religious right more than any other prospective Veep. There is a fundamental mistrust of McCain among that ESSENTIAL (if he's going to win) constituency of the Republicans. It would be a Rove pick...

I actually read every word of your post, Pabst. I chose not to respond to it because I feel the lowest-common-denominator name calling and flaming that is prevalent on ET is getting old, and I'm not responding to those types of posts anymore even if I share the underlying message that gets...

I actually thought he was being sarcastic?

Thank you. Bill O'Reilly, Keith Olbermann, Lou Dobbs, etc. are not news. They are editorial programs. I will dare say this: Fox News intertwines more editorial opinion in what is supposed to be their 'fair and balanced' news coverage than any other media outlet I have ever witnessed, and...

"After a segment with NBC's Chuck Todd ended today, Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan were caught on a live mike ridiculing the choice of Sarah Palin. "It's over," said Noonan, who then responded to a question of whether Palin is the most...

"solipcism" I never, ever had read or heard that word before. And I thank you for that. Truly. I just looked it up and it is a very, very good word to drop at cocktail parties. Just so you know, it's spelled 'solipsism,' but there is no way in hell I'll remember how to spell it after...

Everything's relative, I guess. The only thing I ever wanted from the media was to blow the whistle affirmatively on a President that led the United States into a war unnecessarily or on false pretenses. I had always thought of that as the ultimate transgression of a commandeer-in-chief.

There's a rumor that a Myanmar (formerly Burma) bank is going to buy out Lehman at a massive premium.

Interesting. Thanks. It would appear there's a conflict in the media about whether Palin was satisfactorily vetted or not. We won't know the answer unless McCain removes her from the ticket now, which is highly unlikely, though Intrade is taking bets on that now.

J, if you traveled around the world (maybe you have, and I'd be surprised you'd be positing this question) you'd find that the media in the U.S. is by far the most Conservative (conservative as in pro-GOP, not conservative as in small "c" conservative such as Jeffersonian) in any developed...

Santelli may be little, but he has bigger balls than anyone else on that sorry excuse of a 'financial news' network (owned by General Electric).

This is what justice requires. The POTUS is not above the law. Shining sunlight in dark places is the healthiest thing for democracy. Start with Cheney's man-sized safe.

Your post certainly effectively highlights the absurd role religion plays in modern U.S. elections. Thank you.

I realize that this is from the liberal-bastion that is the Wall Street Journal, but... http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2008/09/03/as-palin-gets-picked-over-some-eyes-turn-to-culvahouse/ As Palin Gets Picked Over, Some Eyes Turn to Culvahouse Posted by Ashby Jones September 3, 2008, 2:02 pm...

The United States could defeat China, Russia or any of the alleged 'new' powers in about 24 hours. There won't be anyone to challenge us militarily or technologically as a nation for many, many decades to come, if even then. Anyone who claims anything else is just another the 'sky is...

Just watch Fox, then, FT. You know, that channel that would say you're full of shit for suggesting that the SEC is a patsy, that naked shorting should be illegal, that manipulation of the 'free' American equity markets is commonplace or allowed, or that thinly traded companies are often...

Is his running mate Jack A. Mehoff?

Far be it for me to stoop to the lowest comment denominator debates, but aren't gulf states pumping money, in large amounts, into the U.K.? I know that SIVs and SWFs are helping to support the U.S. treasury market, which basically means they're subsidizing the interest on our massive debt...
