Recap and catchup (Updated Friday morning)

So much today, I'm afraid things are getting lost, so relinking Palin's disastrous CBS interview, and new linking this WaPo story on Palin accepting big gifts from people with matters before her as Governor.

McCain never read the Paulson plan until likely yesterday, and the decision to suspend his campaign came in the middle of a debate prep session. (Guessing the debate prep wasn't going well.)

There was shooting between the Pakistanis and US forces..... and carbon emissions shattered even the most dire predictions last year.

Oh, and that little matter of the largest bank failure in history.

More from Friday morning. (AP) A US soldier died in a roadside bombing in Iraq. 22 soldiers have died in Iraq this month.

The Guardian has a report that Israel sought a green light to attack Iran at the May meeting between Bush and Olmert and Bush refused.

And, (NYTimes) Putin offers Venezuela another $1 billion in weapons, and (Reuters) talks about offering Venezuela civilian nuclear help.

  • So...what's your point? Sometimes sh*t happens.

    Actually, the Rebublicans are now 4 for 4.

    1) They've sent all the jobs overseas. 2) They have "War Eternal." 3) They've destroyed the financial system with 25 years of deregulation and 4) They've managed to see that the Yankees finished out of the play-offs.

    As long as the Yankees go down - I'll take the other 3 no big deal!

  • Old things have to dissolve before new things can be made, I guess. I'm crossing my fingers, staying awake, and hanging on.

  • That's the "creative destruction" theory, but the unstated assumption is that definitionally something better will come in its place.

    That's not a valid assumption.
