My Hair’s On Fire!

The World As We Know It Has Come To An End!

Everybody Panic!

House Republicans killed the “Bailout Bill” that Bush, House and Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans and both presidential candidates approved because the alternative was an economic meltdown as serious as the Great Depression and House GOP leader John Boehner says they did it because Nancy Pelosi talked bad about them.

Huh?

Sorry. I must have misunderstood.

The dog ate my homework.

I was distracted by the delight I felt at how much Gov. Palin has helped the GOP ticket. And, how she’s going to surprise all those librul pundits by how well she’s going to do Thursday against Joe Biden in the debate. At least we’ll be surprised once we get past the CBS interview in which Roe v. Wade is the only Supreme Court decision in our entire 200 year history she can name. By all accounts concerning the as-yet unreleased video, she waxes poetic about Roe and abortion so Couric asks what other decisions she favors or opposes, and … there’s a long and uncomfortable silence instead of an answer to the question. Should make for some “must see” TV.

Did anybody notice that McCain claimed credit for the bailout this morning in Columbus, Ohio, and this afternoon blamed Obama for it’s demise? In what the NY Times calls “the same breath”, McCain blamed “Obama and his allies” for injecting partisanship into the matter AND that it’s “not time to fix the blame.”

Just another WTF? moment for me, I guess. I must not have been paying attention because I was waiting for another campaign “suspension” from Letterman appearances by McCain. Or a call by McCain for a White House sit-down that everyone else called less than helpful. Or, maybe I just didn’t understand that Sen. Obama was in charge of the votes of 140 of the 193 House Republicans who voted against the bill after John Boehner promised at least 75 “aye” votes from his minority caucus.

Don’t worry about it, conservatives. Sen. McCain apparently likes to roll the dice and sometimes you’ll get craps and sometimes you’ll get seven and … well, he’ll double down and roll again, OK?

Good thing OU’s No. 1 in the football polls or I couldn’t be this happy.
