Gas stations running out of gas? Thanks Sonny!

The Bush administration is proposing a $700 billion bailout plan that would also increase the government's borrowing limit.  It might include a bailout of some foreign banks.  Fortunately, at least one conservative, Congressman Mike Pence, is publicly opposing the bailouts.

With the bailout plans, Mark Skousen wonders whether we're headed towards a collectivist state.  Even Time Magazine calls us the "United States of France."  Investors Business Daily says that Congress is trying its best to avoid the blame, even though they are the ones who caused this mess.

 

Now the media has come up with an excuse just in case Obama loses:  1/3 of Democrats are racist.  If you spin responses the right way, anybody can be a racist.

 

Charles Rangel is stepping in it again, this time by calling Sarah Palin "disabled."  That's a smart move, considering you're in so much trouble yourself.

The Executive Director of CAIR said something that really shows the group's colors:  "…we should not blame the United States alone for the 11 September 2001 attacks…"

 

The Southern Baptist Convention is getting bent out of shape over female pastors appearing on the cover of "Gospel Today" magazine.  They're not upset about them being on the cover; they're upset that women are pastors.

 

There's more discussion of the possibility of Obama dumping Biden in favor of Hillary.  I'm telling you folks, it won't happen, if for no other reason just because of early voting.  Up to a third of voters could cast their ballots before Election Day.

 

We're going to have a discussion of Macon's gang problem today, considering the recent shootings and the story from the Macon Telegraph telling us what many of us already knew, that people in Macon think the problem is worse than police think it is.
