Wall Street Crisis Gives Preview of McCain Under Pressure
The meltdown on Wall Street last week wasn't the only one. We got a glimpse of McCain under fire, and it wasn't pretty. America needs a president who provides a steady hand under pressure.
Having it All
McCain knows that it takes more than adrenaline - or testosterone for that matter - to respond to threats of war. He obviously chose Palin primarily because she is a woman. It is cynical.
Remember Global Warming? That's Okay, Most People Apparently Don't, Either

It's Not Because Palin is a Woman, It's Because She's the Wrong Woman
It's also a sad commentary on John McCain that his campaign has become all about Sarah Palin and not the candidate himself.
Check and Balance This
Questioning Sarah Palin about her resume, or asking for government regulation in the economy are not examples of Elitism or Populism, and there's no need to redefine these perfectly good words.

Roxana Badin: Merit is Not a Dirty Word

Good article, however, as you know, English is fraught with multiple meanings. Sometimes, "Merit" is a dirty word, in terms of reality- based actual work. Is there an office somewhere, where the value of the work is actually rewarded comensurate with a person's worth? The Peter Principle, and beyond , seems to quantify merit more consisely. School teachers being paid on merit is an awfully scary proposal. I know many teachers in public schools, who work tirelessly with populations of ESL students, and yet, these dedicated teachers could lose their jobs to "No Child Left Behind" scores that are based on test taking skills and not pragmatic knowledge. No merit here. Perhaps merit should factor into CEO salaries, or Congressional pay raises, but that won't happen. However, merit really should factor into accountability of bail out money. I'm still waiting for that one. At this moment in our history, the DEmerit seems to be functioning just perfectly. Could DE merit be related to our past 8 years of DEmocracy?
Right on Roxana! I believe we're all exhausted from the show. I'm looking forward to the change of just getting Bush off the throne.
with my faith in humanit and Democracy rightfully restored, I feel I can now move on with my life. My kitchen has missed me :)
Spot On !!!! Thanks for an insightful summary.....
