McCain has just got that most successful woman, Carly Fiorina, to endorse him. Just because she is a woman does not mean this is the type of person you want to endorse you, John. Fiorina tried, rather valiantly, to bankrupt HP until the board of directors finally had enough and ousted her. By embracing her endorsement McCain continues to show what a fiscal imbecile he is.
Some of McCain's other ideas of good fiscal policy:
-Continued tax breaks for the wealthiest 5% (gotta love the trickle down)
-Free and unregulated commodity trading -including oil (speculation trading ='s high prices? Nah!)
-Corporate bailouts and tax breaks for mortgage lenders and petroleum companies but no help for individuals
-Continued financing of a $12 billion dollar a month war and a defense budget of over $700 billion a year meanwhile rejecting education spending and welfare spending that, combined, would amount to less than 1/3 of the total defense expenditures
What happened to the "fiscal conservatives?" Even the "tax and spend" democrats aren't that shortsighted.
I am a fiscal conservative.
If I don't have it, I don’t spend it.
What I do have I conserve as much as possible and save it just in case I need it for an emergency.
I don’t go and buy swamp land in Arizona or beach front property in Kansas or a war in Iraq for that matter.

Number Poo
The big news all over Europe for the last week is the broken toilet on the International Space Station.
Thank you shuttle astronauts for saving the bladders of the ISS crew. Although, I don’t really get the European concern. I ride the trains over here. That hole dropping straight down to the tracks below is not what I call a functioning toilet.

Hillary Does Monty Python
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
Bring out your dead
DEMOCRATS:
Here's one.
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
Ninepence, please.
HILLARY:
I'm not dead!
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
What?
DEMOCRATS:
Nothing. here's your ninepence.
HILLARY:
I'm not dead!
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
'Ere. She says she’s not dead!
DEMOCRATS:
Yes, she is.
HILLARY:
I'm not!
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
She isn't?
DEMOCRATS:
Well, she will be soon. She’s very ill.
HILLARY:
I'm getting better!
DEMOCRATS:
No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
Oh, I can't take her like that. It's against regulations.
HILLARY:
I don't want to go on the cart!
DEMOCRATS:
Oh, don't be such a baby.
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
I can't take her.
HILLARY:
I feel fine!
DEMOCRATS:
Well, do us a favor.
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
I can't.
DEMOCRATS:
Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? She won't be long.
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
No, I've got to go to the Republicans'. They've lost nine today.
DEMOCRATS:
Well, when's your next round?
AMERICAN PUBLIC:
Thursday.
HILLARY:
I think I'll go for a walk.
DEMOCRATS: (to Hillary)
You're not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn't there something you can do?
HILLARY: [singing]
I feel happy. I feel happy.
Democrats pull out the rule book and divvy up the Florida and Michigan delegates. . .
