Countdown to Electiony: 50 Days
On January 3rd, Alaska will celebrate its 50th anniversary as one of these United States of America.
Seventeen days later, it might very well be delivering its very first citizen into the White House.
I guess you can probably say the same thing about Hawaii, but I don't know… Somehow, Hawaii just seems a lot less sexy than it did two weeks ago.
Go back to Day 50.





p.s.: Personal note to Phil Gramm: Bear Stearns, Lehman Bros, Merrill Lynch, WaMu, AIG, et al. are just a bunch of whiners.
John McCain speaking on Lehman, et al.? What's he going to say? "The financial crisis is the Hurricane Katrina of Wall Street. Mounting debt has overtopped the financial levees, and Lower Manhattan is the 9th Ward. Evacuations are now taking place, but too late. Expect to find bodies in the upper boardrooms. Don't blame this administration, or my party's stance on deregulation nor its unwavering belief in the supremacy of market forces. This is all the fault of the media and Democrat Party do-nothing Congress."
I think The White House right now is under construction or getting a paint job. It's whiter than normal. Do they have E.D.? Premature transition is a common problem for the G.O.P I guess.
As John McCain tries speaking live at a rally right now on the bankruptcy of Lehman and the woes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it dawned on me who he reminds me of — the stuttering Public Defender from My Cousin Vinny, but worse.
I really hope Obama plays the hurricane card. Bush and FEMA learned lessons from Katrina. They applied the same skill sets to Ike perfectly.

Man. Chevy actually took a small dig at The Daily Show and Colbert. If CC did that to him they'd need a really tiny shovel.
On Day 50, Morning Joe is celebrating by having the "legendary" Chevy Chase. Kinda like the now legendary Lehman Bros.
