If I Were a Betting Man

If I were a betting man, I would be tempted to post these odds.

Odds that that Dennis Rehberg will vote for a bailout bill that is essentially identical to the one he opposed today, claiming it is much improved for Montanas—1:8

Odds that Sarah Palin will actually debate Joe Biden this week–Even

Odds that, if she does, at one point in the debate she will claim that dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark, 6:1 against

Odds that Roy Brown will suspend his campaign in solidarity with John McCain–6:1 against

Odds that the Green Bay Packers will bring John McCain in for an attempted Hail Mary before the end of the season–3:1 against

Odds that Tim Fox will ever campaign on that actual duties of the Attorney General—15:1 against

Odds that a Montana right wing blog will bring up Governor Schweitzer’s speech in Philadelphia before tomorrow again before tomorrow at noon, 1:1000

Could Sarah Palin Pass High School Government?

For the love of God:

After noting Roe vs. Wade, Palin was apparently unable to discuss any major court cases.

There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence.

I hope the liberal media will release this right away.

Color Me Confused

How do right wing blogs and talking heads get to blame the Democrats for not passing the bailout bill today when Republicans voted overwhelmingly against it?  I’m not a logician, but it seems unfair for people opposed to the bailout to blame Democrats for the negative impacts of it not passing.

If they push this narrative, it’s time for Democrats in the House and Senate to write a truly progressive bill to restore confidence in the economy.

Compromise be damned.

Man… I’m dizzy…

This spin is extraordinary…

Sarah Palin’s horrible performance in interviews?  She is OVERPREPPED!

But… I am confused…

John McCain says that he MIGHT support the bailout plan.  He says that he needs to read the details of the plan, first.

This confuses me.

Didn’t he RUSH back to DC to be in the mix?

Perhaps he was distracted

UPDATE:  WAIT!  Apparently McCain was pulling all the strings by phone, says his campaign.  How does he not know what the plan says?  I am glad he focused ALL of his energy on this instead of that silly campaign…

21 Drinking Age Advocates Need Better Arguments

September 28, 2008

The debate about considering a change in the drinking age continues in today’s Billings Gazette, with health advocates and most of the president of Montana universities arguing against the change. I’m not sure where I stand on the issue, but lean towards the idea that the current restrictions don’t work, and could very well increase [...]

Will Sarah Debate? Less than 50% Chance

September 28, 2008

My take? Less than a 50% chance that she will debate Senator Biden this week. She will either drop out for personal reasons or there will need to be another suspension of the campaign for another “crisis.” She’s simply incapable of talking about the national and international issues that will be addressed. Someone remarked earlier [...]
