Kent Conrad’s Bad Decision An ongoing federal investigation is raising some concerns over Countrywide mortgage practices. While I am very concerned about Countrywide’s involvement in this potential scandal, I believe Sen. Conrad when he says he wasn’t aware of the special treatment. I think it is very reasonable to assume that he thought he was getting the rate that he deserved.... 

Any Excuse to throw up Some AC/DC That act and the music that goes with it — more than a dozen studio albums of strict blues-riff grammar, lewd vocal snarl and bull-elephant charge — have made AC/DC one of the biggest bands in the world. Their 1980 album, Back in Black, has sold 22 million copies in the U.S. alone. Over the past two years, AC/DC are second only to the Beatles in U.S. catalog sales,... 

No matter how deeply they delve into people’s thought processes, however, polls will never be perfect predictors of election results. Like the brain of an undecided voter, the electorate as a whole may lean toward one candidate or another, but until the ballots are cast on Nov. 4, it remains undecided.  Read More →

We are currently in what is my least favorite time of every olympiad: the presidential and other other major election times. Time for attack ads, mostly untrue, unkeepable promises, and out and out lies. Little actual information. Recently we in the Red River Valley had a supposed treat: a visit from Sarah Pahlin’s husband, who, of course wasn’t really doing any campaigning, but...

No one can complain of a shortage of information about the Great Financial Meltdown. The biggest growth industry today is words: A whole new vocabulary has spread from board tables to kitchen tables. Superannuated whiz kids planting cabbages to offset their newly straitened means can blame their troubles on collateralized debt obligations, special investment vehicles, credit default swaps. Subprime...

Democrats also are lining up behind House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plan to bring lawmakers back to Capitol Hill after the Nov. 4 election to work on a second economic relief plan. The idea is “give the middle-class and the average citizen the same kind of relief that we try to give the financial sector,” said Democratic Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, chairman of the House Financial...

Who won the Palin-Biden debate? Barack Obama, I suspect. Who was the big loser? In an historic fortnight that had already underscored his erratic nature, John McCain. The fact that Palin was able to string her sentences together last night – which she couldn’t manage to do in her unscripted interviews with Katie Couric — shows only how low McCain has strapped his presidential... 

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand had been caught in a gate while working with cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President. The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.’ Not being familiar with the term, the doctor... 

Fargo ND, “Biden needs to be ready for two Sarah Palins: the smiling one and the attacking one. Actually, she is pretty good at doing both at the same time. Joe should not go after her at all, but only after McCain. And while he is doing it, Joe cannot adopt a posture of being aggressive toward her or, worse, condescending. He attacks McCain only on the economy — the GOP ticket’s...
