Nick von Stein for Congress

Because my congressional representative voted for the bailout, not once but twice, I cannot support him this fall.  I live in House Minority Leader John Boehner's district, which is the 8th district of Ohio.  Because I cannot support him, I must vote for the alternative.  This year a young man named Nick von Stein is running on the Democratic ticket for the 8th district of Ohio.  I thereby throw my support behind this man, if only to spite John Boehner, who is not a true republican.

The only problem is, Nick doesn't seem to be running a very large campaign, so it he will probably lose. :-/

Wall St. may reject bailout!

Wall Street investment firms and banks may end up refusing to partake in the government bailout, choosing to ride out the storm of the recession the nation finds itself in.  Apparently, they don't particularly like the idea about executive pay limitations. Really? I wonder why. Heh. Next we will see President Bush calling for Congress to pass an amendment to the bill striking out the pay limit provisions.

Hey Vegeta, whats the scouter say about their national debt???

ITS OVER $10 TRILLION!

What, $10 trillion?

Yep, our national debt has officially risen above the mark of 10 trillion dollars, no mean feat considering it took from the creation of our nation to right around 2000 to reach 5.6 trillion dollars.  Gee, I wonder what political event happened around 2000?  President Bush and Congress have nearly doubled our national debt over the length of Bush's presidency.
