Daily Kos: McCain Hasn't Read Paulson's Plan
ANCHOR: As for the massive Wall Street bailout McCain insists it have... JSM: Oversight that is effective and transparent. We need people like Warren Buffet and Mike Bloomberg and Mitt Romney to have an oversight of this. We can't put that responsibility in the hands of one person. ANCHOR: The crunch question. Would you vote for it as it's presently constructed? JSM: I have not had a chance to see it in writing so I have to examine that.

Are the debates still on, or is Obama going to be having a conversation with an empty podium tomorrow?
(Not that's necessarily an either/or.)
He should, if that happens, offer to foot the bill. Ole Miss and the city of Oxford spent a lot of money to get this together, and it really is bullshit, unbelievably selfish, that McCain has done this to them.

INVESTMENT BANKERS FLOOD INTO MEXICO & CANADA TORONTO, CANADA - Thousands of proud but recently fired investment bankers are flooding into Mexico and Canada in a desperate bid to find steady work and job security that are no longer available in the U.S.! A spokesman for the U.S. Border Patrol says an astonishing 500 to 1,000 citizens are crossing our Northern and Southern borders every day, some with the help of smugglers who charge up to $10,000 a pop to pack them in refrigerator boxes or roll them up in carpets and sneak them over in trucks. Mexican border patrol officers are now working around the clock to stop this new influx of American immigrants. "They used to try to stop us from heading over there, but now they want to come over here," says one member of the Mexican policia whose squad lines up to stop flow of briefcase-carrying freeloaders. "They make fun of us and don't want us over there," he says. "Well, we don't want them over here either!" "I grew up in America and I love my country, but Lord knows, I have to make a living," Peter Starmeyer, 38, says from the makeshift plywood and cardboard shanty he now calls home on Toronto's increasingly seedy west side. "When Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and I lost my job, I had no other choice. The only way for me to keep living the American dream was to move to Canada where businesses value and respect workers and try to help them hold on to their jobs."
