  Panic in the markets. Resurgent Russia. Environmental and Energy crisis. Two wars to fight. And a public fed up with being left out in the cold.

  I agree that the only thing I can think of that would lean people back to the right is a massive, very scray attack…

  Shocking news. Spend 1 min on any platform in Tokyo on any morning and you can see the tired faces of workers here. Then take a late train back on a Tuesday or early weekday and see just how many people are coming home from the office at 11, 12…

  One word for the McCain camp. DESPERATION

  Palin floated McCain's dull grey campaign for a short time. Now she's like a lead weight as people see that the pitbull hockey mom is really some back woods redneck with very little clue about the role of VP let alone answers for…

  One other note. No nation on the planet can afford racism. Globalization for all the harm and good it has done has made us completely interdependent upon each other. The environment, security and every day necessities. This will not go away. If anything it will become more so.

  We've been sold this notion that business knows best for a long time. That we can't restrain business because it will cause economic slowdown. And we are told to trust in the market economy. So let't look at facts.

  I'm reminded of Python's "Spot the Looney". With all the bad news out there, this guy may have lifted a lot of spirits this week. I say we give him an award for best tension breaker of 2008.
