Nations could burn. But we still won’t be in a recession.
Veepstakes
•
McCain needs someone to his left. Obama needs someone to his right. Who will each man pick as his running mate?

•
Even as the war in Afghanistan becomes more deadly, Obama pledges to send more troops.
President Obama’s First Day
•
Obama’s liberal supporters are wallowing in wishful thinking. Once he gets into office, they tell themselves and everyone else, he’ll burst out as a crazy leftie!
Old McCain, Same as the New McCain
•

•
Disaster looms…but don’t worry. Something will come up. It always has (except when it hasn’t).
