The John McCain campaign keeps running into trouble finding a theme song, since writing good music requires a soul. McCain has been repeatedly caught using music without the support of the songwriters, most recently when his campaign decided to use a song by the group Heart during the Republican convention in St. Paul.
Tonight HA sources tell us that the McCain campaign has decided to solve this problem by using music already in the public domain.

Mr. Cynical spews:
From today’s Rasmussen:
Monday, September 15, 2008
Polling in Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia shows marginal gains for McCain in three states and for Obama in two. McCain has a slight advantage in three of the five states and the other two are tied. However, in only one state does the gap between McCain and Obama exceed three percentage points in polls with a four-and-a-half percentage point margin of sampling error.
The overriding message from these results is that the race remains very close with just over seven weeks to go.
The biggest change is found in Colorado where it’s now McCain 48% and Obama 46%. A week ago, Obama had a three-point edge in this western state. The current results are similar to the Rasmussen Reports Colorado polling conducted in August, just before the Democratic convention was held in Denver.
McCain now holds a 49% to 44% advantage in Florida. Last week the candidates were tied at 48% in the Sunshine State.
In Ohio, McCain continues to have the advantage, 48% to 45%. That’s closer than the results from last week which showed McCain with a 51% to 44% advantage.
Virginia and Pennsylvania are both tied. Last week McCain was up by two in Virginia and Obama was up two in Pennsylvania

“When I asked Martinez the rationale for changing grade six to kindergarten, she said that groups like Planned Parenthood and the Cook County Department of Health — both major contributors to the bill — “were finding that there were children younger than the sixth grade that were being inappropriately touched or molested.” When I asked about the elimination of references to marriage and the contraception passages, Martinez said that the changes were “based on some of the information we got from Planned Parenthood.”
After we discussed other aspects of the bill, I told Martinez that reading the bill, I just didn’t see it as being exclusively, or even mostly, about inappropriate touching. “I didn’t see it that way, either,” Martinez said. “It’s just more information about a whole variety of things that have to go into a sex education class, the things that are outdated that you want to amend with things that are much more current.”
So, I asked, you didn’t see it specifically as being about inappropriate touching?
“Absolutely not.””
Of course when an Obama spokesperson is speaking lying hot air is the result.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) did mount a 2-year lobbying campaign that ended on January 26, 2001, against using “Muslim villains”, as the original book version did. Director Phil Alden Robinson is quoted in a letter to CAIR saying “I hope you will be reassured that I have no intention of promoting negative images of Muslims or Arabs, and I wish you the best in your continuing efforts to combat discrimination.”
So did Matt Damon complain. I can’t find anything on the Internet regarding Matt Complaints over Tom Clancy’s book being eviscerated. Google “Matt Damon complains about Sum of all fears script” – nothing appears. I even substituted Tom Clancy in it and came up empty but I did stumble across this:

Then Matt Damon discusses a bad Disney Movie Well a really good Disney Movie that was hacked to a bad Disney Movie due to Donkey pressure was the Path to 9/11.
As Puddy remembers Donkey Congressional complaints – Google “Path to 9/11 Albright complains”
“We write with serious concerns about the planned upcoming broadcast of The Path to 9/11 mini-series on September 10 and 11. Countless reports from experts on 9/11 who have viewed the program indicate numerous and serious inaccuracies that will undoubtedly serve to misinform the American people about the tragic events surrounding the terrible attacks of that day. Furthermore, the manner in which this program has been developed, funded, and advertised suggests a partisan bent unbecoming of a major company like Disney and a major and well respected news organization like ABC. We therefore urge you to cancel this broadcast to cease Disney’s plans to use it as a teaching tool in schools across America through Scholastic. Presenting such deeply flawed and factually inaccurate misinformation to the American public and to children would be a gross miscarriage of your corporate and civic responsibility to the law, to your shareholders, and to the nation.
The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving the public interest. Nowhere is this public interest obligation more apparent than in the duty of broadcasters to serve the civic needs of a democracy by promoting an open and accurate discussion of political ideas and events. …
Should Disney allow this programming to proceed as planned, the factual record, millions of viewers, countless schoolchildren, and the reputation of Disney as a corporation worthy of the trust of the American people and the United States Congress will be deeply damaged. We urge you, after full consideration of the facts, to uphold your responsibilities as a respected member of American society and as a beneficiary of the free use of the public airwaves to cancel this factually inaccurate and deeply misguided program. We look forward to hearing back from you soon.”
Yes Matt Damon, Donkey complained and a good Disney Movie was hacked into a bad one. Thanks for reminding me.

As Professor Rosen said in an interview, “Our findings suggest that people make sensible housing decisions in that the size of house they buy today relates to their future income, not just their current income and that the innovations in mortgages over 30 years gave many people the opportunity to own a home that they would not have otherwise had, just because they didn’t have enough assets in the bank at the moment they needed the house.””

Yesterday the DJIA tanked over 500 points. Venerable investment banks Lehman Bros. and Merrill Lynch collapsed, Lehman Bros. filing Chapter 11 and Merrill Lynch being sold for a song to Bank of America.
Yesterday the Bush Administration said “no more bailouts”. Overnight they flip-flopped, and agreed to guarantee loans to AIG Group, the insurance behometh which was in danger of failing as it’s credit gets downgraded today. In the process rules enacted during the Great Depression to prevent cascading bank failures caused by lending between institutions have been suspended on AIG’s behalf. Therefore if this doesn’t work, then even more banks and lending institutions will be in deep trouble.
I mentioned before in a previous post that a colleague of mine, arriving in Japan on a business trip, just had his credit card rejected as the hotel wasn’t accepting credit cards from U.S. Banks. It appears that this was a temporary situation, caused by confusion due to Lehman Bros. Chapter 11 filing. The hotel was instructed not to accept any credit cards issued by Lehman Bros., but the manager thought that caution being a virtue, interpreted this to mean all U.S. banks.

Puddy;
I’m the one who’s dense???? Whether Lehman Bro’s gave more money to Democrats than Republican candidates has no bearing upon that fact that the Bush administration had plenty of opportunities to avoid this crisis and didn’t do anything constructive.
Karl Rove has spent more time over the past three days generating the talking points you are regurgitating, trying to deflect blame for the current collapse of the finanical markets due to the lending crisis, than the Bush administration spent during it’s entire seven years and eight months in office in oversight of the financial markets.
The problem started with (1) the FHA (allowing standard lending safegaurds to be ignored) and (2) continued through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and (3) moved on to the financial markets, where the sub-prime mortgages were packaged with other real-estate loans into unregulated securities and (4) sold on U.S. and international markets in such a way as the real nature of the risk was hidden.
Throughout this process, the Bush administration took the position that government oversight and regulation of these securities, or tamping down on the over-heated sub-prime market, would be “unwarrented intervention”.
These were opportunities 1-4 missed by the Bush administration to avoid this crisis through reasonable oversight and regulation.
Then when the market started collapsing last year, the Bush administration responded weakly, taking the position that any forefeitures were primarily the borrower’s fault. (Missed Opportunity # 5). When political pressure began to accumulate, Bush proposed a toll-free number where people could call to get information on the Bush administration’s call to have lenders voluntarily reduce roll-over interest rates on ARMs temporarily, although this only applied to people already in foreclosure, not those who were not actually in foreclosure. The plan was a joke enough in and of itself, made more so when Bush mistakenly gave out the wrong telephone number in his speech – resulting in lots of calls to a religious organization with that number (leading a few jokesters to say that the Bush plan amounted to telling borrowers to resort to prayer). (Missed opportunity # 6).
So over the past year, we’ve had lots of foreclosures for a variety of reasons. Some were investment risks, some were due to unwise borrowing, but for some it’s simply that their property values dropped so much they were “underwater”, and couldn’t re-finance or sell their houses when they needed to. The ironic thing was that people were losing their houses because nobody could buy, but there were buyers willing to buy but couldn’t get financing due to the credit restrictions (talk about closing the door after the cows got out!). Lots of empty houses now, and willing buyers who can’t get loans. (Missed opportunity # 7).
The market has been desperatly trying to find the “floor”, which would provide some certainty. Lots of people warned that unless some government action was taken, the markets would experience cascading failures, bringing down the good companies as well as the bad. Yet the Bush administration did nothing other than try to deflect blame and left it to the Fed to try to handle the crisis through interest rate adjustments (Missed Opportunity # 8).
Finally, as the house of cards begins to collapse completely, the Bush administration responds by throwing taxpayer money at the problem, guaranteeing buyouts of troubled companies (Bear Sterns). Problem is, you do this once, and everybody expects you to do it. So Bush & Co. refuse to bail out Lehman Bros. & Merrill Lynch, causing them to fail (Merrill Lynch was bought for a song by Bank of America). Then a day after pledging ‘No more bailouts”, the Bush administration bails out AIG Group by pledging taxpayer underwriting of loans to that firm. (The lack of a coherent strategy for dealing with the problem is missed opportunity # 9).
Time to throw the bums out, and put the adults back in charge. Perhaps it’s not a good idea to allow a political party which professes to have no faith in government to actually be in charge of government?????

Babs is a real piece of work. Spends tens of thousands of dollars suing her “littlepeople” neighbors and intimidating them if they dare do anything she disapproves of.
