I really want to re-fi into a 15 year fixed while the rates are dropping.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria several years ago. My mom, sister, and sister's friend were in NYC for the weekend after Xmas, and sis and her friend had half-off coupons from the hotel chain [Hyatt? Hilton? one of the two] that owns the W-A, so instead of paying $400/night, we only paid $200. Nice rooms, but like a fancy restaurant, nothing comes free, not even the coffee (Mom was pissed to find a $5 charge on the bill for the coffee she made in the room that morning). The location cannot be beat, though--it was a perfect base for wandering Manhattan.
ABC News' Political Radar blog quotes an unnamed "senior Obama campaign official" as saying that "the debate is on" and the Democratic nominee "intends to debate."
And Fox News interviewed Gloria Kellum, the vice chancellor for university relations at the University of Mississippi, which is hosting Friday's debate. Kellum told the network's Shepard Smith, "The Commission on Presidential Debates is moving forward, and so they're saying to the candidates, 'This was our agreement, this is what we're gonna do.'" The CPD is in charge of arranging the debates.

Wonder why thiy didn't just call it Ole Miss.
A friend emailed me that when one of her colleagues heard about McCain's call to stop everything and concentrate on the bailout he said - (paraphrasing) - if he's president is he going to be able to stop everything else to work on one thing at a time?
And um, it's not like there isn't any crazy shit going on right now related to foreign policy either - North Korea making noise again this morning, just for example.
Hell, I don't get to work on one thing at a time.
Senator, the financial collapse is not a snowday. You still have to do the debate so get cracking on your homework.

Really. It reminds me of being in speech class, when kids would desperately try to come up with some excuse for why they weren't ready on the day they were scheduled to give a speech.
It's as if instead of preparing for the debate, McCain was in his dorm doing bong hits....
I just put a chicken in the oven to roast. Mixed up some Thai chilli paste, lime juice, garlic and ginger then basted the buttered chicken carcass.
It smells really good.
