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.
It looks like CNN is reporting that McCain is heading down to Mississippi now.
Since I'm going to out enjoying a nice dinner during the debate, I've got my DVR recording it from BBC America. It should be pretty interesting to hear what the British pundits and Ted Koppel have to say about the whole thing!
Sarah PALIN is calling Henry fucking KISSINGER....naive???

I just don't understand why having talks with another country is a concession. If you are denying that a government is legitimate, then I see the point. Aside from that, I don't see it as a concession. Hasn't the making demands in order to talk strategy already not worked for Bush?

Furthermore, one non-rank-and-file Republican, Senator John McCain, is apparently playing spoiler. Earlier this week, while refusing to say whether he supported the Paulson plan, he claimed not to have had a chance to read it; the plan is all of three pages long. Then he inserted himself into the delicate negotiations over the Congressional plan, insisting on a White House meeting at which he reportedly said little — but during which consensus collapsed.
