The Sarah Palin debate flow chart

now that i've had a bit of net-surfing time, i seem to have gotten a grip on how last night's debate went, due, in no small part, to the following diagram... honest to god, i wouldn't doubt for a moment that, even tho' it seems like a spoof, it's probably exactly the way it worked and may have even been the VERY TOOL used to prep our friend, frankenbarbie, for her big night...

"I'm Not A Rich Man"

From the HuffPo

McCain says, "I'm not a rich man"
Jed Lewison

John McCain was joking around on Morning Joe earlier today about gambling on the baseball playoffs and let loose a verifiably false claim, saying "I'm not a rich man."

Well, so much for the "100% Truthful" Straight Talk Express

Wonderful news! [UPDATE - Dow closes down 777.68]

look, i don't wish anyone ill in a financial collapse... i've got a small nestegg - very small - tucked away in a 401K and my oldest son and his wife are watching theirs vanish before their eyes... but, let's get real... the bailout bill wasn't designed to do anything but preserve the status quo with a little window dressing thrown in to appease the masses and let our so-called progressive, liberal democrat congressfolks claim that they have the common good of the country at heart... horsehockey, as mash's colonel potter used to say...

meanwhile, take a look at the dow jones as of 3:37 p.m. edt...
