  around" with terrorists. One man in the audience, responding to Palin's smear, shouted, "Kill him!" Palin also did not comment on the remark. At the same Florida event, Republicans shouted abuse at journalists, hurling obscenities. The Washington Post reported, "One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, 'Sit down, boy.'" And just to top things off, last night, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania announced its belief that Obama is "

  The Tone Being Created October 07, 2008 8:02 AM "Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness," writes the Washington Post's Dana Milbank. "In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her 'less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media.' At that, Palin supporters

  living paycheck to paycheck. Now they are finding times when they do not have enough food to eat. However, there is not necessarily enough food at the local food bank. Unsurprisingly, when times get tough they turn to government aid. One measure is the increase in the number of households using food stamps. Their hope in Obama is a wan hope. It is a hope borne in part in desperation because there is no one else to turn to. All they know is that many of them voted in lockstep with our president and the Republicans in Congress only to find out that they

He lived in Vermont only in the middle years of a long and hard life, but much of his best-known work is grounded in that time, and he has said that he transformed himself and found his voice there.

  Remember way back to last week when it was going to be the end of the world if Congress didn't pass the bailout package? Remember the Washington Post's account in which Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson told President Bush, "there is no Plan B." Well, it looks like the Fed has discovered a Plan B. It turns out that the Fed can buy commercial paper directly from non-financial corporations needing credit to

  Your one stop pundit shop. Richard Cohen regains his journalistic mojo and kicks Sarah Palin and the traditional media's ass. And now, words I never thought I would type...Cohen's column is a must read. Eugene Robinson asks the question that I'm afraid we already know the answer to: But John McCain wants us to talk about Barack Obama's acquaintances.
