Send the prez-elect to Poland Climate Talks
Posted by Jeff from Grist
In December 2009, the leaders of the world are scheduled to come together in Copenhagen to negotiate a successor to the Kyoto agreement. If there's any chance of that meeting providing a real breakthrough, though, there's much groundwork that needs to be done beforehand. In December 2008, after the American election but before Inauguration Day, the world is meeting in Poland to prepare for the Copenhagen climate talks. The winner of November's presidential election could rivet the world's attention on these negotiations if he flew to Poland in December and declared that the United States is back in the game.

Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
Americans' retirement plans have lost as much as $2 trillion in the past 15 months, Congress' top budget analyst estimated Tuesday. The upheaval that has engulfed the financial industry and sent the stock market plummeting is devastating workers' savings, forcing people to hold off on major purchases and consider delaying their retirement, said Peter Orszag, the head of the Congressional Budget Office.

Olbermann: Palin the one 'pallin' around' with terrorists
Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
Olbermann -- who has often been accused of displaying a pro-Obama bias and of making sometimes inappropriate comments -- attacked Palin in response by pointing out that she has her own questionable ties to the Alaska Independence Party, of which her husband was formerly a member and to which she has spoken. The founder of the AIP has been quoted as saying, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government, and I won't be buried under their damn flag" and "I've got no use for America or her damned institutions."

Bush Job Approval at 25%, His Lowest Yet
Posted by Jeff from Gallup
Bush's previous low point was 27%, measured about a week ago. The 25% approval rating is one point higher than Richard Nixon's lowest job approval rating of 24% measured in the summer of 1974, and it is just three points higher than Harry Truman's all-time Gallup low job approval rating of 22% measured in 1952. No other presidents have had job approval ratings of 27% or lower in Gallup Poll history.

Scoop: Move over, Tina! Palin may appear on ‘SNL’
Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
If you're among those who speculate that the only thing better than Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live" would be Sarah Palin making a cameo on the show, there might be hope yet. If the buzz is to be believed, the NBC show is working to get the vice-presidential candidate and Alaska governor on air before the election.

Posted by Jeff from Cnbc
The Federal Reserve will provide as much as $900 billion in cash loans to squeezed banks in an urgent effort to break through a dangerous credit clog that threatens the economy and has unhinged financial markets around the globe.

The MILFy Way
Posted by Shemuses from
How the GOP is using this low-grade obscenity to sell Sarah Palin. Homespun. Folksy. Straight-talking. These may be just a few of the endearing terms pundits have used to describe Sarah Palin. But there's another, more salient, tag floating around the Alaska governor, a secret weapon that was on winkin' and twinklin' display during the debate. Few Beltway commentators would dare call this stealth device by name, but the ever-crafty McCain/Palin camp seems to be counting on it to help pull its overmatched ticket across the finish line come November: "MILF" appeal, as in "Mother I'd Like to F...."

Posted by Jeff from Feeds.feedburner
John McCain was training in his AD-6 Skyraider on an overcast Texas morning in 1960 when he slammed into Corpus Christi Bay and sheared the skin off his plane's wings. McCain recounted the accident decades later in his autobiography. "The engine quit while I was practicing landings," he wrote. But an investigation board at the Naval Aviation Safety Center found no evidence of engine failure...
