Fed Chief Throws Cold Water on Bush's Rose Garden:

The day after Pres. Bush tried to place rose colored lenses on the nation's view of the economy, Ben Bernanke explained that things don't look all that good for the rest of the year, with inflation running steadily higher and loans growing tougher to acquire. (See The New York Times story.)

Maureen Dowd Whines Because It's Hard To Make Fun Of Barack:

Comics are complaining that it's just too hard to make fun of Barack Obama. They get tagged as racists, bigots, and downright anti progressive. (See Dowd's New York Times Op-Ed.) Sorry, Maureen, but making fun of politicians has never been about the humorists, it's always been about dragging the powerful down. If you want to make fun of Obama, you need to join the Fox News (sic) staff.

Washington Post-ABC News Pole Shows Obama Lead at 8 Points:

The poll indicates voters think Obama can do a better job of steering the economy than McCain, but the split is still even on the international scene.

Why anyone would think McCain would be better at dealing with international relations than just about any Democrat is puzzling. But then I'm not too bright. I still don't understand why anyone watches Fox News (sic).

The Dude likes Russians: "One thing is clear, is relations between America and Russia are good, and they're important that they be good." — George W. Bush, Strelina, Russia, July 15, 2006. (A translator's nightmare.)
