McCain wants to raise taxes on every working American and make you pay taxes on your health benefits. Wow. From AP: Barack Obama launched a multifaceted attack on presidential rival John McCain's health care proposal Saturday, elevating an issue that has been on the back burner in the White House race but remains a top concern for voters. Obama planned to criticize McCain's plan to tax health care benefits as "radical" during an event in ...

I received this letter from the McCain/Palin campaign today in response to our call for them to support "open debates." Wonderfully progressive and right from these candidates on the Right.

The 30-minute rampage, caught on the zoo's security camera, happened early Wednesday after the boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia, said zoo director Rex Neindorf. The child then went on a killing ...

Leading conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer pretty much threw in the white flag this morning. He did a little slash and burn first, trying to mislead his readers into thinking that Obama has only been working at the federal level for 19 months - cute, but a lie - but still, even Krauthammer had to then concede that Obama is probably going to win. Now, don't get your hopes too high - we can still lose ...

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, alarmed by the ongoing national financial crisis, warned Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson on Thursday that the state might need an emergency loan of as much as $7 billion from the federal government within weeks. The warning comes as California is close to running out of cash to fund day-to-day government operations and is unable to access routine short-term loans that it typically relies on to remain solvent.

Joe Klein writes up the debate:The fact that Palin made it through the debate without running off the stage shouting, "I can't do this!" should not obscure the fact that there was only one person tonight whom anyone with any sense—even John McCain, I imagine—would trust as President.

Nintendo's bringing Punch-Out to the Wii next year, but as a huge Mike Tyson's Punch-Out fan, I've got some reservations. It's certainly nice to see King Hippo, Glass Joe and Little Mac back, but I can't help but feel that the cel-shaded graphics are inferior to the glorious cartoon caricatures of Super-Punch Out! And then there's simply that shocked feeling of branding sacrilege that makes me sashay around the room, indignantly "Well! I never!"-ing. No ...

Bush: The debt was $5.7 trillion when Bush took office; the bailout legislation passed by the Senate last night would ...
