People are mad as hell and they are under no delusions who got us into this mess. Well, at least 86 percent of us are.

How do you vote for leaders who ignored climate change, mocked any concern for the loss of habitat and biological diversity, and dismantled the wall separating church and state?

Americans now pay less in taxes than at any time since WWII. The low tax rate, in effect now for eight years, has produced nothing even close to resembling general prosperity.

Call me out of step, but I want a president who's better than me.

If both candidates have voted overwhelmingly with their party do you want the one who voted with Bush 90% of the time or the one who voted against Bush 96% of the time?

Palin is in the driver's seat and plans to stay there. Her take-no-prisoners nasty streak and extreme right wing views have found kindred spirits now that she's fully staffed up with veterans of Bush.

One of the tactics of high pressure selling is to set a deadline, and make it clear that if you don't chose the offer by the date set, you lose it.

I refuse to get too wrapped up in the question of who "won" the debate. In general, unless one candidate obviously self-destructs, this question is answered subjectively and personally. That's not to say I didn't think Biden did better. I did.

Plan B was the legacy plan, designed to lock in as many Bush policies as possible before losing the presidency to the Democrats.

No matter how you receive your daily dose of everyday information, intelligent or dubious, if it's in print form, it's your responsibility to make certain it doesn't wind up in a landfill.

There wasn't much substance coming out of Sarah Palin as she tried her best to avoid answering the questions last night. What did slip out, though, you should truly find frightening.

Here's my suggestion for ambitious Republicans facing Democratic incumbents who voted for the bailout -- say no to the bailout, loud and clear -- and call your opponent out for his/her support of Wall Street.

I am doing a serial examination of the crisis in terms of Republican complicity, the coming congressional races and the need for an Obama landslide.

Helping homeowners directly is a lot cheaper, more direct, and more cost-effective than handing banks $700 billion. It focuses on consumers, not lenders. It stimulates demand rather than rewarding greed.

In some ways, it's not only the economy that's now facing organ failure; it's also the GOP itself. Over the next few days we'll be seeing something approaching a civil war developing in the party.

Voters do want real change and they deserve a opposition party which will stand up for them and fight for an alternative economic plan.
