Ready to pay more for less healthcare?

Of course, the ad assumes that those who are being taxed still have jobs:
The government is out with more bad economic news this morning: The job market began to deteriorate even before the financial crisis reached a more serious stage two weeks ago.
Employers cut 159,000 jobs in September, more [...]

In his 1961 short story Harrison Bergeron, Kurt Vonnegut wrote about a futuristic United States in which everyone is not only equal, but forcably equalized: 
In the story, societal equality has been achieved by handicapping the most intelligent, athletic or beautiful members of society down to the level of the lowest common endowment. This process is [...]

CBS and CNN are both already out with post-VP debate polls.  Each shows that Biden won:
CNN/OPINION
Who Did the Best Job In the Debate?
Biden 51%
Palin 36%

QUESTION Regardless of which candidate you happen to support, who do you think did the best job in the debate – Joe Biden or Sarah Palin?

Let’s face it: things have not gone well for Sarah Palin lately.  She apparently views tonight’s debate against Joe Biden as her opportunity to get aggressive and regain the initiative.  That’s her campaign’s plan, anyway:

Joe Biden gets the zinger of the night. Responding to John McCain’s listing of all of the places he’d been and people he’s met, Biden pointed out that he’d been to all of the same places and met all of the same people. He added: “Just because I was there doesn’t make me right.” [...]

“Some people have a way with words. Other people. . . oh, I don’t know.  Not have way, I guess.”

Catch that? Try and keep your eyes in your skull as you follow along with Sarah:

Oil and coal? Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you know, the molecules, where it’s going and [...]

John McCain and Sarah Palin are lying about a number of things.  Paul Krugman correctly calls it a “Blizzard of Lies:”
Did you hear about how Barack Obama wants to have sex education in kindergarten, and called Sarah Palin a pig? Did you hear about how Ms. Palin told Congress, “Thanks, but no thanks” when it [...]
