Greenspan to lose faith in conservative religion?
[A]lmost three years after stepping down as chairman of the Federal Reserve, a humbled Mr. Greenspan admitted that he had put too much faith in the self-correcting power of free markets and had failed to anticipate the self-destructive power of wanton mortgage lending.From the NYTimes.

a mccain "victory": a terrifyingly real possibility
from Rolling Stone:
Suppressing the vote has long been a cornerstone of the GOP's electoral strategy. Shortly before the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, Paul Weyrich — a principal architect of today's Republican Party — scolded evangelicals who believed in democracy. "Many of our Christians have what I call the 'goo goo' syndrome — good government," said Weyrich, who co-founded Moral Majority with Jerry Falwell. "They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. . . . As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."and from the Huffington Post:
finally, all the ACORN "voter fraud" bullshit reflects a now typical neo-conservative ploy: the accusation that their democratic opponents have their own worst faults. by claiming that the democrats, and specifically, ACORN, are involved in registering legions of fraudulent voters, the republicans have preemptively deflected the blame for what they, to some considerable degree of likelihood, plan on doing -- rigging the election. from the above references, we know the republicans have successfully rigged elections in the past and given the monumentally uphill battle they face this november 4th, they will try again.John McCain's campaign has directed $175,000 to the firm of a Republican operative accused of massive voter registration fraud in several states.
According to campaign finance records, a joint committee of the McCain-Palin campaign, the RNC and the the California Republican Party, made a $175,000 payment to the group Lincoln Strategy in June for purposes of "registering voters." The managing partner of that firm is Nathan Sproul, a renowned GOP operative who has been investigated on multiple occasions for suppressing Democratic voter turnout, throwing away registration forms and even spearheading efforts to get Ralph Nader on ballots to hinder the Democratic ticket.
what will you do if mccain is "elected"? what if obama doesn't win as the polls predict? this is probably the first time in my life where i feel that something incredibly important is "happening" and i don't want to stand by while the country is unlawfully taken away from its people.

The Palin stuff is surreal. Reminds me of the Rove video Jeff sent.
