10/6/2008 Taking Stock of Testosterone
by Tom Purcell Comment
Taking Stock of Testosterone By Tom Purcell Here's another cause of our financial woes: testosterone. A new study, detailed online in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, found that higher levels of testosterone correlate with riskier financial behavior. Men with more testosterone make riskier investments than those with lower level ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 Post - Wall Street
by Martha Randolph Carr Comment
Post-Wall Street By Martha Randolph Carr The world keeps evolving whether or not we choose to keep up and change with it. Intellectually, we all get that but it doesn’t mean we’re paying attention to the implications of standing on the sidelines. When we’re young it seems quaint to note how difficult it is for our parents and their frien ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 It Was Palin's Night To Avoid Losing
by Clarence Page Comment
Sen. Joe Biden won, yet Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin did not lose. That's because the bar was set so low for this year's only vice presidential debate. All either candidate had to do was walk across it. Scoring would be based on which candidate would make the fewest mistakes. Democrat Biden, long known for excessive gab and occasional gaffes, ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 Back To The Main Event
by Jules Witcover Comment
WASHINGTON -- Now that Sarah Palin has given artificial respiration to the John McCain effort by exceeding extremely low expectations in her debate with Joe Biden, it's up to McCain himself to breathe new life into his lethargic campaign. His next chance comes Tuesday night against Barack Obama at Belmont University in Nashville. That sch ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 Compassion, Certainly, But Justice, Too
by Leonard Pitts Jr Comment
The first time, Troy Davis came within 24 hours of death. The second time, he came within two. Last year, it was a Georgia clemency board that stepped in to block his execution. Last month, it was the Supreme Court. Davis, the 39-year-old convicted killer of Mark MacPhail, a Savannah, Ga. police officer, was granted a stay to allow the co ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 A Heartbeat Away
by Susan Estrich Comment
For all the Republicans' complaints about Gwen Ifill, the moderator's questions were softballs compared to what Sarah Palin faced from Katie Couric. Ifill did not demand that Palin list (OK, how about just name more than one?) Supreme Court decisions. She did not push on the issue of foreign policy experience. She didn't follow up on how ...

10/6/2008 The Year Of Campaign Chaos
by Michael Barone Comment
Politics ordinarily has a certain predictability. Yet presidential politics this year has often seemed to resemble what science writer James Gleick described in his book "Chaos." "Chaos," he quotes one physicist as saying, "eliminates the Laplacian fantasy of deterministic predictability." Time and again this year, unpredicted and seeming ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 Tough Speeches Instead Of Tough Choices
by Mark Shields Comment
Former Republican Senate leader Bob Dole, a man of uncommon candor, once said of his Senate colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, "We like to make tough speeches, but we don't like to make tough choices." I can only hope that Bob Dole was watching (as I was from the Senate press gallery) last Wednesday night, less than five weeks before ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 McCain Replaces Palin With Startled Deer
by Andy Borowitz Comment
Hoofed Running Mate Could Be Game-Changer. With less than a week to go before the crucial vice-presidential debate, GOP presidential nominee John McCain announced today that he was replacing his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, with a startled deer. According to campaign insiders, the decision to select a hoofed mammal to replace Go ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 Palin Wins Big With A Reagan-Like Flair
by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann Comment
Last night was a big, big win for Sarah Palin. She showed originality, charisma and sass — a style that is refreshing and different in our politics. She didn't just win the vice-presidential debate, she showed that she belongs with Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton as among the best communicators of our modern political times. Her sallies ag ...

10/6/2008 The Palin-Biden Verdict
by Deb Saunders Comment
She passed. He passed. Palin fared better going against Joe Biden than Katie Couric. Sure, she had moments when she seemed to be working too hard trying to remember what she was supposed to say so she awkwardly regurgitated a string of campaign buzzwords. Who cares? She didn't crash. And she showed Americans a candidate who does not speak ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 Return To Redistricting Sanity
by Deb Saunders Comment
As reform measures go, Proposition 11 — the redistricting reform measure — is hardly a transformational law likely to supercharge activists (of any political stripe) eager to make Sacramento more effective and more accountable to the public. Proposition 11 is too complicated and too tame. Alas, it is the only measure on the November ballo ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 How To Talk To Someone Who Sounds Racist
by Connie Schultz Comment
What should we do when racism catches us off-guard? I don't mean those anonymous comments on blogs or strangers who shout racial epithets from speeding cars. That's horrifying behavior, but we don't feel empowered to do much about it. It's a different story, though, when someone we know, maybe even love, says something that makes our neck ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 Palin Dominates VP Debate
by Roger Simon Comment
ST. LOUIS — Sarah Palin was supposed to fall off the stage at her vice presidential debate Thursday evening. Instead, she ended up dominating it. She not only kept Joe Biden on the defensive for much of the debate, she not only repeatedly attacked Barack Obama, but she looked like she was enjoying herself while doing it. She smiled. She f ...

10/6/2008 No Country For Liberals
by Marsha Mercer Comment
TAZEWELL, Va. -- Appalachia can be a cold country for liberals, so when word came that the Obama campaign was opening an office in town, Dee Crescitelli started driving by, just to see if it was open yet. When the storefront opened late last month, Dee, a teacher, and her husband, Todd, a lawyer, stopped to get campaign bumper stickers an ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 The Uplifting Debate
by David Broder Comment
ST. LOUIS -- The McCain campaign, perhaps fearful of the reviews that Sarah Palin would receive for her part in Thursday night's debate here, deployed a trio of almost-vice-presidential candidates to convince reporters that she had passed her big test. Rudy Giuliani was in one corner of the "spin" room, Joe Lieberman in another and Lindse ... READ MORE
10/6/2008 A Vote Against Rashness
by George Will Comment
His name was George F. Babbitt. He was 46 years old now, in April 1920, and he made nothing in particular, neither butter nor shoes nor poetry, but he was nimble in the calling of selling houses for more than people could afford to pay. -- "Babbitt," by Sinclair Lewis We are waist deep in evasions because one cannot talk sense about the c ...

10/6/2008 What McCain Learned From The Rough Rider
by George Will Comment
John McCain, like many Americans who should know better, extravagantly praises Theodore Roosevelt. He is a kindred spirit of the impulsive Rough Rider, but the visceral McCain is rescued from some of TR's excesses by not having TR's overflowing cupboard of ideas. In "Theodore Roosevelt: Preacher of Righteousness," Joshua David Hawley, 28, ... READ MORE
10/3/2008 Why the Bailout Is a Crock -- Opinion
by Bill Steigerwald Comment
It’s not your fault you don’t know that the percentage of American home mortgages in foreclosure today is about 2.75 percent. That shocking but true figure hasn’t been emphasized nearly enough by our favorite politicians and media sensationalists, who, as they usually do when real and imagined “national” crises appear, have managed to cr ...

10/3/2008 The Government Failed Us -- Interview With Glen Meakem
by Bill Steigerwald Comment
It's no surprise that someone who named his company FreeMarkets Inc., as founder and CEO Glen Meakem did, is a foe of the gargantuan financial bailout bill that President Bush signed into law Friday. Meakem, who calls himself "an economic conservative" and is active in Republican politics, sold his innovative business-to-business Interne ... READ MORE
10/3/2008 Palin Alone Disqualifies McCain
by Bill Press Comment
It used to be true that the office of vice president didn't amount to much. Not "worth a pitcher of warm spit," in the famous words of FDR's first vice-president, John Nance Garner. That changed with Dick Cheney, who exercised more power than any vice president in history. It also used to be true that nobody cast their vote for president ... READ MORE
10/3/2008 Hoover-Era Ghost Stories No Longer Apply
by Jonah Goldberg Comment
A very old story is once again being retold, with a few of the characters' names updated to besmirch the innocent. In this story, conservatives are to blame for an economic crisis because they allegedly believe there is no role for government in the economy, and all economic crises are due to lax regulation of markets. Cokie Roberts recen ... READ MORE
10/3/2008 The Change That Has Already Happened
by Mary Sanchez Comment
So Michelle Obama came to Kansas City the other day, speaking on a stage erected in the 18th and Vine district of the city, legendary for its role in African-American culture. Her speech to a cheering, largely African-American crowd of thousands was significant because of something she conspicuously neglected to acknowledge: She is on the ... READ MORE
10/3/2008 Spotlight On The Vice Presidency
by Jules Witcover Comment
WASHINGTON -- The unprecedented interest in Thursday night's debate between the vice-presidential nominees was undoubtedly the result of public and press curiosity about Republican Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska. But it also reflected how the office they seek has risen in the awareness of the voters. For good or ill, much of the credit or bla ... READ MORE
10/3/2008 Dear Congress: Put The Gun Down Now
by Michelle Malkin Comment
Will 2008 be the year of the Chicken Little Congress? Or can the House of Representatives show the panic-driven Senate what it really means to be a deliberative body? On Sept. 19, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson put a gun to America's head: Pass his $700 billion bailout of the banking industry and give him unfettered new powers to buy up ... READ MORE
