Open Left points us to this interesting startup designed to keep track of the derailment of the Straight Talk Express.

Created by a Republican media consultant (the guy started working for Reagan!), well, let him tell his story:

I have always taken a low, or no, profile in campaigns, as I learned long ago not to become an issue myself. But as I approach 62, the impact of another Republican in the White House on my 9-year old daughter, my 39-year old son, and 1-year old grandson, drives me ever deeper to the radical center.

I admired and supported the John McCain of 2000, less so the John McCain of 2004. And, now I barely know the man, who he is or what he really stands for, and against.

The intro video is creative, to the point, and effective:

Our man-child President thinks war is cool. Of course, we all knew that.

I could be wrong in asking this only to Dave. But if my memory serves me, dave is on board with a Free Market economy. Dave likes to give his opinion on fiscal matters too, so I don’t think I’m out of turn on this one. And we all know that he has been very supportive of Bush and his way of creating a Free Market Economy. I can’t help but ask if this is what Dave and other conservative consider a Lazze Faire Approach?

I ask because when a company like Bear Sterns was 5 minutes from getting flushed in the shitter today, our Free Market Economic approach Bush Style kicked into high gear today.

NEW YORK – Bear Stearns, one of the nation’s biggest and most prominent investment banks, stunned Wall Street Friday by announcing it had turned to a rival bank and the federal government for an emergency bailout.

Now put this on top of this news:
Last week, the Fed announced an industry-wide rescue package that would provide as much as $200 billion in loans to banks and investment houses and allow them to put up risky home-loan packages as collateral. It was the Fed’s latest effort to stem a global credit crisis that began last August with rising loan defaults for subprime mortgages, loans provided to borrowers with weak credit histories.

and you have yourself one heck of a conundrum

UPDATE: OH MY….

NEW YORK – President Bush preached optimism and Republican orthodoxy of minimalist government intervention Friday as the best approach to an increasingly troubled economy.
His main message, aside from displaying confidence in the U.S. economy’s underpinnings and historical resilience, was to caution against overreaction by policymakers that could damage the economy’s short- and long-term prospects, something he did about a half-dozen times in 40 minutes of remarks.

Bullock: 2

Hartley-Nagle: 1

It is STILL  anybody’s game.

Okay.  I said it could be awesome or it could suck and two things seem to be problematic.

1) It is too early.

2) Nobody wants to give money to the eventual nominee.

I’ll be retooling this caucus idea and I am quite sure that version 2.0 will be teh awesome.

Dave says:

“Sen. Copeland just happened to be in the room when leadership decided to hold up wind power, just happened to know when the D.C. lawyer was hired, just happened to have breakfast with the guy before the hearing when the PSC is ambushed…”

And yet he made none of those decisions. Adams, DeLuca and McDowell did.

Here we go again, the impotence defense. Funny how Charlie Copeland can be a big man during his press conferences, but when he gets alone with DeLuca and McDowell his is just a cowering little pansy. Poor guy.

Here is the thing. We know that as the McRae grilling was getting underway, Copeland told Peterson that he was in on the short notice strategy meetings and what is worse, he was in agreement with the “PSC on trial” strategy. So if Dave’s boy if just the victim of circumstances why doesn’t he at least correct the record? Why not call Peterson a liar? McDowell has.

For that matter if what Dave says is true, why doesn’t he call out McDowell and DeLuca? More points for “open government” right?

Why? Because he can’t. Peterson is not lying and McDowell is not date raping him.

Copeland and McDowell’s juice swapping on the Blue Water Wind is consensual. That is obvious.
