In fact, some of the most basic details, including the $700 billion figure Treasury would use to buy up bad debt, are fuzzy.

“It’s not based on any particular data point,” a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. “We just wanted to choose a really large number.”

— OH MY GOD. YES. THAT IS A REAL QUOTE. IT REALLY REALLY IS. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD??

Mr. McCain had not planned to devote large blocks of time to debate practice as did Mr. Obama … . Mr. McCain had a preparatory session on Wednesday afternoon at the Morgan Library in Manhattan, but advisers said it was interrupted by his decision, announced immediately afterward, to suspend his campaign.

— AMAZING TIMELINE. Is it possibly as simple as one of these: 1) McCain got bored/sick of practicing or 2) McCain’s dudes realized he was SO TERRIBLE at talking that they couldn’t go through with it? Which is more likely? Which makes McCain seem worse?

UPDATE: jumco fixed the links and reformatted this post without changing any content (Although he wanted to because of the weird and inexplicable use of fundiespeak. I will post a link to how to use the blogger posting box for such things as bold, italic, justify, and hyperlinks).

  1. FUNDIESPEAK is the TENDENCY! of fundamentalist evangelicals to over-utilize ALL CAPS and @!@!!!!! in making their 'points.' I was not calling roga a fundie or fundagelical, I was using the opportunity to assume he was uncertain of how to use the blogspot tools for making points with bold, italic, etc.
