* The markets started high before ending low, with the Dow dropping about 76 points today.
* Remember Bush's pledge to cut the deficit in half by 2009? Well, never mind.
* This tax-cut calculator is a pretty good idea.
* This White House has abused "executive privilege" in ways no one even imagined before 2001.
* We're back, once again, to McCain/Palin supporters calling for Obama's assassination. It's no longer foolish to think the Secret Service may want to start keeping an eye on these Republican rallies.
* Christopher Buckley endorsed Obama, and almost immediately lost his job at the National Review.
* I used to think former Sen. John Danforth (R-Mo.) was an honorable guy. So much for that idea.

* TPM cronws Palin the "Queen of the Liars."
* There is nothing too sleazy for most right-wing blogs.
* I'm beginning to think CNN's Campbell Brown knows what she's doing.
* George McGovern, you really ought to know better.
* Eugene Robinson: "When a political party reaches the point of lurching incoherence, the most effective cure is a good, long spell in the wilderness. Americans should help Republicans out by sending them home to get their act together."
