Today's edition of quick hits:
* The Fed cut interest rates to just 1%. The markets' reaction was mixed.
* McCain fans get violent in Miami.
* More of the same: "Authorities at the University of Kentucky are trying to find out who hung an effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on campus."
* Sarah Palin has already been the subject of multiple ethics complaints; what's one more?
* It looks like there are quite a few cheapskates in the Senate Democratic caucus.
* The right is now unabashedly anti-equality? These guys have really fallen off the ideological cliff.
* By Rudy Giuliani's own standards, he can't possibly vote for John McCain.
* Rep. Chris Shays, a Connecticut Republican: "[John McCain] has lost his brand as a maverick."
* Ari Fleischer should probably brush up on GOP talking points before appearing on CNN.
* The next stimulus bill will be debated in the House after the election, but before the winter holidays.
* I get the sense that McCain doesn't know what a "safety net program" is.
* And finally, Jonathan Stein made an interesting observation yesterday: while the DNC's site is heavily promoting Obama, the RNC's site doesn't feature McCain at all. I just checked a moment ago, searching the RNC's home page. It features Obama's name six times, and doesn't mention its own party's presidential nominee even once.
