We all knew the price of gasoline would come down the 4-6 weeks before the election, the only question was how low would it go.
The current price is still noticeably higher than it was last year at this time.
I think we're just getting a slight reprieve so that we won't be shocked by the $5/gallon that should hit just about June of next year.

Well, not really. And the lower prices are being forced by the fact that the oil speculation bubble has exploded and a barrel of oil now costs nearly half what it did a few months ago.
One issue I’m interested in that I think hasn’t been aired yet is whether or not a new Obama administration will try to use the considerable leverage at its disposal to enhance the credibility and standing of some of the new more progressive media — with Maddow’s show certainly being a big part of that.
That's a fantastically stupid concept.
I'll go further: it's fucking vile.
It was vile when Bush did it and it'll be vile if Obama does it.
If the "tranditional" liberal media wants to "enhance" itself, it needs to simply deliver quality programming to its liberal audience.
And if liberals want to take advantage of that, they need to find qualified spokespeople who can (1) are not afraid to speak truth to power (2) who look credible while doing so to liberals, moderates and conservatives and (3) who have good speaking voices and appealing to viewers.

I was mildly critical of Rachel Maddow's show when it debuted, mostly over the production values.
But, she came on fast, smoothed out the rough spots and has made it tough to switch off after Countdown. It's a terrific show, perfect tone, engaging, smart host, the package and, in many ways, easier to watch than Olbermann's show.

I think also liberal TV and radio shows to try to follow the model of this blog, i.e., they should comment on the bullcrap being spouted by the traditional media shows.
Jon Stewart does this already but "he's a comedian." There is room for serious discussion however. For example, I can imagine a show with a moderator and a few guests that spends a few hours a week just taking down the bullshit that gets spun on This Week in Washington, the NewsHour, McLaughlin and other popular outlets. It goes without saying that the "liberals" on those show suck my fucking ass. They need to be taken down.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Evangelist Billy Graham was hospitalized Saturday after tripping and falling over one of his dogs at his North Carolina home, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The 89-year-old Graham was at Mission Hospital in Asheville with discomfort and bruising and hoped to be home later in the day, said spokeswoman Merrell Gregory. He was listed in fair condition and his physicians report that X-rays showed no broken bones, Gregory said in a news release.
For six decades, Graham led a worldwide crusade-based ministry that packed stadiums with believers and allowed him to counsel every U.S. president since Harry Truman.
The Southern Baptist minister fell late Friday at his home in Montreat, N.C.
Earlier this year, Graham had elective surgery to update a shunt that controls excess fluid on his brain. The shunt was first installed in 2000 and drains fluid from through a small tube, relieving excess pressure that can cause symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease.
Graham has also suffered from prostate cancer and macular degeneration. He was hospitalized last year for nearly two weeks after experiencing intestinal bleeding.
Graham turns 90 on Nov. 7.

What's USSR style education,
I've had the opportunity to work along side a few educated in various part of the former communist block. A few from Cuba, a couple from Romania, one from the old Yugoslavia, one from Bulgaria and some Ukranians. To me it seemed that the ones educated in the satellite countries, Cuba, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia Ukranians, were better educated in some ways much better than most USians. (techy/engineering fields of study)
The Romanians were the ones worst off they'd been some sort of collective factory managers, (accountants essentially) and had to go back to school to acquaint themselves with western ways of doing business. Though they probably could have grasped something state run like the VA.

Yes -- they introduced him, along with Governor Rendell.
