– Hollis French promises to get some sort of pre-November resolution of the Troopergate case despite the stonewalling of the Palins and their newfound friends, the lawyers that the McCain campaign has got camped out in Anchorage armtwisting and lobbying the Lege.
– John McCain is trying to explain, in the midst of the stock market meltdown, why taking our Social Security money and giving it to his Wall Street buddies is somehow a good idea. (Paul Krugman and Jesse Jackson Jr. remind us that McCain has, up until about 72 hours ago, been in favor of ripping out all the safeguards put into America’s financial systems by FDR.)
– Charges against Amy Goodman and other journalists arrested while covering the Republican National Convention have been dropped. Very good news!
