- Lunch time here on the Left Coast, where not only is my veggie burger about gone, but Barack Obama (not pictured) is fading faster than you can say, "the Oakland Raiders defense." McCain up by 5%. Who would've thunk it.
- Raiderette Irecel. Irecel is attending the Fashion Institute of Design Merchandising where she is pursuing a degree in Merchandise and Marketing. In the future, Irecel wants to become a buyer for a large high-end clothing store. I think a "large high-end clothing store" is different than a "high-end large clothing store."
- Just a reminder, Gail is running to raise money for cancer research this weekend. She's close to her goal. Help if you can!
- We hear a lot of this and that during the campaign. Is anyone factchecking? Yes! Factcheck.org! How did they come up with that name? Anyways, they're keeping track of Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, and John McCain. The political-slight-of-hand trick is to take quotes out of context. All of the candidates do this to each other, while "the victim" cries outrage and then turns out another negative ad. Same Same Same, every election year.
- Meanwhile, in the markets... Saudi Arabia says "Whatchu talkin' 'bout, OPEC?" And say that they're not planning on cutting back on oil production. Gold is down. Nasdaq up, according to FBN, that RIMM's Blackberry assault. New products and such.
