A lot of people, will be watching Washington today, to see if

The problem with the passage of this bill is that, this will not completely solve the problem. It is just the beginning, the structure problem in the system needs to be addressed. Hopefully, someone or

The "Great Debate', betwen Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joe Biden, occurred on Thursday night at 9:00 p.m. est, at Washington University, in St. Louis, Missouri. The much anticipated possible
collapse of Governor Palin did not occur, neither did Senator Biden
insert his foot in his mouth, and put out a gaffe, that would be played over and over again on the networks stations.

She, from her answer, as to which Vice-President she admired, said George H. W. Bush, because he went on to be President after learning at the feet of the President. Some assume that this means she has aspirations, of becoming President someday, should John McCain win in November, don't really think that will happen, but that does not mean, that she, if that is what she aspires too, will give up her dream. Let's see if the fact that the Alaskan judge's decision to allow the case to go forward, into whether or not she abused her powers as Governor, will make any difference.
