The Bailout's Fault Lines Finally, the outlines of a coherent debate on the federal bailout. This comes as welcome relief from a campaign season that gave us the House Republicans' know-nothing rejectionism, John McCain's mindless railing against "greed and corruption" and Barack Obama's detached enunciation of vacuous bailout "principles" that allowed him to be all things to all people.

That’s a real conundrum.” Editor's Note -- Radical homosexual leaders, showing intolerance around the nation are planning a “National Day of Protest” on Saturday, November 15, 2008.

Editor's Note -- The best part of this article is at the end "What we stand for is worth fighting for."

Just be good for goodness' sake," will appear on Washington, D.C., buses starting next week and running through December. The American Humanist Association unveiled the provocative $40,000 holiday ad campaign Tuesday.In lifting lyrics from "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," the Washington-based group is wading into what has become a perennial debate over commercialism, religion in the public square and the meaning of Christmas.
