Apparently John McCain is suspending his political campaign to work on the financial crisis. That's big of him, considering he helped create it in the first place. Because deregulation is always the answer! The market knows all! The market will take care of things! until the big investors look like losing their shirts and go crying to the government to kiss it better with taxpayers' money, anyway.

This seems like an excellent time to revisit an old favourite!

The election needs to be put off until such time as Senator McCain is doing better in the polls.

We should totally have coffee this weekend and gripe long and loud about this nonsense. I'll bring a sketchbook and illustrate it.
