Here's some other important or interesting news that doesn't involve bailout rescue plans...

Sens. Obama and McCain will debate each other for the first time this Friday night; it will focus on national security primarily. And Obama also states an inconvenient truth... all these bailouts mean less government money for the next President to do anything of substance. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow likens the bailout plan to kids in a candy store. President Bush addresses the U.N. for the last time as President (and boy, will the U.N. miss him). And reporters get angry after her majesty, Sarah Palin, attempts to control how the press may cover her U.N. visit. The McCain campaign holds a conference call to... whine about media coverage? President Bush's EPA continues to be useless. And communist China's deregulated free-market paradise continues to kill people with its poisoned products. Meanwhile, Def. Sec. Gates urges 'caution' in our illusionary Iraq pullout, and also laments that Afghanistan will have to wait a bit longer for troop support.

Finally, play the general election board game! Fun (?) for the whole family!
