Disturbing News North Korea Update
The United States and North Korea are being flexible in their effort to reach a compromise to resolve the dispute in the North's nuclear disarmament process, South Korea's foreign minister said Tuesday.
During the vice presidential debate, Sarah Palin would wink a couple of times when she delivered a line. Did you see that? She’d kind of wink and try to use a little sex appeal. See, the other candidates could never get away with that. Like if Barack Obama winked, that would be seen as too condescending. If Joe Biden winked, it’d be too creepy. If McCain started winking, everybody would think he was having a stroke. - Jay Leno

Lisa,
Thanks

"But, of
course, what she's really not having an effect on is the presidential race. Even
though she did well in the debate last night, McCain is still sinking in the
polls. He's getting desperate. His new campaign slogan is 'McCain: The White
Obama.'" --Bill Maher

Republican vice
presidential candidate Sarah Palin says she's an open book regarding an
abuse-of-power investigation. Apparently her staff doesn't feel the same way.
During the debate the other night, the moderator asked Sarah Palin to describe her Achilles heel, but instead of talking about her biggest weakness, she talked about her greatest strength, which apparently is not answering questions. - Jay Leno

"The good news is, Sarah Palin can complete a sentence. The bad news is, the rest of us have to listen to it." --Bill Maher

The U.S. Federal Reserve is reportedly looking at getting into unsecured lending, an extreme step that could allow it to directly purchase commercial paper, according to a report in the Financial Times. The report said the Fed had never done so in its history, but doing so could allow it to participate in the frozen inter-bank money market and the contracting commercial paper market.
"Fascism
ought more properly be called corporatism because
Richard Fuld, the former CEO of Lehman Brothers, grilled by Congress today. And they made him explain why he took $480 million in compensation when he knew some shareholders would lose their life savings. Yeah. Turns out, he had a good reason. Apparently, he is a greedy bastard.- Jay Leno
Bush-Prison-Torture News
"Of
course, the most controversial thing Sarah Palin said last night was she felt
the vice president should have more power. More power? Dick Cheney is shooting
people in the face and doesn't even get arrested. You cannot get any more
powerful than that." --Jay Leno Go-F**k-Yourself News
