Bailout: Big decisions are not best made while in a panic
The Bush Administration’s proposed $700 billion bailout could be the most important economic decision in decades – with consequences possibly lasting generations.

Palin says she opposed the “Bridge to Nowhere”—when in fact she fully supported it. McCain says Obama wants sex-ed for kindergartners—when he voted for a bill to protect them from...
