From John Cole (h/t Kevin) - reminders that Jeremiah Wright was not involved in any of the offenses of national import that the Bush Administration was - and really, that John McCain wants largely to perpetuate:
“Is it an offensive notion that the government created aids? Absolutely, but I refuse to get all bent out of […]
When their only principle is power, is it strange that the powerful are unprincipled?
Karl Rove feigns an innocent appreciation of John McCain.
Meanwhile, consider that John McCain believes it’s ok for the CIA to torture - although he uses other words for it.

[OneMan in comments below is right - Henry Treftz, Vice Chair of the Aurora Township GOP was there (although I missed seeing him) - and yes, he is a cool guy.]
Last Friday over 125 people attended Alderman Stephanie Kifowit’s official announcement that she is running for Mayor of Aurora. Under the banner “Leadership that […]
This is a case of putting it all together - and while I only play an economist on this blog, my sense is that Andrew Ross Sorkin had it right in Tuesday’s New York Times:
