Boston Globe‘s “Obama for President“:
Now it seems prescient, as the nation confronts a financial crisis of historic proportions, as well as all the other policy failures and debt-fueled excesses of the last eight years. The United States has to dig itself out. Barack Obama is the one to lead the way.
Los Angeles Times‘s “Children of Vietnam War servicemen seek U.S. citizenship” gives a bit of background story on Randy Tran, the “sen” singer who used to sing with My Huyen. I’ve been wondering where has he been all these years.
In Virginia Beach rally, McCain-Palin supporters hold up signs that read “Obama Bin Layin’.” Apparently some republican still think Obama is a terrorist.
A spoof from Jay Smooth: “I’m John McCain and I just don’t care anymore.”
A McCain-Palin supporter holds a stuffed monkey with Obama’s name wrapped around his head and refers to him as “Little Hussein.” What even more disturbing is that no one from the crowd disapproved his action.
VNCR interviewed a man who married some girl in Viet Nam and ended up in an ugly divorce over monthly remittance for her family back home.
Wlliam Kristol said it’s time for John McCain to fire his campaign:
The McCain campaign, once merely problematic, is now close to being out-and-out dysfunctional. Its combination of strategic incoherence and operational incompetence has become toxic. If the race continues over the next three weeks to be a conventional one, McCain is doomed.
Seriously, if you hired a douchebag like Tucker Bounds to be your spokesperson, you are doomed.
Last Friday, my boss took me to PINK magazine’s 4th annual conference, a panel discussion of with American’s most influential women. Although I was relieved that I was not the only guy at the conference, men were way out-numbered. One of the panelists stood out to me was Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president of Children’s Defense Fund. Ms. Edelman was a humble, intelligent African-American woman who has her way with words. One of her advices during this crazy bailout time is to invest into the children. You simply can’t lose. I really like her advice. I am going to pull out of AIG and put my investment into my children (no punt intended).

This is a very bad news for the McCain campaign:
A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state’s public safety commissioner.
The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn’t the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.
