The Bailout

With both parties agreeing to a $700 billion (at least) bailout of Wall Street, I'm more convinced that voting Libertarian is the best thing to do this November. Neither candidate is very reassuring on this crisis. McCain's call for the resignation of Chris Cox at the SEC followed by his suggestion of Andrew Cuomo for the job was kind of bizarre, especially considering the recent Village Voice article assigning some of the blame for the subprime mess on Cuomo. Christopher Hitchens calls Obama "vapid, hesistant, and gutless."
