$150,000 for Yapper Palin's wardrobe and $13,000 for her makeup.
Go back to sleep. We'll get you tomorrow night.

4. Most October Surprise theories posit the surprise would benefit the GOP's election chances. |

I'm not seeing how the bailout achieves this.

6. Perhaps my cynicism did not shine through |

in all its glory.
At any rate, I believe that the GOP realized that they couldn't pull this one out of the fire, so they just grabbed as much loot as they could on their way out. It might not have helped their election chances, but it certainly benefited a lot of fat-cats with close GOP ties.

7. Yes, you must have overslept. We all had pie. |
|
But we saved you a slice.
