My friend (and former student) Nathan Rodriguez has a measured and well-written look at the VP debate over at the Talking Points Memo Cafe. Support another Kansan who is out there thinking and writing, won’t you?

I have an anonymous friend who has commented here under the name “Perhaps a sample of one was too small…“. He is a loan officer at a local bank and had this breaking news to report shortly after the House of Representatives passed (and Bush signed) the Bailout today:
I have been face deep in the awfulness of work and didn’t realize the bailout (complete with enough pork to feed the gentiles of this world for a decade) had passed. But things are starting to make sense.
I couldn’t figure out why, but about an hour ago money started flying from the teller drawers and shooting from my disk drive. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth (or be too concerned with the textbook definition of “theft”) I immediately scooped some up, bought 20 Alt-A mortgages, packaged them, sold them for 3 times what they’re worth, and borrowed against my future earnings. Mortimer, we’re back!!!Anonymous

I’ve pointed out my good friend Joel’s poetry before and he is at it again. This time, Joel has three pieces published in the October issue of the North Carolina regional mag, The Blotter. Check out the entire mag at their site, or you can download a PDF of the October issue. Keep up the good work, Joel!
