Biden today in Mesilla, New Mexico, and Obama in Roanoke, Virginia.

In Virginia Obama spoke of McCain's healthcare plan (this is how his remarks were prepared, not what he exactly said):

Senator McCain has been eager to share some details of his health care plan – but not all. Like those ads for prescription drugs, you have to read the fine print to learn the full story. First, we found out that he wants to pay for his plan by taxing your health care benefits for the first time in history, just like George Bush. That was bad enough. But the Wall Street Journal recently reported that it’s actually worse than we thought. It turns out, Senator McCain would pay for part of his plan by making drastic cuts in Medicare –$882 billion worth. $882 billion in Medicare cuts to pay for an ill-conceived health care plan, even as Medicare already faces a looming shortfall.

The Texas Open Beaches Act could mean ruin for the victims of Hurricane Ike. Under it, it is illegal to build anything between the high and low tide line as it is considered public property. Here's a bit on it from an article over at MSNBC

Over the years, the state has repeatedly invoked the law to seize houses in cases where a storm eroded a beach so badly that a home was suddenly sitting on public property. The aftermath of Ike could see the biggest such use of the law in Texas history.

What is going to happen to the victims of Hurricane Ike affected by this?
