The tin cup is out and the Wall Street bankers are only offering pencils for our donation. With ridiculous talk of reigning in corporate jet spending, capping salaries and golden parachutes, we have been blinded by the juggling cups that hide the ping pong ball!

For the past three years, our family and community have organized a wonderful fundraising program that purchases well needed shoes for the AIDS orphans in Makuru, just outside of Nairobi, run by the Sisters of Mercy. In addition to providing school shoes, these funds go directly to a consortium of shoe cobblers, part of Ashieng Footwear, organized several years ago by a French businessman.

After reading the press release and article on Huffpo just now, I couldn't help but be a little disturbed about this new venture that Dan Abrams has launched. Did you ever just get that "uuugh" feeling...

Watching the morning news, the GM bailout discussion goes on. On Scarborough, Mark Spellun from Plenty Magazine touted that GM is on the track to produce cars that will get over 40 miles per gallon by 2020. That's right...2020! Where have we heard this before, say about 20 years ago? Enough is enough, it's time to invest in Tesla.

The world as it could have been. How many of us spoke with individuals that would have left the U.S. with either a McCain or Clinton Presidency? After all is said and done, the global economy and communities may have seen a seismic shift if history was different if President Elect Obama had not succeeded.

More and more talk about Undecided voters is filtering into the conversation with 5 days to go. Tonight on Hardball, Chris is scheduled to delve into these mystery voters, and articles are popping up in Politico and elsewhere. This is nothing new, but how will "they" decide when it comes down to pulling the lever?

Casually perusing the morning's paper today in Lancaster, PA, and came across an article outlining the Pennsylvania's GOP efforts to win this crucial state for McCain. Appearing in Lancaster mailboxes already, the local newspaper requested some interesting feedback from the local repugs on this late, nasty tactic.

There are times during a debate when the candidates are bantering back and forth on their platforms and issues, where one can expect what their position is going to be. But there was a small, almost unnoticeable statement from McCain last night that made my hair stand on end!

Woke up early - caught that the markets were collapsing in Asia and Europe. Popped over to Drudge and caught this leader headline from the Washington Times coming out today!

There have been individuals in this country who have historically appealed to the worst in man and society. Over the course of confronting societal demons, why have men in positions of power, chosen to fan the flames of hate, bigotry, fear, and antagonism? As history has proven these individuals to be blemishes on our democratic system, it is at this point in time, as we face tremendous challenges as a nation, the McCain campaign has chosen to align themselves with this historical group, and hopefully in retrospect will be viewed as one of the darker examples in political tactics.

If things weren't bad enough with this bailout, rescue, or whatever you want to call this thing, the ineptitude of our congress continues to boggle the mind. As details of the amended bill spill out, as believe it or not, per Joe Scarborough - "They just can't help themselves! Shame on them!"
