10:20am .. Why then?

President Bush's news conference this morning began at 10:20am. Odd timing?

Maybe. At the same time, Ben Bernanke appeared before Senators this morning at the same time.

The President bumped off the bad news.

The headlines don't show the same confidence that Bush did today..

THE ECONOMY IS FALLING! THE ECONOMY IS FALLING!

While Bush spoke, he called for more drilling ..

And the prices fell.

Oil prices fell harder than they have in 17 years today as fears took over that record fuel prices are spreading economic pain..

Bernanke appeared today .. gloomy.

All about that NEW YORKER cover..

The controversy and discussion continues.

I talked to a few people about this--one person I spoke to subscribed to the NEW YORKER but didn't think the Obama as terrorist comic gracing their front was clever.. Actually found it to be offensive.

Another person I talked to that wasn't intellectual as the NEW YORKER professes to be, thought it was pretty funny--and saw the humor! And he likes Obama.

Andrew Sullivan with an interesting perspective on the NEW YORKER flap..

Another analyst writes that the cover, though parody, fans the flames of the Obama rumors.

Remember back in the 90's when there was no decency or standards? How we long for those days again..

Clowns on the interstate

Actual photo from Interstate 81 near Harrisburg, PA, today..

A traveler riding a bike. With a giant tire.. His carbon footprint may be small, but his danger level of going 5 miles per hour on a clown bike on an Interstate with cars traveling 75 to 80 mph may he higher than ever.

I hope he got where he was going..
