Friday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The campaigns get back at it today. Because, you know, both sides took the day off from politicking yesterday -- except Sarah Palin. But, we've already learned the rules don't apply to her. Here's a question: Will the traditional media and the punditry ever just start reporting that McCain (who they all used to love) is basing his whole campaign on lies and distortions? The guy has lost all sense of honor and decorum. Now, the political press are clinging to their romanticized view of McCain, but he's morphed into a Karl Rove-made clone of George Bush.

Ike is bearing down on Texas. We'll be monitoring that throughout the day via the SciGuy's blog. The storm surge could be huge.
