Run-down of stuff I'm reading today!
Unemployment is hitting women particularly hard. (h/t WashingtonMonthly)
Obama smacks McCain on the economy.
Remember that voter disenfranchisement mess in Michigan I was talking about before? The one where McCain's campaign was allegedly working with the Michigan GOP to keep people whose homes are in foreclosure from voting? Obama's campaign is filing a suit. (h/t WashingtonMonthly)
One of McCain's former biggest fans is sick of all the lying. (h/t WashingtonMonthly)
Military suicide is likely to reach the highest it's been since the Vietnam War. (h/t Gidster)
Even Karl Rove thinks McCain's gone "too far" into the realm of dishonesty and general wackiness. Ouch, dude. That's like Cruella De Vil calling you "a bit too callous." (h/t MoveOn.org)
The Economic Policy Institute has decided that Obama's health plan will outperform McCain's in both coverage and efficiency.
And the Washington post has a handy graph of who'll gain what from McCain and Obama's tax proposals. Seriously! You can look at the chart and it says, "You are here." McCain would help me out with twenty bucks. That's about a week's worth of coffee at Starbuck's. Obama's plan would get me $567 more dollars a year, which combined with a health care plan that will actually work (see the last question on this run-down of the candidates' answers to ScienceDebate '08) will go a long way toward actually improving my quality of life.
Planned Parenthood makes campaign issues out of sex education and sexual assault, almost like they matter or something! (h/t Curvature)
And, last but not least, the American Family Association is flipping out that the EU might declare official opposition to laws that make homosexuality a crime.
