This morning's laughter
Melissa asks What is your worst fear, if any, about the current economic situation? (via Susie)
This morning's mail brought two tin cup shakes, one from the DSCC, penned by the only candidate I'd vote for in the general (I'm still registered in Maine's 1st CD, and it would take an act of Dog to turn that electoral vote a lighter hue of indigo), the other penned by the only other candidate I contributed to in Iowa (before he endorsed one of the Hero Twins).
According to SurveyUSA, 67% of us phlegmatic Yankees (I'm working on my transplanted values, like some other guy) worry there may be a run on the banks.
So where in the two tin cups was there anything outside the red meat envelop of swiftboaters and slash-and-burn politics and yatta yatta by those bad GOP meanies, the smallest awareness of the target as something other than a victim of talk radio and/or Wal-Mart blogger road rage? Something on the order of "hey, I know you're worried about a run on the banks, but I'm asking for money anyway, 'cause ..."
No where. In the broadest targeted outreach to the base of the party of the poor. That's good for a laugh.
