When my credit card debt has gotten uncomfortably high, I have done two things: 1. Taken on part-time work (increased revenues); and 2. Scrutinized my budget to establish more strict management of expenses (cut spending). Why does the Weeper of the House have a hard time understanding this formula?

Left-wing media elite gotcha journalist Katie Couric ambushes Sarah Palin with the question, What newspapers do you read?

Turns out that “Hockey Mom” Sarah Palin and her family don’t get their wardrobes nowadays from Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, (two of my favorites) or J.C. Penney (I’ve gotten some nice shirts there). They have been kitted out by the RNC with fashions from Neiman Marcus (over $75,000 worth) and Saks Fifth Avenue (nearly $50,000 worth).

No word yet from the campaign trail about what Mrs. Joe Plumber or Mrs. Joe Six-Pack wears, but we’re sure that Fox Nues will be all over it.

As Mr. Rogers (God rest his soul) might have asked, “Can you say ‘elite,’ boys and girls?”

 Sarah, are those Manolo Blahniks, or are you just glad to see me?

After last night’s (mercifully) last presidential debate, I was wondering, is McCain’s Joe-the-Plumber the same person as Palin’s Joe-Six-Pack?
