I’m all for cutting earmarks, but people need to recognize that earmarks are a really small portion of our budget. McCain makes it sound like fixing earmarks will fix the budget; that simply isn’t the case.
Cute, but way easier than the real space invaders and a helluva lot easier than really ending earmarks.
Earmark reform is needed, but McCain is stretching credulity when he says he will veto any bill with earmarks. Its the fat that greases the wheel and will never end entirely.
I have an old pc and use Netscape Internet Explorer as my browser. Well IE has folded so now I plan to download Firefox. But my mail is attached to Netscape. Will my mail automatically move over to Firefox? I don’t want to delete my saved mail.
Seeing Daschle on FNS reminded me just why I hated him. He liked to come across as so soft-spoken and nonpartisan when he is the biggest hack on earth. There’s nothing wrong with being a hack - but I can’t stand a phony.
The only problem I had with this is that the pigs should have different colors so you can tell which ones are 10-30 points. The original space invaders had different spaceships, so you could tell which ones had a greater point value. Otherwise, a very outside the box promotion. The McCain camp should keep it up.

My score: $8260 million. That was awesome! Major kudos to team McCain for coming up with that one. Very clever.

Cool!
I love Space Invaders, and now I can laugh my head off while playing!

I got to $7900.
That was amusing.

Can someone answer a computer question for me?
I have an old pc and use Netscape Internet Explorer as my browser. Well IE has folded so now I plan to download Firefox. But my mail is attached to Netscape. Will my mail automatically move over to Firefox? I don’t want to delete my saved mail.
Any help is appreciated.

Will Race42008 post the VP talk from the Sunday morning shows?
Ridge did not deny the VP talk and appeared willing to budge on the abortion issue, and Andrew Sullivan said McCain already picked Pawlenty.

#9 Adam,
That is why he was a successful Senator. I bet you he is on the Vp shortlist.

This could be addicting, even if it is a heck of a lot easier than Space Invaders actually was.
My one quibble, since this is only about pork, the facts about foreign policy should be replaced with something more on point.
