Posted by Russell McLendon on Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 3:20 PM
BAILOUT: President Bush, looking concerned, nervous but still slightly amused, tells the nation that the "entire economy is in danger."
PALIN: CNN's Campbell Brown issued a rant to the McCain campaign Tuesday, calling for it to stop sheltering its VP candidate and treating her "like she is a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment," in response to the campaign barring reporters from asking her questions at a U.N. appearance. Palin was then turned loose to Katie Couric Wednesday, and it did not go well.
MCCAIN: Suspends his campaign to focus on the economy, and asks Obama to postpone Friday's debate if a bailout deal isn't reached by then. Obama declines, saying "It is going to be part of the president’s job to deal with more than one thing at once."
GAS PANIC: Still going on, and people are still fighting at gas stations.
MERGE PROTECTOR: Northwest Airlines' shareholders this morning approved merging with Delta, whose shareholders will also vote today. Antitrust approval still awaits.
EURO TRIP: Gov. Perdue's upcoming trip to Spain is expected to cost taxpayers $100,000 at a time when Georgia faces a nearly $1.6 billion budget shortfall and has asked state agencies, including the governor's office, to cut back.
SHOOTING THE BREEZE: The Gainesville Times reports that relocated city slickers often are shocked this time of year by their neighbors outside, guns a-blazin', because much of unincorporated Georgia allows residents to shoot guns on their own property.
UGA VS. 'BAMA: Officials warn that Athens may be flooded with counterfeit tickets Saturday, as average real-ticket prices are more than $300.
TERROR LEVEL RED HOT: New England isn't establishing a good track record with bomb recognition. First there was the 2007 Aqua Teen Hunger Force scare in Boston; now the Philadelphia Phillies blew up some hot dogs before losing to the Braves Wednesday night.
