Programming Note

I'm going to be on Bill Scher's Liberal Oasis radio show tomorrow. It airs at 10 AM ET on WHMP in Western MA, and will be podcast at LiberalOasis.com. We're going to be talking about John McCain's travails this week, which have provided no end of amusement. He's backtracking on a couple major stories so you know he senses trouble. He's returned $50,000 in contributions from the shady bundler Harry Sargeant, and he's called for an investigation into DHL's plans to eliminate 8,300 jobs in Wilmington, Ohio (after aiding the merger that led to the proposed job cuts).

My hope is that the Obama campaign doesn't care about these backtracks, particularly on Wilmington. It's very clear that Republican crony capitalism threatens American jobs, and that McCain's campaign manager got rich off empowering multinational corporations to leave American workers in the cold. That's still operative no matter what investigation is now demanded.
