This is not the first time I’ve written about the Keating Five scandal.  [earlier article]

Please visit a brand new site about Charles Keating, a bailout of banks by U.S. taxpayers, U.S. Senators and Congressional Ethics Charges, oh, and John McMcain at the Center.

The current economic crisis demands that we understand John McCain’s attitudes about economic oversight and corporate influence in federal regulation. Nothing illustrates the danger of his approach more clearly than his central role in the savings and loan scandal of the late ’80s and early ’90s.

Is the GOP afraid of Ohio voters with foreclosures?

The DNC and the Obama Campaign have now filed suit in Michigan. Is an Ohio lawsuit next?

Although federal law ensures that most still will be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4, Ohio voters with outdated addresses risk pre-election challenges and trips from polling place to polling place. They’re also more likely to cast provisional ballots that might not be counted.

Facebook slams MySpace as the best Social Network on the Web.  Recently, I joined both social networks to see which one helped me most to connect with my old pals.

Facebook offers:

• Better User Experience: Easy to use with limited ads (reflective of my tastes & interests)
• Superior Search Query:  Easier to find old classmates from High School & College
• Fun Activities: Play trivia games with friends (Movies & TV)
• Organizations & Campaigns: Join & learn about various movements (Political, Religious & Civic)

Facebook is #1 in my book. Come join me and sit on my Facebook.

Do you agree? Debate me, just don’t hate me.

“Aim for Fun”

What a cool web site and such an interesting concept.  These folks must be in advertising, well maybe not (otherwise I would have been inundated with ads).

They have locked me in and I will probably be going to their web site every day for a few seconds worth of cute & simple humor.

Whether you care for John McCain or not, johnmccainisnotyournewbicycle.com is a great example of what you can do with a neat idea, domain name, and a quick little web site.

No outside organization has thrown a roundhouse punch this election season like the one Swift Boat Veterans for Truth delivered four years ago. But they’re quietly mobilizing, using small staffs and new technologies to stoke the public’s attention.

“Aim for Truth” 

After reading this article and a few other on the “Keating Five Scandal,” it is my hope some reputable news organization does further digging into what exactly happened with Lincoln Savings & Loans, how much did it really cost the American people, and most importantly in this election year, what was McCain’s true role.

“Amid McCain’s new status, old scandals stir“–The Boston Globe

WASHINGTON – As William K. Black watches John McCain move toward the Republican presidential nomination, he thinks of a day 21 years ago that he considers one of the most troubling of his life.
