If... Which candidate will keep his head? by William Kristol 09/29/2008, Volume 014, Issue 03 "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs .??.??. ," then you could be the next president. When John McCain was young, English teachers everywhere were seeing to it that their charges memorized Rudyard Kipling's "If." McCain seems to have taken the poem to heart--especially over the last couple of years. McCain kept his head and refused to throw in the towel in Iraq at the end of 2006. He kept his head and defended the surge when other Republicans were going wobbly early in 2007. He kept his head and pushed forward with his campaign when it was being written off in the summer of 2007. He kept his head and made key changes when his campaign seemed to be floundering a few months ago. And he kept his head and took advantage of the opening Barack Obama provided by not picking Hillary Clinton when he made the bold selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate. This past week, though, McCain seemed to lose his head in reaction to the admittedly head-spinning financial news. First he said the economic fundamentals were strong; then he emphasized that it was a really bad crisis. First he sounded calm and deliberate; then he called, without really explaining why, for the firing of SEC chairman Christopher Cox. First he said we shouldn't bail out AIG; then he said it was reasonable to bail out AIG. First he emphasized that this was a time for bipartisanship; then he unleashed attacks www.weeklystandard.com

The site "www.savetube.com" works very well for saving Youtube videos. You just paste the Youtube link into the window they provide, click "GO", and click the big green download button after it appears. You will then be asked where to save the file on your computer and with what name. All youtube downloads should be given an "flv" extension. savetube.com Strangely, you may have difficulty running the FLV file outside internet explorer. If so, you will need an FLV viewer to do so. "www.tucows.com" is a good site to find software. tucows.com If you wish to save videos and burn them to disk to give to others, I recommend converting "flv" files into the "wmv" format (Windows Media Video) since this will be playable by anyone running Windows without the addition of any other software. I'm using "AVS Video Converter 6" for this, but it wasn't free. I am still evaluating different free viewers and free converters in the effort to find the best programs available that are free of charge. Hope this helps. * * *
