lol, remember the crap that hit the fan on a college campus when they were selling cookies with the price based upon race? Here's a fact the liberal media won't report, fortunately Fox isn't biased and gives us the whole story... foxbusiness.com The $14.8 billion [Exxon] earned during the third-quarter broke the Irving, Texas-based company’s own record last quarter of $11.7 billion. But record earnings translated to record taxes. ExxonMobil, which operates within a 43.3% tax rate, paid $11.3 billion in income taxes, $9.3 billion in sales taxes and $11.85 billion in other taxes. That comes to $32.51 billion in taxes during the current quarter.

McCain Camp Buses In School Kids To Fill Crowd huffingtonpost.com "...But that rally featured another embarrassing moment, one that illustrates a far more troubling dynamic for the Republican ticket. The McCain campaign actually had to bus in school kids from the surrounding area in order to fill the event. As reported by MSNBC: A local school district official confirmed after the event that of the 6,000 people estimated by the fire marshal to be in attendance this morning, more than 4,000 were bused in from schools in the area. The entire 2,500-student Defiance School District was in attendance, the official said, in addition to at least three other schools from neighboring districts, one of which sent 14 buses. This happened -- as if a reminder were needed -- less than a week out from the election, when the heat of the campaign should be drawing record crowds.
