Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Bob Barr spoke with Fox’s Neil Cavuto late Monday in the wake of the House of Representatives’ defeat of the bailout bill. Barr notes, correctly, that the fight against the bailout is far from over and talks about alternative measures to help restore confidence in the financial system:

Contrary to what Sarah Palin intimated to Katie Couric, she as Governor of Alaska is not alerted when Russian planes stray into American airspace. http://www.nydailynews.com/new…
The Alaska governor has no command authority over the guardians of U.S. airspace despite her recent suggestion otherwise.“She doesn’t have any role in that process,” Air Force Maj. Allen Herritage, spokesman for the Alaska North American Aerospace Defense Command, told the Daily News.
“The authority to launch and respond to a Russian incursion lies with the Alaska NORAD Region commander” - Air Force Lt. Gen. Dana Atkins, he said.
Palin said last week that her foreign policy experience includes facing the Russians.
“It’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia, as Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America - where do they go? It’s Alaska,” Palin told CBS’ Katie Couric.
“It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation,” she said.
Moscow’s bombers have skirted Alaskan airspace 20 times, though they have not violated it, during Palin’s governorship, officials said.
When F-15 and F-22 interceptors scrambled from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage in response, John McCain’s running mate was not speed-dialed with the news.
“The commander does not call the governor,” Herritage said.
On the other hand, John McCain’s foreign policy adviser told the Daily News that Palin is informed of the fly-bys by her National Guard commander, and she gets an annual briefing from the Air Force every February.

Well, I wanted to resume our Quote of the Day segment here at CCC. Barack Obama is the connoisseur of hilarious comments, so here is a zinger from our good friends at the Politico.

Truthfully, I am sick and tired of hearing about the $700 billion dollar bailout that members of the House of Representatives voted against yesterday. The bailout was flawed in so many ways, and it would have taken tons of money out of taxpayers’ pockets. So, you may ask what would be the solution.
Let the free [...]

Look, clearly I cannot dispute what any of you are saying about the bad interviews, because they WERE bad; otherwise I would not be proffering advice to change course completely.
