Democrat Party’s “spending addiction.” Following Friday’s S&P
rating downgrade, the stock market responded accordingly with a drop of

Standard & Poor’s downgrades mortgage giants Freddie Mac and
Fannie... Read More. More News.

FROM
THE
EDITOR - TODAY IS TUESDAY, AUGUST 9,
2011 |
I’ve
been working on CNO coverage of Annie Oakley Days… a story and more
than 300 photos of the activities and events were scheduled for today.
Events several hundred miles east of us bumped it. More important? No.
But it was breaking and there was no time to do both. Look for CNO’s
“Covering Annie Oakley Days like a Blanket” on Wednesday. Also in News:
Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls; Stocks take a beating, bleeding not
over; and Wendy’s bringing HQ back, adding 50 jobs. Blogs: We The
Stupid; It’s Only Money; and Fiscal hawks beat war hawks. Obituaries:
