Here's an excellent and simple graph comparing the differences between Obama's and McCain's tax proposals. Kevin Drum comments:
Bottom line: If you're really rich and think that George Bush's tax cuts for the rich didn't go nearly far enough, John McCain is your man.

A WSJ interview with David Foster Wallace on the occasion of the publication of McCain's Promise, a repackaged version of an excellent article he wrote in 2000 about following McCain's campaign for two weeks. He gets into the current election a little as well:
The truth—as I see it—is that the previous seven years and four months of the Bush Administration have been such an unmitigated horror show of rapacity, hubris, incompetence, mendacity, corruption, cynicism and contempt for the electorate that it's very difficult to imagine how a self-identified Republican could try to position himself as a populist.

A guy named Mike Russell has adapted a small part of David Foster Wallace's essay "Up, Simba" as a comic strip The original essay is about Wallace spending a week on John McCain's "Straight Talk Express" bus tour in 2000. It'd be cool to see more of this kind of adaptation from Russell, even if Wallace's verbiage and syntax loses a dimension in this medium. (thx, bill s.) (4) #
