I'm curious to see what the interest rate will be...

PrairiePundit (Free subscription) | 23/10/2009
Kimberley Strassel: ... What makes these efforts notable is that they are not the lashing out of a frustrated political operation. They are calculated campaigns, designed to create bogeymen, to divide the opposition, to frighten players into compliance.
