At the heart of the scandal was Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which took advantage of deregulation in the 1980s to make risky investments with its depositors' money. McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings and loan industry -- actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible cost to taxpayers.

Hmm... I dunno if this is an insult or a compliment.
Kevin, I think you, Paul, and I should have a conference call to discuss it.
It could take all night.

It's a compliment, guys. It's very rare that a blog can pull off widely disparate topics without completely losing its identity. You guys manage to do it very well, and I read Wizbang at least a couple times a day.

Jon, I was kidding. I was playing off your "all-night conversations" bit. I took it as the compliment you intended.

I actually bookmarked a four of the "liberal" blogs to read regularly. DU, Atrios and Kos isn't for me, and neither is Free Republic. Nice to see that there's more than hot air blowing through the "leftist" and "rightist" blogs. On occasion.

Right after FASTEST CLIMBER OF ROPE IN GYM.
P.S.: To anyone who ~may have missed the fevered issue to which I refer here~, I am carrying on as to Blog Category ideas from Kevin A.'s earlier thread about the 2005 Weblog Awards.
