Joe the businessman

Wait a minute! If you make $250 grand a year in personal income, does that make you a plumber or a businessman? That being said, I am still in favor of a proportional tax for everyone with functioning organs and limbs.

I think the whole thing has been blown out of proportion and McCain is deliberately misrepresenting Obama's plan. Joe the Plumber doesn't make $250K in personal income, they were saying on the radio that the market rates for his area is about $50K. If he has a business, he wouldn't be taxed on the gross, just on his own personal net income. And that's what McCain is trying to downplay, he's trying to suggest that Obama wants to raise taxes on the middle class. And seriously, anyone who thinks that someone who makes $250K a year is middle class is out of touch with reality.

Yes, politicians on the campaign trail bicker a lot. I mean today, there is "news" about Sarah Palin charging the state (Alaska) for personal travel. That may or may not be true but the point is there are so many politicians, who, in the course of a day during non-election times, use tax payer money for purposes related to furthering their own political ambition. Maybe campaign consultants and politicians feel that they are somehow immune to negative opinion during election time and so continue to behave "cheaply"...

Is it better to work out in the morning or the evening?

If you do a web search on this topic, you will get all kinds of studies pointing out why training at one time or another in the day is best ...
