pay your dues

Read an article this morning that I thought I'd get opinions on.

Rural Tennessee fire sparks debate

Personally while I feel bad for the guy I think he made an informed decision not to pay the dues. Sucks, I'd be really ticked... and I'm not sure why he couldn't foot the whole bill (probably a lot more then the dues would have been) but it is what it is.

What do you think?

spinning around

I wonder how this will be spun... considering this was supposed to be the debate McCain "won" how can his asking to delay it be looked at as him being chicken. Then again, how can Obama insisting on doing it anyway be spun to make him look like the better person... it will be interesting to see.
