Ah the Friday news dump. They may suck at campaigning, they will certainly suck at governing if elected, but the McCain campaign has got the whole "news cycle management" thing down. The day after the most watched VP debate ever, about an hour after Bush signs the $700,000,000,000 Wall Street Bailout into law, here you go, here are those tax returns you have all been clamoring for!
Here's a link, sorry it goes to the McCain campaign website, so hold your nose and dive in...

So they only released the 2006 & 2007 returns for Sarah and Todd. I didn't go over it thoroughly but some amusing things:
* On their checks Sarah's name is on top of the First Dude's.
In 2006 they donated a crib to the Salvation Army. If only they had foreseen the birth of Trig they probably would have held onto it a bit longer. Damn, another trip to Walmart! And now another baby coming up for Bristol. Damn!
I have prepared a lot of tax returns in the New York area so I never have seen these two Schedule C businesses before:
Business: Fishing; Product or service: Fish
Business: Racing; Product or service: Snow Machine Racing [Is there really any other kind]
All right, I'm just going to publish, I encourage folks to comment with things they find interesting on the returns. Clearly there's something incriminating there, based on the timing of the release...
