158. Sorry, I don't understand why a couple of these issues matter...
"DID YOU KNOW? The McCains have been known to charge hundreds of thousands of dollars IN A SINGLE MONTH on their credit cards."
What is wrong with putting money on your credit cards? It could actually be smart (if you have an incentive plan) or at least convenient if you pay them off in full every month...


"DID YOU KNOW? John McCain regularly plays craps for "a few thousand dollars at a time." He loves to gamble and is extremely superstitious."
And this is bad because...? How often does he do this? Daily? Once a year on vacation? At his level of wealth spending a few thousand on craps is probably the same thing as me spending $10 on scratch off tickets, which I do once or twice a year (and is just as foolish, true). At least he's not moralistic finger-wagger like Book of Virtues author/high stakes gambler William J. Bennett...


I like the rest, though, and agree that the sort order of "juicy" to brass tacks is better...
