Media- against McCain and cohort Bible spice. A recent  AP story regarding the debate bashes McCain about his "that one" comment and his aggressive posture before gettingt ot the fact check 1/3 of the way down. No such thing as news anymore.

One of the things that American politics seems to be missing since Ronald Reagan is the idea of a statesman. Someone with forward vision about the appropriate role of government in society and the role of the United States in the world. In this election, Senator Obama talks like a statesman, but I can't tell if he is umming and uhhing his way to a politically comprimised position or if he really believes what he is saying. Senator McCain looks the part of a statesman, but doesn't seem to articulate any big picture concepts about the future.

This appears to be another step in extending Russian influence from Georgia to Eastern Europe to Central America? Should we be concerned about the Venezaulan-Russian connection? We should prrobably more concerned with the Iranian-Russian connection (nuclear reactor my ass). 

With the Clinton speech about 4 more years of the last 8 years and the "hits" mentioned by Respectfulguest about Obama, it occurred to me that I see no comparison to the "hits" on foreign policy and the economy taken by President Bush.

"Above my pay-grade", Clinton-centric convention and soon-to-be-announced Donkey veepstakes winner just Senator Obama being consistently flaky? 

In the first turn it's New York Ghoully trailing Hillarosa followed by Huckster, Romormino, Chosen One, Old Yeller and Dark Horse 200-1 odds 

Rounding the second Ghoully is Down!, Chosen One takes the lead Huckster, Hillarosa neck and neck, then Old Yeller, Romormino and Dark Horse.

Turn three Chosen One neck and neck with Hillarosa, Old Yeller gaining, Huckster &Romormino fall by the wayside, Darkhorse never in the race. Now  a 3 horse contest.

Down the home stretch it's ...Don't you just love a good contest.

Good editorial

While I have enjoyed Brett Favre play over the years, I was satisfied with his career and retirement announcement early this year. Apparently, he hadn't had enough football and wanted to return as the Green Bay Packers quarterback for a 17th season. The Packers organization had made other plans and moved on. Just in case you hadn't heard the background on this real-life soap opera for football fans.

Actor turned commentator seems to think an Obama Presidency would dramatically change the way of life as we know it. What I find most disturbing is the accusatory tone regarding younger people (Obama supporters). In that, how could it be so easy to sway people to accept a Socialist-leaning agenda? Is it a failure of our education system? Is it the same reason people call Ron Paul's Constitutional message "nuts?

Long read, but very good.

I have read several articles on the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his genocidal rants against the Zionest infidels and history of Persia and Islam. However, the author of this link does a superb job of bringing the Persian past, theological Sharia Law and current ramblings of Mahmoud into perspective.
