I'm bbbbbaaaaaaack!

I am ABSOLUTELY furious to watch the deterioration of the McCain campaign into stupidity. And the worst of it is that using Paris Hilton, attacks on patriotism and the not so subtle references to "he's not our kind" innuendos are working! My hope is that the pollsters aren't really asking cross sections of voters that are intelligently too busy and not answering pollsters. I'm finding myself wanting to "get down on their level" to question in more detail how McCain's "readiness to be commander in chief" includes the poor judgement to be acting against his very own principles of straight talk to use the doubletalk, garbagespeak and deception of Karl Rove.

Hooray for Jon Stewart's commentary about the sabre rattling, the lies, and the war in Georgia--"War," he defined, "is God's way of forcing Americans to learn geography!" And Bill Maher seems right on target to ask, "what's wrong with a country whose leadership says it's ok to torture but not to smoke marijuana!!!"
