Voters.. We have an exercise in comparisons here. Barack Obama : Born in 1961 Raised by a single mother Father was Kenyan Stepfather was Indonesian, and a Muslim Admitted to using marijuana Admitted to using cocaine Married once to Michelle Robinson Has two daughters John McCain : Born in 1936 Raised by parents John McCain Sr, US Navy Admiral and mother Roberta Wright-McCain Father was US Navy Admiral First wife was model Carol Shepp Fought in Vietnam conflict, and was captured Spent 5 years as a prisoner of war (POW) Divorced first wife and married heiress Cindy Lou Hensley Has two adoptive sons Douglas and Andrew and one daughter Sidney from his first wife Carol From wikipedia: Shepp met McCain again when he was stationed at the Naval Air Basic Training Command at Pensacola, Florida in 1964, and they began dating.

After I read this: http://www.salon.com/books/excerpt/2008/06/06/rove_katrina/print.html The image of Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush et al swinging from the gallows of the Hague filled me with a moments catharsis. The cruel thought of drinking the hot tears of the twins and Laura as they watched involuntarily evacuated shit and piss drip off the shoe-less foot of their dead father and husband entered my mind. That ended the reverie for me. We are animals. Sick, twisted monkeys, all of us. But a life in jail.. I think that would be fair. I hope Khalid Sheik Mohammed is spared the death penalty. I really do. Unlike Bush, he is enough of a pragmatist to know that his death would be a great symbolic victory for the cause of Islamic extremism. Bush may have been near death many times; driving drunk, snorting who knows what chemicals, screaming through the air at MACH 2. But Bush avoided fighting in the service of his country, and continued to shirk real responsibility all the way to the top, ...

May 13th, 2008 | WASHINGTON -- John Hagee, an influential televangelist who endorsed John McCain, is apologizing to Catholics for referring to the Roman Catholic Church as "the great whore" and calling it "the apostate church." [Source - Associated Press] Good start. Now apologize for blaming Katrina on homosexuality and 9/11 on secularism, you worthless son of a bitch scumbag. If there is a hell, you will definitely be in it in the afterlife, you utter cunt.

What does it say about America when the best drama on TV is science fiction? We have given ourselves over to parable and burlesque in our entertainment. But it begs the question, "why do we need to entertain ourselves?" I think the metaphor of "holding a mirror up to reality" is good. But I think that entertainment also serves the proverbial "soul" the same way religion does. So, no wonder religion fights as hard against other religions as it does against art, the non-movement movement. Well, I take that back. Movements in art are motivating, just like religion. But religion leans toward more organized, authoritarian movements, and art has always been religion's free-form cousin. Just as "a DJ saved my life", art saved the life of Michaelangelo, surely a homosexual living on the cusp of the darkest of ages in Italy, supported by a closeted Vatican and moneyed aristocrats and merchants. Then, also, draw the parallels between the art and music ...

Two things. About a week ago Senator Obama said a few things that seemed to denigrate the working, White-ethnic poor. I watched the Republican campaign of Senator McCain and the Republican-light campaign of Senator Clinton react negatively to those comments, and in typical form the Obama response was swift and concise. What I didn't expect was this piece: http://www.salon.com/opinion/walsh/election_2008/2008/04/11/pavoters/index.html Joan Walsh is the editor-in-chief of the transparently pro-Clinton Salon.com online news magazine. In it, she goes on to say this about the recent Obama-working-poor "gaffe": Barack Obama does have an affluent, educated, Ivy League sense of self-righteousness and entitlement that my Irish Catholic working-class side occasionally chafes at. So does Michelle Obama. So does Jeffrey Toobin. So do some of our Obama supporting readers. So sue me. And I was prepared to try to explain the mounting irritation about Obama's remarks. But ... then I ...
