The Washington Monthly:
"McCain was asked a while back about what he'd look for in a running mate. He said the 'key' is to find the person 'most prepared to take my place' in the event of a crisis. McCain spent the ensuing months with a motto: 'Country first.'"

Linda Bergthold: The VP Choice that Lost the Presidency for McCain:
"How will this cynicism play with American voters? It is insulting to women to suggest that just 'any' woman will do!"

Joseph Biden (D-DE) | TheMiddleClass.org
Biden is on the right side of most of the economic issues that make a difference to us working folks...
the estate tax bill and the bankruptcy bill were bad.
the bankruptcy bill was poison even.
still I can forgive a misstep or two...
interested in learning more about Biden,
but hopeful...

DC Animated Universe
DC Animated Universe: "Welcome to the DC Animated Universe Wiki"
this is awesome.
the animated DC Universe is my favorite DC Universe
and since it has never crossed over into the regular universe,
it must exist in a second multi-verse - making it immune from "crises" (is that the plural?) which can only be a good thing...

What She Said!: The wife John McCain callously left behind
What She Said!: The wife John McCain callously left behind
She says she isn't bitter, but then he pays her medical bills. What a creep. People who knew the couple refer to him as a phoney with no character. Ross Perot, who paid Carol's medical bills while John was a prisoner of war, calls him the classic opportunist:
‘McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory,’ [Perot] said.
‘After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.’

"The Ministry of Culture in the new Communist Poland decided to exhume Witkiewicz's body in the post-war period and move it to Shakopane, and give him a ceremonial burial with honors. It was performed according to plan, though nobody was allowed to open the coffin delivered by the Soviet authorities.
Much later, a genetic study proved that the body belonged to an unknown Ukrainian woman — a final absurdist joke 50 years after the publication of the writer's last novel."

been thinking...
maybe i could make friends with an old Republican...
one who remembers when their party stood for more than some kinda imperial cronyism...
but anyone my age or younger...
wow.
Reagan was President from the time I was 10 till the time I was 18. The 80's were Reagan and A.I.D.S. so yeah, I get upset when I see cute young girls dressed like Pat Benatar...
but I digress...
The Republican Party has been bankrupt and soulless almost as long as it has been in power. The Reagan revolution may have had some genuine ideas and thought behind it (I'm guessing it didn't have much, but after GW I'm even willing to give G Sr. the a little benefit of a lot of doubt) but since then there has been little thought to the real effects of their policies. They might as well be Maoists promoting the great leap forward as their people starve. The policies they have pushed forward since I was ten have simply proven not to work - not to increase the greater good. Am I some kinda lefty? yeah, but I am also a pragmatist. If their shit didn't stink, I wouldn't hold my nose just for show... If their positions played out so that things got better they'd have my support. It is just not the way things are.
eh, I'm a little drunk, and a lot grumpy...
time to go to bed and try not to grit my teeth...
but just a quick reminder,
one of McCain's top advisers is a former lobbyist for Georgia.
No matter how they try to spin it...
this is not a good thing...

International Socialism: More than opium: Marxism and religion
International Socialism: More than opium: Marxism and religion: "The only sense in which Marxists contemplate the elimination of religion is through its gradual withering away as a result of the disappearance of its underlying social causes—alienation, exploitation, oppression, etc. Marxist socialists are, however, opposed to any state privileges for religion and call for the disestablishment of any or all official state churches (such as the Church of England)."
Great article on marxist/materialist ideas on religion and religious tolerance.

Joint Recon Study Group: Ancient crashed UFO claimed to be from dinosaur age, 150 million years ago
Joint Recon Study Group: Ancient crashed UFO claimed to be from dinosaur age, 150 million years ago:
"The sources also reportedly told Martinez, “The object was believed to be an alien spacecraft that had crashed approximately 200 million years ago according to the archaeological team. The site subsequently was examined by a USAF recovery team, which then put the age of the alien craft at approximately 150 million years ago.”"
see? it weren't Jesus that planted the dinosaur bones so that we might be fooled... it were aliens.
actually I'm a big fan of all that chariots of the gods nonsense...
I mean if yr gonna believe something crazy, make it really crazy I say...
