Political Primer 4: McCain

I wish I had more to say about McCain than I have found. But judging by his website, if you thought the last seven years have been dandy, he’s your man.

On most fronts McCain and the Democrats are pretty similar; Education needs work and our economy is going down the tubes. He has the same problems with Jurisdiction that they do, too. Lots of promises about spending and bills that aren’t within his power to create. Well, actually, they are currently within his power to create, since he’s a Senator, but he’ll lose that authority if he becomes President. The big difference between McCain and the Democratic candidates is in Iraq.

McCain is still chasing the boogeyman that attacked the U.S. in 2001. Pity, like our current President, he’s looking in the wrong country.

The war in Iraq is at a crossroads and the future of the entire region is at stake - a region that produced the terrorists who attacked America on 9/11 and where much of the world’s energy supplies are located.

I really hate it when people live up to stereotypes, and here is a Republican fearmonger saying we need to kill some more brown people to make sure we have oil. Damn.

I’ve never been to the Middle East, but I’d like to at some point. It would be interesting to see a region that so many people have killed for over the last 5000 years. The place has to be spectacular, though it doesn’t look it from any pictures I’ve ever seen. Now, Hawaii I can see killing some people over.

Tune in next time when we take a look at some of the hot items coming up in politics. And sometime soon we’ll resume our irregularly scheduled programming.

A Love Story

Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.

When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna’s heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, “Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you’re being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound-mindedness.”

“The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he’s dead.”

Edna replied, “He didn’t hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?”
