Norm - It's so funny - I read the article on reading and thought - yes - right, I'm going to start reading more books and cut way back on online time. And, then the next link you have is about solar windows which is just so great and then I think, what else is out there online and I'm right back where I started :)

"I want to get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus. I want to feel his salvation all over my face."

Crude but I can't stop laughing at those amazing lyrics.

If Obama's status as "natural born" was dodgy, you can bet your money that the media and the republicans would be all over it and never let go. I have no doubt the GOP would even use it to steal the election, if necessary.

@Jillbryant: Norm, Doing everything he can to help kill reading books with great links online :P

"I'm gonna get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus. Wanna feel his his salvation all over my face." - Possibly the funniest lyrics I've heard in a long time!

Beat me to it, Git... funniest Trey music I've heard in a long time (which is saying something).

Yes, a great episode of South Park. Trey and Matt are the best social and political satirists currently working - incredibly smart, even-handed, and willing to laugh at their own beliefs.

As for McCain/Obama: new polls show them in a dead heat. Things are looking up!

And seriously - 'stealing' elections? That's so 2000. Gotta roll with the new wacko conspiracy theories.

Really? The same old ignorance & denial routine still seems to be working for you.

BTW - Amazing list of McCain's flip flops. Thanks for providing that. Shows you would really need to be a complete sucker to Republican marketing to fall for him.

Speaking of Republican marketing, I got an email today from townhall.org (nothing like neocon positioning to try and sound so American). Hugh Hewitt is sending around a letter to the young Obama voter to let them know how Obama is going to screw up our economy and foreign policy. Their world is completely bizarro.

In addition to flip flops, McCain also suffers from a delusion...

Asked what first comes to his mind when he thinks of Pittsburgh, McCain chuckled, "the Steelers. I was a mediocre high school athlete but I loved and adored the sports but the Steelers really made a huge impression on me particularly in my early years."

And then McCain told a rather moving story about his time as a P.O.W. "When I was first interrogated and really had to give some information because of the pressures, physical pressures on me, I named the starting lineup, defensive line of the Pittsburgh Steelers as my squadron mates."

...

"Could you do it today?" asked the reporter.

"No, unfortunately," McCain said.

Here's one reason he likely couldn't do it today -- the Steelers aren't the team whose defensive line McCain named for his Vietnamese tormentors. The Green Bay Packers are. At least according to every previous time McCain has told this story. And the McCain campaign just told ABC News that the senator made a mistake -- it was, indeed, the Packers.

Yeah JoAnn, McCain is either a lier, or this can easily be blamed on him just being one old mother fucker...Most likely it's a little bit of both though. ;)

Speaking of the Packers, can you believe Favre is coming back!? Maybe old man McCain inspired Brett to give it another shot ;-)

Favre? My poor brain becomes mush upon enjoying the sight of this beautiful male speciman
