McCain Mutiny

user-pic

Did anyone else notice how much John McCain, who promises a steady hand on the tiller, looked at times like Captain Queeg last night, attacking Obama for his "associations" the way Queeg went on about strawberries? It was sad, really.

I have observed the Captain Queeg similarities for quite some time, now.

"Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers..."

"This is the captain speaking. Some misguided sailors on this ship still think they can pull a fast one on me. Well, they're very much mistaken. Since you've taken this course, the innocent will be punished with the guilty. There will be no liberty for any member of this crew for three months. I will not be made a fool of! Do you hear me? "

Perfect! You're making me snicker at my office desk - my colleagues are thinking I'm a little Queegish.

This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job,children health indeed.

McCain as Queeg last night:

Ahh, but "the strawberries" that's... that's where I had them.

(For full dramatic effect, you have to imagine McCain making the little 'air quotes' while saying the line.)

Bullseye.

Gotta love that 'ring of truth' factor that resonates so sweetly.

Was it Patton who said "Americans will not tolerate a cripple"?

Or was that George C. Scott?

I believe that was Gen. "Buck" Turjidson talking about Dr. Strangelove, in the "War" Room...

You're stepping on my troll line.

What?

The new avatar wasn't ready for prime time?

Nope. I was able to finally locate my original avatar in the obscure folder where it was hiding. After they 'upgraded' their web app my profile was emptied out.

After last night’s debate (with apologies to Budd Schulberg’s On the Waterfront):

Act III, Scene 6 - PLACING THE BLAME

Int. Hofstra University Debate Hall – Night

Deserted. Bob Scheiffer is gone. The people and media types are gone.
Barack and Michelle are gone. Cindy McCain is gone. In a darkened dressing
room, only George Bush and John McCain remain. Tension and the threat of
violence in the air.

Bush
Look, kid, er, old man, I - how much you weigh, John?
When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds
you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn,
and that skunk you got for a campaign manager, he brought
you along too fast.

McCain
It wasn't him, George, it was you. Remember that night
in the Senate you came down to my dressing room and you
said, "Kid, er, old man, this ain't your night. The country’s
going for the price on Obama." You remember that? "This
ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Obama apart!
So what happens? He gets the title shot on January 20th
outdoors in D.C. and what do I get? A one-way ticket
to Palooka-ville! You was my President, George, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just
a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.

Bush
Oh I had some bets down for you. You married that beer
heiress. You saw some money.

McCain
You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a
contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which
is what I am, let's face it. It was you, George.

I think it is time to revisit this Daily Show documentary on John McCain: Reformed Maverick.

I think this pretty much nails it.

Electric utility stocks and their dividend feature is great for retirement plans and a conservative way to play the recovery of the economy in a regular investment account.
