Sweepstakes!

John McCain seems never to tire of insulting Americans' intelligence.

He's now proposing a $300 million prize ($1 for every human being in the country - cute until you realize it's taxpayer money) for whomever can develop an automobile battery that far surpasses existing technology - and at 30% of current costs.

Are we so cynical that we need to bribe Americans for their ingenuity? Or, more likely, does McCain think we don't see what a naked pander this is?

What's next? Join the military and get the chance to win a Buick?

Ah Geez. Well, at least he's giving us a big old preview of exactly what we could expect from him in a Presidency. Is it really possible to be a bigger idiot than George W?

The Republicans have a habit of nominating senile idiots.

And unfortunately, America has a habit of electing them. Time to quit cold turkey.
