As much as I love the way Obama is hammering away at McCain right now, I'm a little disappointed it's over the number of houses he (his wife) owns.  Oh, and I know, it's a fair reflection on McCain's age/connection to the economy blah,blah,blah.  At least Obama is trying to tie his attack to some policy question (by however a tenuous thread).

Which got me to thinking of how many weeks (months?)have gone by since the media has reported any serious policy debate between the two candidates?  I can't even remember and I'm a hellofa lot younger than McCain.  But you say: 'Ahhhh...Chauncey, you cynical fool what about the Q&A last weekend (check and mate)'.  And I reply to you blathering titmice: the only things I heard on the news were Cone of Silence and $5,000,000.

If you want to see something really funny, turn on cable news and watch the talking heads try and figure out who Obama's running mate is.  It's almost like a Laurel and Hardy routine.  Nobody has a fucking clue.  Not the schmucks on TV, not me and certainly not you (unless I just embarassed myself, and Obama has just texted his pick).  I almost couldn't turn it off...almost.

On an unrelated issue, I think Glenn Greenwald at Salon has his finger on something as to why the right wing ass-faces don't like McCain, he makes them look like absolute fools to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

The delicious hint is in the link...so scandalous it is!

I apologize for my brusqueness, the semester just started.
