After watching the mob mentality that has gotten so ugly from the Palin/McCain campaign (make no mistake about the order of the names), I really think that our only hope is that the Rapture myth is true. 

For the uninitiated, the "Rapture" is when all believers get to fly up to heaven at once, leaving everyone else behind.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture.  This is supposed to be a gleeful way to leave the rest of us crashing in planes, and having head-on car collisions, as the "faithful" get called up.

Personally, I think the whole world will be a whole lot better off if this mythical event somehow takes place -- sooner rather than later.

Can anyone imagine how it will be to have a government -- even a world -- that is influenced by science and observation rather than myth?  A government that sees the common good as something other than a commie plot; that sees science as suspect; universal health care as evil?  

Please!  Bring on the Rapture!  Set the world free from your bullshit!  And enjoy your special place in ---wherever you are going --with your equally dense pals who blow themselves and innocents up in the name of their very own raptures.

So Sarah Palin thinks that it is time that the American people got to know Barack Obama?  That is her tag-line/excuse for starting up the William Ayers controversy.

How about letting the American people get to know Sarah Palin?   Where she stands, how she got where she is, what she thinks personally.  Katie Couric tried, but it just "annoyed" the dainty Sarah.  But that same dainty miss can get down into the dirt and throw out barbs and accusations without ever having to defend them.  Why?  Because she is sequestered, and the MS  lets her get away with this drive-by crapola.  No one has had the temerity to ask her ONE single word about TrooperGate!  How absurd is that?

She talked about ol' Joe goin' back into the past, but she goes back to the 60's with Ayers, and McCain loves to go back 40 years to when he was a POW.  TrooperGate is NOW.  Why are there no questions?  Why is she protected by the media as they continue to give her air time?

This is the same person who said it isn't patriotic to pay taxes a day before her tax returns show that she cheated on her own taxes by not claiming her per diem (that paid her for staying in her own house rather than the governor's mansion - which presumably still had to pay for heat and electricity and maintenance whether she was there or not).

The same person who won't answer questions about her own scandals back "up there" in Alaska.

The same person who won't hold a press conference, or answer legitimate questions about who the hell SHE is...

What is wrong with the Corporate Media?  Can they not even PRETEND to be fair?  This drive-by accuser should be ignored until she faces the public herself.  Not one inch of footage should be aired until she acts like a legitimate nominee.

Can we start a petition?  I don't know how to do it, but it seems like it is needed, since she gets to spew her stuff without any accountability.  I am so sick of it!

Any ideas?
