This Campaign Season Has Just Jumped the Shark


Sorry, I just can't suspend disbelief this long. This might constitute evidence for God (!) or more likely, Loki and his coyote pal. The rich-white-party candidate, who pegs wealth as starting after 5 million bucks, and who has been charging elitism and unfair advantages attach to his half-African opponent, can't pin down how many houses he owns?

The guy who commutes by Gulfstream, slouching in his Ferragamos, tends to forget, all those nice views blur together. He sits on the patio w/martini while Cindy wheels and deals, or maybe just shops. So maybe they're all the same house.

I'm guessing he really only didn't want to be definite, both because he could get it wrong by differing definitions, or he wanted to just avoid the discussion totally. Vain hope, and with good reason. The vast majority of Americans barely afford one house.

So it will be as fair as McCain has been, and rather more so, to tie this huge, smelly albatross tightly around McCain's neck. "Homes of the Rich and Ambitious Guy."
