The Mrs., says "Who is this no name thing that McPain chose, he has lost his fucking 72 year old mind?"
This has been the typical response from every woman I have met today ... some had even more colorful terms to express their displeasure at the choice.
Looks like the 'strategy' has backfired.

Buchanan loved it.
Of all the hoopla and bruhaha and so forth that has surrounded this election so far and will continue to surround it the fact that one of the right-wing's staunchest and outspoken members Pat Buchanan had to be cut off due to time while he gushed and lauded Obama's speech last night should be telling.
If it doesn't send a loud and clear signal through the thick skulls of the wing-nuts and assorted whackos on the far right ... something is very off in the universe.

The Times they are A'Changin' ... To quote Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan.

Just in case you missed it ...
In a clear cut attempt to sway women voters McPain picks Palin for vice president.
Sarah Palin, the first term governor of Alaska is the first woman to be named to the repugican ticket.
A move that will lose McPain the evangelical whackos and not sway enough women to vote for him to cover the losses ... thereby conceding the election before it starts.
Palin, in typical and what appears to be standard repugican procedure won her seat by clamoring on about corruption, ethics and criminal acts of those in office and how she was above such ... well, guess, who is under investigation for just such.
Of course McPain would pick someone under investigation - he had too, there is not a repugican not under investigation for some type of turpitude that I can think of.

History repeat?
With a new storm threatening to cause chaos in New Orleans all over again, a horse-drawn carriage brought the last seven unclaimed bodies of Hurricane Katrina victims for entombment at a memorial site on Friday during ceremonies marking the disaster's third anniversary.
The ceremonies were tinged with a recognition of how much the city has rebuilt since Katrina's floods, as well as fear that another disaster could be looming.
"We look ahead to a better day, as we also prepare ourselves for another threat," Mayor Ray Nagin said as he helped guide a gleaming coffin into a mausoleum.
Tropical Storm Gustav was swirling near Jamaica, Friday after being blamed for 67 deaths in Hispaniola.
Forecasters said it could hit the Louisiana coast early next week as a major hurricane and city and state officials were preparing for possible weekend evacuations - the first in the state since Katrina hit in 2005.
You know the shrub has a fishing trip planned for next week, don't you.

Forever means exactly that
I am glad to see that a court has ruled that the word 'forever' means exactly that.
For those wondering what I mean by that ... there has been a big stink in Asheville, NC over a developer trying to build on land that was donated through a will over 100 years ago to the Public Trust with the stipulation that the land remain in the Public Trust as parkland 'forever'.
Yesterday a judge ruled that is exactly what it is to remain and the developer has given the hosing up the arse he has been trying to give the citizens of Asheville ... Karma works that way, you know.
While this saga of greed and unmitigated gall does not affect all of you directly - it actually does, because similar types of 'deals' are going on everyday in your little corner of the world as well ... many happening without anything known about them.
More alert and aware citizens are what these 'deal-makers' fear the most and with their free run for the last eight years coming to an abrupt end they are scrambling to squeeze even more out of us. But it is like trying to push back the ocean with a sponge - it won't work and you will get wet.

Right on cue
Damn, the wing-nuts have been up all night 'inventing' what Obama said in his speech for their mindless faithful drones.
Some of the stuff they are saying he said has to have been pulled straight from their asses and the rest from whatever planet they reside on, which isn't the one who actually listened to Obama give his speech last night.
Of course they are repeating the same old same old trying to get the mindless to believe it.
No need to repeat them here you all know what they are.
It is utterly amazing how ignorant the ignorant think the rest of us are.
Here are a few of the things Obama actually DID say in his speech to the nation and to the world last night ...
... the record's clear: John McCain has voted with George Bush 90 percent of the time.
Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but, really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush has been right more than 90 percent of the time?
I don't know about you, but I am not ready to take a 10 percent chance on change.
. . .
Now, I don't believe that senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans; I just think he doesn't know.
. . .
Washington has been talking about our oil addiction for the last 30 years. and, by the way, John McCain has been there for 26 of them.
And in that time, he has said no to higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars, no to investments in renewable energy, no to renewable fuels. And today, we import triple the amount of oil than we had on the day that senator McCain took office.
. . .
You know, John McCain likes to say that he'll follow bin Laden to the gates of hell, but he won't even follow him to the cave where he lives.
. . .
We are the party of Roosevelt. We are the party of Kennedy. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe.
The Bush-McCain foreign policy has squandered the legacy that generations of Americans, Democrats and republicans, have built, and we are here to restore that legacy.
. . .
As commander-in-chief, I will never hesitate to defend this nation, but I will only send our troops into harm's way with a clear mission and a sacred commitment to give them the equipment they need in battle and the care and benefits they deserve when they come home.
. . .
The times are too serious, the stakes are too high for this same partisan playbook. so let us agree that patriotism has no party. I love this country, and so do you, and so does John McCain.
The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and republicans and Independents, but they have fought together, and bled together, and some died together under the same proud flag. they have not served a red America or a blue America; they have served the United States of America.
So I've got news for you, John McCain: we all put our country first.
Some of the stuff they are saying he said has to have been pulled straight from their asses and the rest from whatever planet they reside on, which isn't the one who actually listened to Obama give his speech last night.
