Guests? We don’t need no stinking guests!!!


FROM THE ENDLESS CAMPAIGN

John McCain is narrowing down his choices for VP. No real surprises – it’s a bunch of wacky conservatives, each loveable in their own way. Apparently, McCain requires that his potential VPs be organ donors and be under the age of 65. Are we joking? Yes.

But there’s nothing funny about this headline – ouch. Looks like the national attention span is…ooh, look: something shiny.

Oy vey! Jews in Florida have their doubts about Barack Obama. If we can’t count on the Jews to vote for the black guy, we might be in trouble. On the upside, more and more writers and pundits put Obama at the top of any Democratic ticket.

IN THE MELANGE

Ellen Degeneres invited John McCain to her decidedly gay wedding. After his amazingly awkward response, Ellen whipped out her famous girl-on-girl charm and diffused the situation. But all the jokes in the world won’t make this issue go away – or this one. Some cyborgs see benefits to allowing gay marriage and increased gay rights. On the other hand, here’s a Fox News piece that seriously tackles the question of whether or not homosexuality is “natural”. Gulp. We’re in trouble, folks. Back to you, Ellen.

A former Guantanamo detainee says he wasn’t “Water-Boarded” – he was “Water-Treated”, a method of physical interrogation that is just as vicious but sounds more like a spa treatment. The point is, CIA officials have once again found a way to dance around the concept of torture and manipulate the meanings of words. Damn, they’re good.

Still think God doesn’t exist? Hey Christopher Hitchens – explain this!

This viral video is too long and ultimately kind of disappointing. 1.3 billion people can be wrong.

I can't.

It bothers me too. I wish the Democratic leadership would grow a pair.

But that still doesn't change the fact that the "gay" issue is radio-active. This election is much too important to risk defeat in November. The Democrats have a good shot at the White House and securing a solid majority in the House and Senate.

Change is alot easier when you control all of the levers of government (you can see what the Bush administration accomplished in just eight years). It is crutial that Democrats win; then and only then can they begin to undo all of Bush's failed policies, appoint sane judges and turn this country around for the better.

Change (for the better) will come, but believe me, nothing positive will happen in this country until Progressive Democrats get elected first.
