Mark Steyn: Obama the humble savior
B.Hussein Obama's gonna lower the oceans, disarm all of mankind, care for the sick (as you know, it's never been done before), and assure that everyone has a date for the prom. What a comic strip and we're living it! (Click on bold headline for complete story)

Will he promise to feed all stray cats too?
If McCain can't expose this charlatan in a town hall debate, then we're all doomed.
All together now, Democrats! "I want my Mapo!"
Jeff, is Barampa on XanGo yet?
Jeff, Charles and I think Obanana is too liberal. Yet McCain is also too liberal. So, we've decided to both run on the Independent ticket in November. Can your XanGo proceeds fund our campaign?
One thing at stake in this election is WHO will appoint the next supreme court judges? Who will appoint the federal court judges? Will we get judges who interpret the law or make the law? Maybe William Ayres will be our next supreme court judge!
To quote Tony Montana in Scarface, "I never liked that guy."
George Bernard Shaw once said of democracy that it's chief defect is that only the political party that is out of office knows how to run the government. We now have a candidate for change and the press is effusive with praise of the young idealist. How ironic that through his campaign this candidate for change cast Bill Clinton within the "old establishment" while the media that once idolized the Clintonian Camelot so readily cast off its former darlings for the new idealist, for the press an idealized image of Bobby Kennedy. Progress need not be accepting what is new because it is new and discarding what is old because it is old. Eloquent oratory peppered with the sound bites so endearing to the press all to easily masks indecision, confusion and mixed purposes. It is up to the electorate to move beyond the shallow sound bites and put forth the effort to engage in an exchange of knowledge on the issues facing the nation. We can chose to exchange knowledge through conscientious discussion issues or we can content ourselves with the exchange of ignorance by relying on the sound bites dished out by the media. Change can be good if one know truly what one is changing to. Idealism can move us forward by challenging our thought. We are all well advised to consider the old maxim that an idealist is one who on noticing that a rose smells better than a potato concludes that it will also make better soup.

Great comment, Bob. When will the public dictate the daily rhetoric instead of the lame media dishing out the topic for the day? The lame media's agenda & bias poisons the water.
