Scariest Headline Since...

Economy shrinking, home prices drop by record amount No wonder I've been having dreams about being in my old Air Force uniform... oh, and the occasional lost-in-the-mall, naked at school Apocalypse dreams too...

It's ABOUT time

The Economist, England's respected and sober conservative magazine endorses Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. It's time.

Missed it by, "that much."

Ewwww... A word to the wise: Never order the "tuna melt," from Indigo Joe's in Colorado Springs. About an hour of dry-heaving-cleaning later... I think it would have been easier to buy a new house than clean up the mess... but not in this market. Sad, but someday, those dollar bills will be worth less than a two-ply sheet of toilet paper... and it will be intentional. How else will the U.S. pay off nearly eleven trillion dollars in debt without becoming a globally-belligerent empire? Oh wait, something tells me that there are crazy people who intend to do both, or at least they did... and that's why we are in the mess we are. Down the toilet. Maybe we could call (not Indigo) Joe the Plumber to help us out?

Can McCain restrain his Hulk-itude one more time?

Hey, it's just the future of mankind or whatever... and it's at least safe to say he's locked up the bigot-vote with his dog-whistle comments and openly disdainful body language towards him, not to mention, the "who is Obama really " Willy Horten- ish ads run by the ghosts of Lee Atwater that obviously call the shots for McCain campaign. And the next debate is on domestic policy? Surely that's McCain's strong suit right? Oh my, I almost, almost feel sorry for McCain. To be perfectly honest, I kind of liked the old codger, especially when he went up against Shrub in 2000 and called Falwell and Robertson and Dobson for what they are, "agent's of intolerance." But, I guess he'd fooled me, because he said that, and complained about negative campaigning out of expediency and not conviction way back then before 9/11, Gulf War II, torture, and now the collapse of the world economy, etc. I've seen less awkward divorce proceedings.... Sure...
