McCain’s Campaign

The media has had its big story on the McCain campaign, that was the recipes listed on his website.  Instead of being from his wife, they were straight off the Food Network website.  This got lots of play by some in the media and on the View.

Why?  Does that really flippin’ matter when the fate of this country is waiting for the new leader?  Does that make a difference in the situation in Iraq?  How about strengthen our economy?  Then why dwell on it?

The issues need to be covered.  But the corporate media spends all its time and efforts on bullsh*t stories that do not inform an ignorant electorate.  Issues like McCain’s flipping on torture or tax cuts, issues he orginally opposed, but now he supports.

So the recipes are not important!  But then the media would be acting like a responsible function of society and that is something that they are just not prepared to do.  Okay, the story has taken a back seat to the comments and the negativity of the Dems, but that is another post.  Both are completely worthless.

Candidates And Pep Rallies

I hate pep rallies! The candidates, all the candidates, and their stump speeches are just that….a pep rally. Complete with cheers, jeers, yells, whistles, applause and even a fight song, in some cases. It is all about winning, just like a high school pep rally.

Apparently, the American voter appreciates being treated like a juvenile. I guess that makes sense , since the mental capacity of most is about that of a 14 year old. That could go to explain it.

A good example, in Pennsylvania union, blue collar, non-college working class voted large for Clinton. Thinking…thinking….does anyone remember Bill and NAFTA? He basically, gave away their jobs to overseas. And they expect someone who supported the original agreement to somehow bring those jobs back? Yeah, right!

And then white women voted for a white woman…go figure.

Here is my fav, catholics voted for Clinton, but will mostly likely help elect McCain. Does anyone else see the utter lunacy of any of this? Does anyone see the game being played here?

This shows me that: 1–the voter is uninformed…..a polite way of saying stupid. 2–they like this stupid little game of politics makes them feel a little important for a short while. 3–Finally, there vote will probably not count, because the power elite already have their choice for president.

May the force be with you!

Virtual border fence in Ariz. a failure – The Boston Globe

I was gonna summarize this story for my readers, but hell, you got to read the whole thing. It is the brain child of Boeing and the $20 million is a flush down the toilet. The story they will scrap it and go with a new idea and concept.

All I can ask is, did they try it out before they bought it? If not, why not? If it does not work as advertised can the taxpayer get their money back?

I am working on a new award for my Blog to give every year for this type of waste and stupidity. I already have the “Assies”.
