No wonder the GOP kicks our collective rear ends on a regular basis. When is the Democratic Party going to work as a cohesive unit? The GOP is only good at one thing-winning elections. They can't govern-period.To hell with "re-doing" the Fla & Mich primaries. Let's move on.

"Crudweiser" is the worst. Not only because is tastes like nothing, but because of the deceptive way it's advertised. For instance, way back in the day, they touted Budweisers' "Exclusive Beechwood Aging" as one of the reasons it tasted so good. Then, a few decades later, they come out with the slogan, "Born on Dating for Freshness"..Ok, am I ignorant or are these statements in direct conflict with each other? Let's face it: The fresher the beer is, the better it tastes. So, what we have is a deliberate lie. (referring to the "aging" process)This, coupled with their other giant lie, "Only the finest grains and hops, blah blah, blah"...right on the label. Another lie. Budweiser uses rice in their formula, which, until only recently, was the cheapest cereal grain available. No self-respecting brewmeister uses rice, unless you're living in the Far East, and barley is hard to come by. And if you've ever had Tiger Beer in Singapore, O.B. in Korea, Kirin in Japan, etc., you know that rice makes for a really insipid brew-renders it nearly tasteless. I won't shed a tear when they go away. (although I know a lot of rednecks here in Ohio that will probably freak out if the stuff evaporates from the shelves) Goodbye to Beer For Dummies!!!

I've seen these assholes before. During Vietnam, we had certain officers and enlisteds who never faced combat, and spent their time fetching cigars for the upper echelons, or pushing pencils somwhere far away from the nasty business of war. These guys would strut in like peacocks, all creased and shiny, every hair in place,with their mirrored flight sunglasses, and look at the real soldiers and turn their noses up, and sometimes decry "That we were a disgrace to the uniform" (Polishing your brass isn't a high priority in the bush, let me tell you.)They were sons of business moguls, rich people, and politicians. The only reason they were there was to fatten their resumes for later life. Hey, a political aspiree with a war service entry in his jacket goes a long way to getting elected. The grunts despised them, and if they ever ventured off-base, they'd get their asses kicked by the real soldiers. These were the kind of gung-ho screw-ups that if they did have a commission on the battlefield, they'd get a lot of men killed. These were also the guys that would have a grenade rolled into their tent at night, and get blown to bits, by their own troops. It wasn't murder, it was survival of the team. These "Embedded political shills" need the same kind of treatment.

I AM fatigued...by the endless comic-book crapola being dished out by Hollywood. I am sick to death of these regurgitated thrice-told tales from the 40s, 50s & 60s. I truly believe, (with a few notable exceptions, of course), that the entire industry has run out of really original ideas. Great movies are a thing of the past, and Hollywood, in its never-ending quest for big bucks, has whored itself out to the point that no self-respecting pimp would keep them in the stable. It isn't just the "Stan Lee Syndrome", either. Every genre has been infected with this disease. How many more incarnations of Jason are we to endure? I can't wait for the Batman sequel featuring Anthony Hopkins as a geriatric caped crusader gumming his prunes, while Alfred, now turned male nurse, gets Batman a fresh diaper. I am through spending money on this garbage.

After nearly 40 years of essentially Republican rule, (28 out of 40), the Democrats have a real shot at putting some genuinely gifted politicians in office. Not a flash-in-the-pan luckout like Clinton, (who never would have been elected without Ross Perots help), but real technicians at getting things done. These guys could do 2 terms and set the stage for another Dem term afterwards. It's time we shed all the baggage initiated by the original Republican evil-doer, Nixon, and all of his wretched successors. The politics of greed/"freemarket advocacy" have had their day, and it has been a miserable failure. Time for some common sense and I hope these two do the trick. The polls currently put Obabma behind McSame, but when Obama gets him one-on-one at the debates, I have a feeling Barack will eat McCain alive. When it happens, Obama will show the entire world how inept and hollow McCain is, bury him with his own partys record, and do it with style. McCain has got to be the most painfully clumsy orator since Ross Perots running mate, James Stockdale. If the republicans win this election, I will be leaving this country for good, because they will finish the job of turning this once great country into hell.
