All throughout this campaign, John McCain has sought and been labeled a 'Maverick', and all the time slinging as much mud and bone breaking anger and hostility.

Now, in his concession speech, he hopes to just walk out of the sewer his campaign created and leave the wild animals and monsters that both he and Sarah Palin created.

I;m deathly afraid that it doesn't work that way. You see, in the 'real world', there are sick people who believe your anti-social lies and machinations. There are people who only get their 'news' from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. Just like people that graze through their local McDonalds and Burger King (Dunkin Donuts?) for four and five meals a day, they end up being ignorant and their mind rots. They honestly believe everything that comes across the TeeVee because, well, everyone knows that they can't say it on the TeeVee if it isn't true. Same for the radio...

When they see cute and photogenic Sarah Palin clutching her prop son and saying things like 'Well yah know that Obama just isn't one of us' and that he's 'scary' and a 'terrorist' and a 'Muslim', they eat that stuff up and believe it as gospel.

You just can't walk back into the darkness after that kind of mean and filthy campaign, especially this one which probably set records for the depth that a political party will mine to in order to potentially keep their opponent from winning. You can't instigate bedlam and near riots at your political engagements and have people wishing your opponent dead and then when you lose, just walk away.

Something is very wrong with our political process that would permit, nae demand this kind of underhanded cowardice from a political party.

To think that you can walk away to Arizona and the nuthouse of Alaska and ignore the severe damage that you and your vicious little attack dogs have done is unconscionable and foolhardy.

But I guess a court of law, especially one with a judge appointed by George Walker Bush (Karl Rove?) and cleared by Monica Goodling would be hard pressed to find anyone guilty for acting on the McCain campaign programming... Look at the Colorado assassination plot for an example: A Rove appointed and Goodling cleared US Attorney soft peddled that threat.

Something is very wrong with this country, profoundly wrong and it's not going to help that the GOP practically handed the election to a black man.

McCain and his lobbyist minions should be held criminally responsible for anything that their followers do in the next two years at least!

McCain and that wastrel Palin should have to go on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and have to undo the evil that they have created. Political campaigns should have to live by stiff libel and slander laws that insure that anything that the campaign slings at the opposition is real and truthful, with documentation.

Any group that creates any advertisement will have to live by those same standards: If it isn't true and documented beyond a shadow of a doubt, don't run it.

Getting money out of politics is a tall order, getting the nastiness out could be a whole lot more achievable, even in my lifetime...

Imagine the irony...

I find it so hard to look at and let alone talk to stunningly beautiful women. I am 48!

I am intelligence and am told that I'm good looking and yet I nearly seaze when talking or even walking by stunning women. I did just, on a self dare, watch a particularly stunning woman walk by me in the market. I felt somehow exhilerated and yet ethereal...

God but I am a weirdo... Or so I thought...

I shudder to think how much my inferiority complex has, and continues to negatively impact my life.

The worse that they can do is say no but somehow that's the worst thing that could ever happen.

What made things rather odd was the moment that every man dreads: the moment when they are invisible to younger women. For me is happened when I turned something close to 35. A stunning woman walked up to me waving and smiling and looking RIGHT AT ME and she walked right past me, looking through me like I wasn't there. Heck, I wasn't that close to her father's age... Yet... ;-)

I wonder how I got this complex and if it will be beaten and left in the basement forever.

All this for a McCain/Keating plant? He and that Todd freak have a lot in common.

Apple gave $100,000 to the 'No on 8' campaign and is being shredded in many blogs and excuriated for getting involved.

The only problem that I see is that they are OVERTLY involved rather than COVERTLY be involved in the backrooms and back streets.

I am not gay and really can't imagine the gay lifestyle but God dammit, they deserve the same protections and legal standing as I and my spouse have. What the hell diference does it mean?

In the macrumors site I read a post about Apple where the writer said that 'they could call it whatever they want but don't call it marriage' and they stated that it didn't matter if the details were the same 'as long as it's not called marriage'. How bizarre is that? It's the label? Is it what it's called that is important?

How stupid! If we're left to fight about labels and the fear of 'the wrong one' being stuck on something, aren't we being just a little, uh, bizarre? I expect a laugh track to rise in the background... Is that from a Seinfeld episode?

When do we laugh?

I am proud of being able to own Apple products now more than ever. Thank you Apple!

Can't someone write a driver/profile for the existing keyboard?
