Question:
What would you call a Muslim who managed to fly a Cessna over Central Park, dropping Napalm on perfectly innocent civilians?
Answer: A terrorist.
Question: What would you call an American, flying an A-4 Skyhawk over the Vietnamese countryside, dropping napalm on innocent Americans?
Answer: A war hero.
(Funny, how that works.)
Question: What do you suppose would happen if the Napalm-dropping Muslim were to be shot down and captured (alive) in New York City?
Answer: He would be detained, tortured, and executed. (that is...if he were to survive his initial arrest.)
Question: What would happen to the guy who did the same thing in Vietnam, in an A-4 Skyhawk?
Answer: He'd live to become the United States presidential candidate for the Republican party.
Americans have not a leg to stand on when it comes to accusing others of terrorist activities. From Hiroshima to Fallujah...we wrote the bloody book!
McCain is a dangerously troubled soul, understandably perhaps.
This election should not be this close, all things considered. It's time to really delve into McCain the "person". Obama has every legitimate right to examine and expose this insane little man for who and what he really is (and what he isn't).

When you are able to actually believe that "god" has somehow created humans in "his" own image, and lesser life forms, like fur bearing mammals were "created" essentially for our amusement, it's no great leap to see why freaks like McCain and Palin have little or no regard for them.
Had a youngish, reasonably attractive male with Palin's identical brittle sensibilities, her casual dishonesty, her extreme religiosity, her fondness for killing things, her xenophobia, her lack of self awareness, and her frighteningly shallow understanding of the world outside her of own private igloo, been chosen as McCain's running mate, Ms. Paglia would have been hard pressed to conjure up a pant-load like this love letter disguised as serious political commentary.
I only wish Obama had the "most liberal voting record" in the Senate.
I wouldn't have to hold my nose when I vote for him next month, for one thing.
When will American's wake the fu*k up and stop vilifying all things that represent their best interests?
We are living in an "ideocracy".
It's fascinating, in a perverse sort of a way, but these strange humanoids (assuming that they are not some alien life form, and I've got my fingers crossed) are themselves the strongest evidence that they'll ever have in their attempts to debunk "Darwinism".
The big question for the rest of us: Are we DEVO?

Let's be real. Americans have not a leg to stand on when it comes to accusing others of terrorist activities. Don't forget, from Hiroshima to Fallujha, we wrote the bloodiest of books!
The last time I checked, conspiracy to insight a riot is a crime.
Mrs. Palin and old-Johnny-Hot-Dog are doing exactly that, probably with the fervent hope of causing violence and harm to befall the Democratic candidate. The pair of them should hauled off to prison TODAY!
McCain is a disgusting human being, if he actually is a human being.
Mrs. Palin is a sickening example of what you get when a female adopts virtually all of the worst qualities that are usually associated with very problematic examples of male members of our tiresome species.
America is becoming both a nightmare as well as the laughing stock in the eyes of our neighbors throughout the world.
Will this eight year-long horror ever end?
We will heed your warning.
(We promise.)
Poignantly stated, as always.
Mr. Keillor is a national treasure, pricless and rare.
It comforts me somehow, just knowing that he exists.
It's painful to imagine what life must have been like for those two hapless little nitwits, growing up in Admiral McCain's household.
They both serve as a stern warning against the ravages of "inbreeding".
