    Scary? I'll tell you what's scary

    ... The way that the Shrub squandered the global outpouring of goodwill towards the US

    ... the billions of dollars spent on the war in Iraq, when they are in a far better financial position than we are to run their country

    ... the thought of another underachieving mediocrity ascending this country's highest office

    ... the idea that Palin, who has already proven she knows nothing about the Constitution or the role of the Vice Presidency, being a 72-year-old-heart away from the Oval Office

    ... the possibility that someone who has run such an inept campaign as McCain could end up attempting to be head of our government

    I've got to stop; I am scaring myself now.
