  • The presidency is not combat!

    Hey, you know, I think 50 Cent has been shot at a lot - why not make him president, since that is obviously the main requirement. Hilary is obviously (and pathetically) trying to come up with something to match McCain's 'war hero' schtick. Which is unfortunate, because I wish someone would already have the balls to shatter this idiotic notion that combat experience somehow entails presidential ability (and that the lack thereof is some sort of weakness). I like dumb action movies as much as the next guy, but maybe it's time we as a culture grew up and stopped projecting this adolescent hero-worship into the real world. Frankly, from looking at the state of today's military and the stories coming out of Iraq, I want our next president to be as far away from a military background as possible.
