"Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation."
-John McCain, last week
Excess is the operative word here. Excess hypocrisy, stupidity, ignorance, and perhaps reckless abandonment of truth. McCain wants this Fridays debate with Obama canceled because of the "financial crisis." Even though last week, he thought the nation's finances were fundamentally sound and banking deregulation was Martha Stewartarianly a "good thing." McCain knew full well that his voting record on deregulation would come into the forefront at the debate, and his clueless reckoning of economics would be paraded by a more intelligent opponent. From the man that has made a career out decorating every conversation with his POW sob stories, he's proving that he is a unmitigated coward to the core. The fact that the upcoming election is even close is a terrifying indictment of half the nation.
Watching Bush's address to the nation tonight, I wondered whether he realizes that after 8 years of misleading the American people and the Congress on Iraq, asking to be trusted to dole out a Trillion dollars right away is really just too much. A Trillion dollars! (700billion now plus several hundred already given out.) I write it and can barely believe it! I guess when you've falsified evidence to send the country to war, defied every notion of freedom by illegal trials and torture, by defying the constitution by illegally spying on your own citizens, suspending habeas corpus, after employing executive privilege to bypass any oversight, by corrupting the department of justice to fire political opponents around the country-
its pretty easy for Bush to say "C'mon whats a trillion dollars? don't you trust us?"
The inscription on Rockefeller center is right.
Art Deco why hath you forsaken us??!!!

For us to maintain our way of living, we must tell lies to each other and especially to ourselves. The lies are necessary because, without them, many deplorable acts would become impossibilities. ~DJ
This week and this election in Caricature Nation - an unusually heady mix of rank hypocrisy and astounding ignorance.
They Are Not Awake.
But McCain, Obama, Bush, whoever... it doesn't matter.
Obama won't be rolling back constitutional infringements.
McCain won't be pulling American troops out of the 130 countries in which they have bases.
State and Federal authorities won't stop privileging corporate persons over actual persons, no matter who fills the seats.
If monetary value is attached to something it will be exploited until it’s gone. That’s what happens when you convert living beings to cash. That conversion... is the central process of our economic system. ~DJ
PS this is hilarious.
