The cost of OUR war in Iraq

Animated McCain series......

Our son sent me this one....

Back on September 26th, CNN's Jack Cafferty let us into his thoughts about Sarah Palin and her threat to our country...... "One 72 year old's heart beat away from the Presidency"





The go to CNN.com/CaffertyFile Scroll down to September 26th, and read the comments - if the world were not in so much peril from this woman's placement on the brink of 'leadership' I would be tickled by this quote "She’s no more qualified than Marge Simpson." said Jennifer in Winnipeg - then again Marge would present herself much better.

What to they want?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Of course, They want a woman who is

"just like me!"

"Every morning I wake up and tease my hair 'till it's big enough to hide a rabbit in, tell my knocked-up teenage daughter that a marriage by shotgun is better than not getting married, have someone fired 'cause gosh darn it, I don't like them very much........ and then go shoot a moose for lunch."

"Then after I get Trig up from his nap and do his enrichment exercises - by screeching about 'terrorists' close to his ear; About 3:00pm I will meet with reporters, pose for some pictures - not answer any questions that I have not been fed the answers to -- and get home in time to remind my husband to 'smile - and not speak to anyone - ever. Double so about Troopergate.'"

McCain would call these "gotchas" we will just "Oh Sarah - say it isn't so..."

Financial News This Week

Watching all this financial news makes something come to mind .....

If you jump out of the Empire State Building from the 101st floor, for 100 floors you can actially think you're flying for 1200 feet or so.....That sudden stop will not be too much fun though.

It was a nice flight wasn't it? I know I enjoyed it ----

"Passengers, Thank your for flying Baby Boom Airways..... Prepare for landing, strap on your seat belt - it may be a very rough landing. "

"Ma...... are we there yet?"

Populist?

Lots of people on television seem to be calling McCain-Palin "populists" all of a sudden. Wow, this is not a term that I have seen used much in my lifetime. (60 years) This is something I studied in history regarding the beginning on the last century - "the elites" vs. "the people" - trade unions - railroad barons..... Big business, little people... , Hooverism vs. New Deal....

Now it is field dressing a moose? Now it is spouse that is a fisherman? Now it is a car pool, hockey mom ---- vs. the ____________________(fill in the blank).

The devil's own spawn, said - "She's a populist," Karl Rove on Fox TV.

Some talking head on CBS said she was a "populist" --

I might like someone -- my neighbor might like someone -- we might decide we both like someone for the same reason, we talk around and everyone seems facinated by the same person........ That does not mean that that person is a populist, it might mean that she is popular or even a curiosity.... but it does not mean she is a populist.

Gynecological Reasons to vote for Sarah Palin
