“There is nothing we can do about China’s growing strength” McCain said while campaigning in New Hampshire.

But we could work on improving our economic strength. No? Maybe ... idunno ... borrow less, spend less. Crazy talk.

Anyway, the thinking seems to be that no matter how far our economy falls we will be just fine as long as we have military might. The trouble with this policy is that an economic crash might tempt us into a much larger war.

It will be an interesting time. We seem to be all for capitalism as long as we are on the winning side. I wonder how our "ideals" will hold up if the Chinese stopped sponsoring our government. My guess is that suddenly, you guessed it, communism would be back.

However, I am somewhat disappointed in Obama. He has been acting more and more like the quintessential politician as of late. For the record, that is NOT a compliment. Very disillusioning.. Kinda like finding out that your parents aren't perfect..

Regarding Hillary's "heroics", I read the funnest thing yesterday...

""If getting shot at by sniper fire qualifies you to be president, then there are thousands of guys in the military right now who are way more qualified than Hillary Clinton to be our next president.""

To quote Homer Simpson, "It's funny because it's true!!!" :D

Finally.....

While FL's Dem votes are still in limbo, I have a good solution for MI. If I recall correctly Obama, in deference to the DNC, removed his name from the ballot. The result was 55% for Hillary and 44% for
"Uncommitted".. It seems to me that the best solution for the MI issue is to simply give all the votes for "Uncommitted" to Obama, since it is likely a vote for "Uncommitted" was a vote for Obama.. That would at least allow the illusion that the MI Dem voters counted...

FLORIDA (my state) is so fracked up, we're beyond help...

Michale.....
