Senator John McCain stepped off of the False-Outrage Express today to launch one of the most reprehensible political attacks of the campaign. It went like this:
“And I will not accept from Senator Obama, who did not feel it was his responsibility to serve our country in uniform, any lectures on my regard for those [...]

John McCain is looking for a running mate. Is there anyone he could pick that wouldn’t make him look like he’s sold out everything he’s ever stood for? Nope, didn’t think so.
Oh, the difference a few votes on the SCOTUS makes.
The Opinionator thinks conservatives shouldn’t look for “the next big thing” - what [...]

The all-too familiar news is that oil is expensive. And, of course, oil prices continue to climb. The price for light, sweet crude stopped just short of $130 a barrel. In the “DUH!!!” news of the day:

Now that the media seems to have gotten the memo that nothing Hillary Clinton can do will give her the nomination, it’s time to move on to speculating as to who Barack Obama will pick as his Vice-President.

I was glad to hear Barack Obama oppose the “gasoline tax holiday“. That is truly one of the dumbest ideas I’ve heard in some time. It isn’t that I wouldn’t appreciate paying eighteen cents less per gallon - it’s just that eighteen cents per gallon isn’t enough to do anything for anyone.
