I think the best thing about the John McCain campaign is John McCain. The people around him, though, are coming off as thin-skinned and surreptitious. Wife Cindy lashes out at the hosts of "The View" for asking tough questions?? Come on! - at this late date, shame on her for expecting softball Q&A from anybody. Although both she and her husband handled themselves well on the show, it's clear that Cindy really got her wittle feelings hurt.

Palin's supporters are suing to stop an investigation into her firing of her former public service commissioner. (Er, the "Troopergate" mishmash…. And are most idjuts who insist on affixing the "-gate" suffix to any hint of a scandal up enough on their history to know what the "gate" refers to? And even if they do, I decry their lack of imagination!!) As for Palin, woman up!!!!! You need to come clean and you need to be honest - honesty can win this election. And right now, you're winning the prize for downright criminal elusiveness.

And John McCain just smiles and acts like none of these people whom he's hired and hand-selected and married are speaking for him?

But you know where the biggest idiots are, don'cha?? Wall Street. While the IAG bailout probably will avert a global depression (for now), it is beyond criminal that we even got to this point. Obama has a plan of attack – to his lasting credit, Obama has a plan of attack for every talking-point on the ballot - while McCain seems content to rest on his record.

Newsflash: this ain’t the Republicans fault. This cannot be attributed to any party. It can be attributed to the ilk of avaricious, unrestrained muttonheads that this society of free-wheeling, freedom-chasing sinners have issued from their blood-stained loins. Freedom today in America has been interpreted to allow the worst kinds of excesses from the glistening steel towers of Wall Street to the litter-strewn streets of the ‘Hood.

But I guess that’s another rant.

Still, neither side has offered any concrete solutions to the economic crisis. Both are willing to investigate the problems, but nobody - and I do mean nobody - has the answer. So for McCain and Obama to trade barbs at each other, while they are both treading water..... how uncool is that?? (Okay, maybe I’m wrong. Check this out.) Or even though this next jerk is the spawn of the devil himself, Vladmir Putin might be able to give us some tips on turning around our economy, huh?

I have to add criminal defense lawyer/singer Lauren Lake to the list today. She says any points the McCains may have scored on "The View" were rendered moot by McCain's number of houses. Yeah, Lauren, like there are no filthy rich Democrats out there with more than one palatial estate to their name. She actually said McCain can't have all these houses while there are economically struggling Americans. I completely forgot that all Democrats are poor. My bad.

As as long as I broadened the scope of this list, how about China and its poisoned toys in the USA and its poisoned baby milk formula in China? Yeah, the Chinese government and China’s own ilk of avaricious, unrestrained muttonheads that their society of free-wheeling, freedom-chasing sinners have issued (if I may quote myself) are the major criminals here. But Bush, Sr, Bill Clinton and Dubya all pussy-footed around the issue of China’s egregious human-rights abuses while courting its friendship. It’s McCain who’s talking tough on China, not Obama. And neither one is talking tough on Israel. When the Berlin Wall came down, America had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to demonstrate authentic global leadership. We didn’t do it. We allowed the Middle East to fester, ignored the long-range ramifications of military bases in Saudi Arabia, courted China like an acne-scarred smitten dweeb, and totally ignored Africa.

You know who needs to take responsibility for America and for our lives and our neighbors’ lives? All of us, dammit!! Stop pointing the finger and waiting for someone else in Washington to take control. Because all that does is reveal us as weak-willed and clueless. Step up and firm up.

Ciao.

PS….. Major kudos to anyone who can tell me what very important day this is in American history!!!! For all of you who are celebrating it, God bless!!
