We got past the elections, and for me they came out pretty good. Now this blog will occasionally comment on subjects of interest. Comments are welcome and encouraged.

From Jon Stewart
The Daily Show was exceptional Friday after the Republican convention was over.
Watch this video - especially from 4:50 - 5:50 - it says it all.
I think Jon Stweart is funny (very funny and worth watching everday) and I think his "analysis" is sometimes (more often than not, ok, almost always) eerily spot on. However, I don't think serious Republican followers (or serious undecideds for that matter) will consider the inclusion of his satire to be an educated argument for or against any candidate.
Nor do I think you do.
All I'm saying is that in this blog, you have a platform to discuss your opinions and to bring in some facts to support your opinions.
Okay, I was lazy. But sometimes I come across things that support my beliefs more strongly that I ever could. In these two cases specifically, there can be no substitute for the videos that clearly demonstrate 1) that McCain is no longer a 'maverick', and 2) McCain is an echo of Bush (and a pretty clear echo at that!). I'll try to say it my way most of the time, but if someone else says it clearly and I agree - I'm more than willing to share the space! Granted, a lot of these two videos is more humor and less factual - but the clips of McCain reversing his position over the last 8 years, and the clips of McCain this year and Bush in 2000 are just too compelling to ignore.
Thanks. I do think others (comedians included) have excellent points and excellent platforms that you can share with us. I just like your "take" to be included. :)

So get on YOUR soapbox. :)
Love, WLC.
