quote of the day

"Let me offer an advance warning to the old, big spending, do nothing, me first, country second Washington crowd: change is coming."
-John McCain, at the RNC, on Sarah Palin

lies, lies, lies

Not to continue to attack the republican candidates, but honestly, guys? Hasn't the blogosphere proven already that the truth always comes out? The GOP convention was guilty time and time again for stretching the truth, and flat out lying in various speeches. Couldn't they just hire a fact checker?

who to believe?

Apparently it's being reported that Sarah Palin had an affair with her husband's business partner (...first mate?...). McCain's camp is threatening legal action, which blogger Perez Hilton says "makes her look guilty." The Enquirer was, apparently, the first news source to break the story, and as Hilton points out, has been right before about politicians having affairs.

My question is, does this matter? I mean, extramarital affairs used to matter to Republicans, but I maintain that, while I wouldn't want to date/marry Bill Clinton, he made a great president and sure, doing the nasty (allegedly) in the Oval Office isn't exactly kosher, he still managed to ride out eight years pretty successfully. And he was the H.B.I.C.; Palin would only be VP, so really, doesn't it matter even less?

Well, anyway. Read the two articles regarding the subject here and here.
