(Wiping sweat from my brow) I'm glad I won't have to consider voting for McSame becasue there isn't a chance in hell that he can answer the following 7 respecful, fair, and even-handed questions.

I would urge everyone to stick to the issues and force McCain and his surrogates to answer one or more of the following questions everytime we get a chance to. Don't hold your breath waiting for that "Liberal" media to do it for us.

With props to Alanis Morrisette, isn't it ironic (don't you think) that a party constantly screaming about merit-based, objective, and unbiased advancement in life, turns around and gives its Vice-Presidential candidacy to the most unqualified candidate in history? Why would they do that?

The leadership forum has just ended and John Edwards is sitting down with about 200 people to take questions and speak his mind. I will be live blogging the event in the comment section. The blog will be going on over at The Seminal. Keep refreshing the page to see new updates, and if you have a question feel free to ask it and I’ll see if I can get it in.

How do you judge whether or not a movie is "good?" For me, it centers upon how much I think about the movie after I've seen it. In other words, what effect does it have on you and your life. One movie has caused me to think almost non-stop since I've seen it.

Who Killed the Electric Car should be mandatory viewing for all Americans. It's unbelievable! Not only will it piss you off, but it offers a better government lesson than you ever got out of a textbook or teacher lecture (and that's coming from a government teacher). Do yourself a favor and watch it. You won't be disappointed.

The United States of Economic Coincidence
It shouldn't surprise anyone to learn that Americans have embraced the world of make-believe. After all, eight of the top ten highest-grossing movies of 2005 took place in far-away galaxies, starred personified animals, or revolved around alien invasions. Even the two non-fiction movies to grace the list--Wedding Crashers and Mr. and Mrs. Smith--don't exactly excite the realists among us. If this bothers you, don't worry. By collectively proving our ability to suspend reality, we are simply practicing for this year's elections when we will be bombarded with even more make-believe. Sadly, this time it won't be entertainment, but an attempt by Conservative Congressional incumbents to explain away record-high gas prices, stagnant wages, and the ballooning Federal deficit in the face of war-time tax cuts.

In today's "me-first" society, it's refreshing to see that the director of the CIA, Porker, err Porter Goss is resigning--obviously to spend more time with his family. Trying not to be out done, the #3 man at the agency, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, has followed suit in following his boss out the door and into his own family's life.

Although the term "Catholic Leader" may seem like an oxymoron of late, this is encouraging news. You see, the leading Catholic astronomer just called creationism a bunch of bullshit. (okay, he didn't use the exact same vernacular as me, but you get the point) This is the kind of stuff Catholic leaders should be talking more about. The sane ones have let the ideologues have their views go unchallenged for too long. If they keep this up (along with their comtemplation of allowing condom use in Africa) I might just have to sneak into that back pew again.

This guy sums up the role of science and religion better than I ever could.

The next time someone tells you they're a Conservative, ask them to clarify. There's a huge difference between what our college professors told us it meant, and what it means in today's reality. Here's my take on what a Conservative really is.

Believe me, I'm no conspiracy theorist. However, this video raises more questions about what we were told about the Pentagon attack than anything I've ever seen. I wouldn't post it here if it didn't think many of you would come to the same conclusion. Please, check it out!

P.S.
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I've never seen it. I'm sure there are plenty more out there in the same boat.

Recently I've been cheating on the Kossacks community and been "blogging" behind your backs with two guys I teach with. One is ULTRA-conservative, but an extremely nice and bright guy nonetheless. The other guy is one of the smartest guys I've ever met, but he's completely down on the whole political process--saying that Democrats are a bunch of pussies (apologies to the politically correct among us). He asked me to explain why I'm a Democrat. This is what I came up with off the top of my head.

Put incumbant Congressional Republicans on the defensive. Every 2006 Democratic challenger's message should be the same: "They've controlled all three branches of government for the last 6 years (with one small exception) and what do they have to show for it?"

"Record deficits, 2000 + dead Americans, $500 Billion spent in Iraq, tax cuts for the rich while average workers wages have gone down, intrusions into the private lives of Americans (mention the Terri Schiavo debacle as often as possible), a flat stock market, 45 million Americans without health insurance, eroding international support for the war on terrorism, no bin-Laden, record levels of personal debt, record high gas prices, more reliance on foreign oil, raids on corporate pensions, and an overall management system that makes Enron look good. But wait, they did save Christmas."

I am a high school government teacher. Just recently, we have been discussing the differences between the Democratic and Republican platforms. When the topic of gay marriage was raised, I gingerly explained how the two parties GENERALLY feel about the subject. (Try doing that in a class of 25 immature boys)

Anyway, I haven't been able to stop thinking about what a great commercial or soundbite this would make for a candidate trying to defend his support of gay marriage.
