Yes We Can!

Change We Can Believe In!

Great slogans, and the idea for winning this election is change and saving our country's future. Every decent candidate, on either side of the political divide, makes this claim. Some state they should be elected to preserve what's going well, and others claim they should be elected to move the country back on the right track.

But there's another thing that needs to be pointed out here. When we say this election is for the future, we're thinking about the future of the country. That's good. But there's another future to consider here.

The Great Get to Know Sarah Palin Speech is finally over, and the pundits will pun, the spinmeisters will spin, and the rest of us will be amazed at all the bloviating.

Well, there's one certainty now that the Sarah Palin introduction to America speech is over.

Someone, somewhere, probably on the internets that McCain just can't figure out how to work, but somebody will say that her speech made her sound kind of "bitchy". And some Republican is going to flip it and say that the Democrats (or Democrat Party) are just a bunch of sexists. They'll play the victim card so they can try to get pity votes and yet still act in the usual anti-woman ways.

So, who's going to make that claim first, and how soon?

One of the things that pisses me off about our side is that we keep getting boxed in by language not of our making. We have a great chance to turn the tide on this as well as on a key issue.

One thing I think pretty much everyone here can agree on is the need for fair taxation. Those of us on the left mostly agree that those who can pay more, should pay more. We also tend to agree that high taxes on large sums of inherited wealth would not be a bad thing. This is not because "we love taxes", but because it will trend our country towards a larger middle class. We recognize that there will always be poor and rich, but we want to increase the size of the middle class, not shrink it as the Republicans seem to want to.

Yahoo! article Apparently in Canada, they have created, in tandem with the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, a World Stupidity Award. While you would think Bush would cleanly sweep this Awards Show, as it turns out, he only won one award, for Stupidest Statement of the Year, when he said "They never stop thinking of ways of harming America, and neither do we."

More impressively, Bush managed to lose Stupidest Man of the Year to Ann Coulter. Not Stupidest Person, but Stupidest Man.

Fox News was also cited for "Media Outlet Which Has Best Furthered Ignorance".

How the US government did not do better is a mystery. Oh well, there's always next year...if there is a next year....
