HOLY CARP!!!

Obama overexposure Couple this with some of the increasingly critical commentary on Obama's proposed policies that I'm hearing on NPR, and I wonder if we may be turning a bit of a corner in media coverage of The Chosen One. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Previous experience has shown that the one thing the media loves even more than building someone up is to tear him/her down. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

The Maverick seems to be listening to the wrong people, IMO. McCain is never better than when he is 'straight talking' - policy and reality discussions. These attack ads he is running with his approval are uncalled for, misleading and beneath him. |

I Owe It All To John D'Oh

Amen. I don't think McCain will win if he follows the Rove Playbook. He has to be different. He IS different. |

Yep. But you'd not know it since he won the primaries. Sad. There is so very much at stake. |
