Am I The Only One Noticing...

...All the "I" statements in McCain's speech tonight? "I did this," "I did that." "It was me who said such-and-such." "It was me who pushed for this."

I. I. I. Me. Me. Me. It sounds so pathetic and reaching. Contrast that Obama's speech last week.

And yet... the American people are just eating it up. Just like they did with Palin's speech.

Seriously, after 8 years, if that old coot wins this shit, I'm thinking about applying for a Canadian work-visa. And no, I don't just mean this in some sort of detached hippie-bullshit way. I mean that I won't want to be an American anymore.

Ugh. Christ. Here, have some Johnny Cash. "Personal Jesus." It rocks my skull.



Could it be any more perfect?

That was fucking sweet... Jesus was a community organizer, Pilate was a Governor!

Milo...we've been talking about getting out of dodge too. We are afraid. Look at the police state shit in St Paul Scary ass preemptive raids on journalists and protestors. I tell ya - those protestors during the speech tonight had balls. Things are dangerous and frightening. I cannot take much more. We have to work so hard this time. We have to make sure that this one is not stolen and if they try we need to take it back. No more.

In case you don't read below this article is perfect.

Wow, great song! Didn't know Johnny covered it. And yes, I'm thinking of becoming an expat if McPalin "wins." It'll be Handmaid's Tale in a year.

Yeah, they are starting construction on a big desalination plant in Mexico, right where I go for vacation... might need some technical help.
