Elections
More election stuff. I just saw a headline where McCain is trying to distance himself from Bush - I wonder why. I started to think of what is different in my life over the last 8 years. In general, my pay is smaller and my costs are higher. The value of my house dropped like a moose in Palin's sights - assuming I could sell it. The gas I use went from $1.40 six years ago to $4.40 this year. My taxes have been spent to fight a bogus war in Iraq to remove WMD that have never existed. More taxes will be used up this month to bail out businesses that can't seem to make any money except those millions paid to their CEOs. Countries that used to tolerate us don't like us and those countries who never really liked us, now hate us. Entering the USofA after visiting Canada is now a royal pain-in-the-ass since you no longer have any idea of what the latest good/bad stuff is for immigration and customs. The loonie and euro have both recently hit record highs against the buck. About the only good that's happened is I got a good wife - and Bush had nothing to do with that.
Yep - just what we need - another hawkish Republican to carry on...
