The Manic Mechanic

I watched the debate. Or, the question and answer session, as the case may be. Obama did well, but did not always get to the root of some of the questions. I can live with that, especially since McCain was even more evasive. The format sucked IMO, it was not a debate in the classic sense, more of a simple Q&A with predetermined questions.

McCain looked more like a crotchety old man than ever. While he was trying to be engaging, it came off as stiff, contrived and aggravated. The feeling of anger was palpable as usual.

But what really lowered my opinion of McCain considerably (and I was really, really trying to keep an open mind during all of this) was at the end when he flat-out refused to shake Obama's hand. This proved without a doubt that the man is is a spoiled, poor sport and in no way presidential material. He'd be better off retired, sitting in a park and scaring off the pigeons.

And I figured some on my friends list would comment on the that retired CPO. ;)

Driving home from work today I listened to Michelangelo Signorile interview the head of the Log Cabin Republicans, who officially endorsed John McCain as their candidate of choice. What followed was the same sound bites, the maverick thing, no real word about Palin, etc, etc. Signorile essentially tore the guy apart after he spoke his bit.

I still cant see the connection. Not. At. All.

In other news, seals have officially endorsed killer whales, snakes have endorsed mongooses (mongoose? mongeese??), Christians have endorsed lions and trees have lined up behind chipper/shredders.

I would also state the tired line about Jews endorsing Hitler, but the timeline is wrong.
