McCain 

I'm going to create bumper stickers which say "McCain/Bush for President".

Someone should put boston.com out of its misery. How is it possible that the New York Times has not yet laid off every employee at boston.com, and replaced it with a clean and functional website -- like nytimes.com -- without all the annoying popups and animated ads.

At a minimum, boston.com should just use Google AdSense for relevant text ads, and then just publish Boston Globe stories. The site then might become usable. (And boston.com could probably do a staff reduction since they would not need a team to manage the annoying online ads.)

Just now I had to go to boston.com for the first time in months -- to lookup a death notice. Boston.com can't even get this right -- see the layout of the screen here.

I used to be a HUGE fan of Obama. I had never before been so interested in national politics. I love his message of inclusion etc.

But once he had beaten Clinton, Obama started to pander to the "mass market".

First, when he reversed his position on telco immunity. And now he is reversing his opinion on offshore drilling.

Maybe this is "what is required" to win in a nation of idiots who watch Fox TV.

But I've become disillusioned.
