If McCain were best person to lead country now

We've Had Two Victories in Iraq (0.00 / 0)
"Mission Accomplished"

Apparently not enough to bring the troops home!

"The Surge Worked"

And still not enough to bring the troops home, but instead have more serving in theater than before 'the surge'!

What's the next catch phrase??

clipped from www.vetvoice.com it would make sense to let bygones be bygones. He is not. He has no vision, no plan, and has resorted to fear and smear tactics. He does not deserve to rest on his hero image as a substitute for lack of any other reason to earn support. There are so many people who mistakenly think a vote for McCain is patriotic and means traditional American values. Thank you each too, for your service and sacrifices. Yesterday news came about a young husband in our area, dead of injuries in Iraq. I'm absolutely heartsick, can't sleep. As Barrack Obama said, no soldier's death for his country is in vain. On the same night, McCain said we have to KEEP sending our servicepeople, that if we say Iraq was a mistake we dishonor the memories of those precious ones who've been lost.  God bless this soldier for doing his duty, and God bless his family, may they have peace and comfort ... but how will more deaths honor him, "win" or lose.

For all its sophistication and power, your brain is built from unreliable components – one neuron can successfully provoke a signal in another only 40% of the time. Our brains combine neurons into heavily connected groups to unite their 40% reliability into a much more reliable whole. Elisha Moses at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel developed a way to control the growth pattern of neurons to build reliable circuits that use neurons rather than wires. When stimulated with a small dose of a drug, the neurons send signals around the circuit.

I think it was Huxley in his book Third Wave he talked about people working for free. This is a clear example of that.

By typing them, you help to digitize old texts. clipped from recaptcha.net reCAPTCHA is a free CAPTCHA service that helps to digitize books. About 60 million CAPTCHAs are solved by humans around the world every day. In each case, roughly ten seconds of human time are being spent. Individually, that's not a lot of time, but in aggregate these little puzzles consume more than 150,000 hours of work each day. What if we could make positive use of this human effort? reCAPTCHA does exactly that by channeling the effort spent solving CAPTCHAs online into "reading" books. reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA.

Chicagoan Assaulted While Canvassing for Obama

worthy of a full read, not just clippings.

clipped from www.huffingtonpost.com Nancy Takehara, the Chicagoan who was assaulted while canvassing for Obama in Caledonia, Wisconsin, was contacted by the candidate himself on the day of the incident. By the time Takehara had returned home, there was an answering machine message from the campaign. She called the number and Obama spoke to her personally with words of moral support. Takehara said this morning, "All I have to say is Mr. Obama is a wonderful man" who was very supportive. On Saturday, Takehara was going door to door in Caledonia with another canvasser when she was verbally assaulted and then grabbed by the hair on the back of her neck and reportedly pounded on the head. (Watch a news report here.) The Obama campaign's statement on the matter was very polite, calling the incident "isolated and extremely rare." I have decided to fall in line with the general sentiment of the Obama camp that the high road ought to be the one taken in response to such lashing out by McCain/Palin supporters.

McCain's Pants Are On Fire

This was in my devotional reading today so I guess I was a little sensitive to detecting liars.

Prov 26:23-28
23 Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross
Are burning lips and a wicked heart.
24 He who hates disguises it with his lips,
But he lays up deceit in his heart.
25 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him,
For there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Though his hatred covers itself with guile,
His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
27 He who digs a pit will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.
NASU

clipped from www.huffingtonpost.com On "Fox News Sunday," John McCain defended his use of nasty robocalls against Obama, telling host Chris Wallace that the calls are nothing like the ones used against him in the South Carolina 2000 primary. (In fact, McCain appears to be using the same firm as that smear campaign.) Asked if, in response to bipartisan condemnation, McCain would stop the calls, he replied, "Of course not." WALLACE: And you said the following: "I promise you I have never and will never have anything to do with that kind of political tactic." Now you've hired the same guy who did the robocalls against you to, reportedly, to do the robocalls against Obama and the Republican Senator Susan Collins, the co-chair of your campaign in Maine, has asked you to stop the robocalls. Will you do that? MCCAIN: Of course not.
