It's not all that complicated, folks.
John McCain wants to change DC, Barack Obama wants to change America.
One candidate believes in and cares about this country, one doesn't.
It's your vote. Make it count.

Bill's Nibbles, Open Post
Contributed by Bill Faith

Today at Bill's Bites:

  • Indefinite light blogging (Way lighter even than most days, I hope. My ex is in the area and has my grandson, whom I haven't seen in just over a year, with her. They're supposed to come by this afternoon but I don't know for how long.)

Some things worth knowing about that I didn't devote separate posts to:

  • Attaboy, AP
    Jules Crittenden (H/T):  I don’t know what got into the AP.  They had some perfectly good mosque bombings to lede with, and they bury that to focus in undisparaging fashion on U.S. and Iraqi forces kicking al-Qaeda ass from Baqouba to Baghdad, with the help of erstwhile Sunni insurgents.
  • Vice President Steele?
    Lorie Byrd (H/T): Even though the 2008 presidential campaign is in full swing, I have not heard a lot of talk about who the most likely vice presidential candidates will be. So far that talk has been largely limited to discussion of the second (and third) tier presidential hopefuls who have been getting exposure through the debates. I expect my favorite though, Michael Steele, will be getting plenty of VP buzz as the election nears. ...
  • A stunningly dishonest piece of advocacy writing about the Supreme Court
    Bookworm: In an earlier post, I pointed out how much more informative talk radio is than its MSM counterparts (including NPR), because the former has a discursive, adversarial style that allows ideas to be developed and aired, while the latter works within a tight format aimed at pushing a specific (usually political) viewpoint. Occasionally, though, even the narrow MSM format is insufficient to repel an opposing viewpoint, and those situations see the media plunge into outright dishonesty. ...
  • Gallup Poll: Flower or Coffin?
    Bruce Kesler: H.L Mencken said, “A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.” I choose to look at the Gallup poll of the low and falling public repute of most of our public institutions as a “flower,” from which a better state of governance may grow. ...
