There is that classic line from "Pulp Fiction": "I'm gonna get Medieval on your ass!" That could be John McCain's campaign slogan. Here is a man who used to be humble about his military service, now he beats us over the head with it. Here is a man who used to not be a war monger, now he is desperate to get us into any and all wars possible. What does McCain have to offer our nation? Zero.

McCain's time has past. His only real shot at the Presidency was in 2000 when he let Bush walk all over him. And, since then, he has bowed at King George's feet, completely supporting the eternally insane Iraq War. McCain's temper is legendary. He blows his top at the drop of a hat.

Does this remind you of anyone? How about Bob Dole? Yes, McCain is our generation's Bob Dole: angry, past his prime, has no ideas that will help our nation, and is essentially inert. McCain will meet the exact same fate as Dole. He will appeal to only those Republicans who only want a Republican in the White House. Anyone else will not really consider McCain as a choice for President.

John, you're too late, and you don't have a shot. Just pack your bags and go back to the Senate. There, the only people who will have to put up with you are those who watch C-SPAN.

This evening's CNN YouTube Republican Debate was certainly lively! To my mind, the YouTube questions are often more gutsy and cutting than those asked by debate moderators.

Here are my impressions of tonight's debate, running from the substantive to the sarcastic (big surprise!):

Okay, I'm not quite there yet, but I am getting to the point where I could trust other nations more than the United States. Isn't that messed up?!

What's the difference between the way New Orleans was treated after Katrina vs. the way California is being treated during the fires? Simple, it's black vs. white.

Today, we can see again what Britain gets for being a staunch ally of Bush. They get home-grown terrorists, bombings, and more terrorist plots.

You have to wonder what exactly are the benefits of hitching yourself to George W. It's like when you consider making an investment or major purchase. You look at the pros and the cons. We all know what the cons are: your people become a target for terrorists, and you breed your own terrorist cells.

So, what are the benefits? Ummmmm, well, uhhhh, okay not many. Blair has sold out his people so he can cozy up on Bush's lap. Tony is like any other man in power, he wants to more power himself, and be closer to those who have even more power. Read More

Slender songstress Katharine McPhee disappeared for weeks, supposedly stricken with laryngitis. She missed weeks of the "American Idol" tour, to the dismay of many fans. She said she was sick, even though she managed to show up at photo shoots and other scheduled appearances.

But, now, she's back! And just in time for Bush. Yes, McPhee just happened to get "better" in time for her big meeting with the Big W. himself. Interesting timing, isn't it?

She, and the other "American Idol" contestants, will be meeting with butthead, I mean, our glorious leader, today. Which, of course, will be a big story, even as The Middle East slowly burns to the ground. Hey, with a story this big, why not replace "NBC Nightly News" this evening with "Entertainment Tonight?!"

Hasn't America Done Enough for Israel?

The Israeli Government has too much influence over The United States Government and its politicians. Our government seems all too willing to give into what they want. Our politicians seem more concerned with the Israeli Government than they are with the United States and its people.

The current conflict between Israel and Hezbollah illustrates this. We all know that Hezbollah has been waiting for a war with Israel. But, so has Israel. Honestly, is the kidnapping of two soldiers a reason to bomb the hell out of Lebanon? This is supposed to be one of the burgeoning Arab democracies Bush is pulling for. Now, Lebanon has been set back at least 20 years, and may have its chances to be a vibrant nation forever crushed.

Our government has stood idly by while Israel has had free rein in this conflict. There was a time (when Democrats ran things!) that Presidents like Carter and Clinton gave all of their energies to bringing peace to the region. Now, nothing. Just a House Resolution saying that we support Israel (duh!) and Condoleezza Rice cooling her heels at the Starbucks. It is a different era, isn't it? Read More
