Sorry, no other information yet, as this just happened literally seconds ago, but I'm watching the sentencing hearing and Dr. Tiller's murderer got life with a chance of parole in 50 years.

Just a little background on my grandfather....he's 90 years old and has been pretty racist towards basically anyone who's not white and Jewish all his life, especially African Americans. It seems like later in his life, it's gotten worse, and while he used to try to hide it and not make it so obvious, now he's got no problems throwing around the n-word and schvartze which is the Yiddish word for a black person, typically used in a derogatory manner. I don't know if he's just gotten meaner (and dare I say...bitter) later on in life, or if senility is kicking in. I have no idea, but either way, it's sad and unfortunate, and because of that (and other things, mainly family issues I won't get into. Long story) none of us really want to be around him, including me, so I never talk to him, especially about politics, so I was just going to concede 2 votes, one for him, and one for my grandma, to McCain, despite the fact we're in Missouri where every vote will count. Some things just aren't worth arguing over, especially with these two.

I know we all disagree with Barack Obama on FISA, but I challenge anyone to find a candidate they'll agree with 100% of the time on every single issue. It's just not going to happen.

There are going to be disagreements, and yes, I disagree with Obama on FISA. But to think from the start that I'd agree with the guy on everything is asinine. But I still agree with him on almost everything else and I still believe, that despite FISA, he will be one of the best presidents this country has had.

I had suggested this in a comment in another diary, but I'm making this a diary in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, someone who works for Comedy Central or either of the campaigns will read this and work to organize it. Long shot? Yes, but it will certainly get more exposure as it's own diary.

A debate between Obama and McCain moderated by Jon and Stephen is a must, and I'll explain why after the fold.

And I'll use this diary to give everyone a chance to share theirs. I figure this could be a good thread for some to vent, and for others to be entertained.

I'll start this off with my story. I had to run to the mall, I got what I needed and got back in my car, and as soon as I started it, this car full of people stops right behind me to let the passengers out. They're all still talking to each other, blocking me. I'm sitting there for a couple minutes waiting, but I don't care as I was messing with the radio, trying to find what I wanted to listen to. I normally fumble around with CDs while parked, as it's safer, and my car's a stick, so I need my right hand free for things more important than the radio. But after about 3 minutes, I had enough of this crap, so I put my car in reverse to turn the reverse lights on to send them a hint. I also open my window, not to say anything, but because it's getting warm. My car also has an Obama 08 bumper sticker, which is where things get interesting.

Sarah Palin moved my racist grandfather to the "Undecided" column

So, we all disagree with Obama on FISA, but.....

We need a Stewart/Colbert moderated debate
