Why won't the GOP let me give them $60,000?

I want to give it to them. I want this desperately. Not right away, to be sure, but someday, in exchange for the right to talk to my doctor about end-of-life care. In fact, $60,000 seems low -- we could be talking more -- almost free for the asking.

And what do I get in return? A vile, forwarded e-mail from my right-wing uncle spewing hate, fear and paranoia.

What kind of thanks is that?

I am generally a huge supporter of the public schools. My kids attend them, I volunteer to help, I even go to some of the meetings. I like teachers and think they do a difficult job, often with inadequate resources. Our school system is considered pretty good, if relatively uninspired. Until yesterday, I was committed to keeping my kids enrolled and try to provide an extra spark of curiosity and wonder during the hours they spend at home.

Now I'm not so sure . . .

Meet me below the fold as we try to guess just who "those guys in long, black robes" might be!

As a life-long (it seems) Obamanut, I've been perplexed about how someone could possibly be undecided at this point in this election. The contrasts to me seem stark and desperate -- only if you lived in a cave could you not know, at least deep down, which America you want to wake up in Wednesday morning.

But last night, I started to understand what the trouble was for at least one anguished voter, and found a way to win her over . . .(there's more)

One of the creepiest moments in the recent Obama/McCain debate was McCain's insistence that he and General David Petraeus were good friends -- really, really good friends for a really, really long time.

(OK, so his even-longer, deeper friendship with Kissinger was creepier, but let's leave that for another day.)

I wish I'd been in Petraeus' living room that night to see his reaction. McCain seemed just like the sweaty, gross, drunk guy at the bar who won't stop winking and making kissy faces at you even after you've asked him to stop . . .

Ewwww.

Does Petraeus Have A McCain Problem?
