Sorry for the short diary but i just saw a graphic on MSNBC stating that McCain will accept the nomination at "10:11 ET/9:11 CT"

Is this a coincidence or is Rudy in charge of the scheduling?

Honestly i've noticed the combination of 9 and 11 many places since that horrible day and it always gets a double-take. I feel like i see it at least a couple times a week on a random perusal of a digital clock - be it my alarm clock or computer's clock. I'm not superstitious and i'm sure it's just one of those things where you only start to notice something when it imprints itself on your memory.

But the Repubs' track record of abusing that date and day for political purposes is quite impressive.

I'm disgusted.

Sorry for the brevity of this entry but it seemed so enormous in my head this morning that I couldn't relegate it to an open thread.

On NPR this morning, I heard McCain's remarks from yesterday. Specifically:

"Those who disregard the unmistakable progress we have made in the last year and the terrible consequences that would ensue were we to abandon our responsibilities in Iraq have chosen another road."

My brain hurts when i imagine his limited definition of the word CONSEQUENCES. Because most of the CONSEQUENCES he warns of are just that - warnings of what COULD happen.

I'll list what COULD happen (without refute for this diaries purposes and because, frankly, much of this is already happening):

A little heat was generated recently by news that Robert Rubin would be addressing the freshman Dems in the House without the presence of Labor.

Well, Phoenix Woman ably squelched the flames here

The overriding theme of intelligent design seems to be that "life is too complex to have evolved on its own, therefore it must have been guided by a supernatural force."

Since the "debate" began I, like most proponets of evolution, start to get caught up in the details...arguments about the evidence for evolution, the disguising of creationism, separation of church and state, legal improprieties in the Dover case, etc.

But I recently had an epiphany.

I went back to that argument about complexity and came to the realization that this is all about ego.
