That's what I'm talking about. Bailing me out!

oh, jeez, Aims ... what've you done now?

It's what I *could* do if I get to NYC.

My political f-you moment this morning was when I heard on NPR that McCain had written off all of Republican Palin's critics as "Georgetown cocktail party people."

You know what, FUCKO? All those "regular Americans" you keep talking about? Some of them have opinions, too. And yes, sometimes those opinions are not favorable. Seriously, dude. STFU.

It's like he's TRYING to alienate his guaranteed voters. I say go ahead, old man. Go ahead.

Stephanie, what I'm talking about was a while ago and I'm fuzzy on the details. There was an Obama ad, I believe, about McCain being out of touch with the world we live in now and finished up with a line, "why, he's never even sent an e-mail". A McCain spokesman said that McCain could not use a computer because of a war wound. I can't remember when, who, etc. - I remember being surprised no one here commented on it, but I've been swamped with work and skipping and skimming a lot.

McCain campaign did claim his war wound prevents him using computers. But there are photo's of him using a Blackberry. (He does not own one, but borrow's his kids.) He has admitted in interviews that he just never learned about browsing, and modern email. (Interesting that the Blackberry is intuitive enough that he can use one if he is as computer ignorant as he claims.) He said that Cindy and the kids are slowly easing him into using computers. So the whole war injury excuse is bullshit. (And if it were true there is all sorts of adaptive technology out there that would let him use the computer. Heck, I wrote a book during a period when I was using one hand. And no one says he has to spend hours per day. Spend 15 minutes a day sorting through email your staff has pre-checked so you are only dealing with the emails you need to. Or heck, if you already know how to use a Blackberry, buy yourself one. Go ahead, as a multi-millionaire you can afford one.

Yeah, I wasn't trying exactly to defend him. Just that I'd heard that he did have an injury that impedes the use of one of his arms.

ION, I'm watching these videos this morning for work. They are all interviews with victims of domestic violence. It is so depressing and really hard to watch.

Well, I'm pretty sure that there are things available that could make his use of a computer possible. I mean, don't people who have no arms use computers? (I mean, obviously, with additional technology. .. which McCain can surely afford.)

"He can't use a computer because he was a POW" is one of the more valid mentionings of his being a POW. I find it refreshing.
