With that last question about what you don't know, I immediately thought McCain could answer "How many houses I own."
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

If McCain were my elderly relative, I would be very very worried for him and be on the horn to the other relatives trying to call a family conference to make sure he gets a clean bill of health from a doctor we trust.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In terms of the undecided racists, not nice, but not surprising. Satisfy your hatred and fear, or override it to save your ass? I would not bet either way on how someone both crazy enough to have the dilemma, and rational enough to see the dilemma will go.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

This supports my theory as to why the Neos have accepted "Maverick" McCain as one of their own. He's still electable and now he's controllable.

I love the racist undecided voters story.
So many people move past their prejudices when they actually get to know someone of the despised group. It would be interesting to see that effect on a Presidential scale.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Is it possible McCain used the term because he could not remember Senator Obama's name?
well, if that is the case, better what he said then what I say when a name doesn't coem to me in the moment - I call people noodle or monkey.
ION, someone linked to that library last week (SKIPPER!), I think it was Sue.

“Not dead yet!”
I don't get why people still assume it.
Me neither. We kid about Abby a bit of a whoops, since she's only fifteen months younger than Nate, but it wasn't because we didn't know the possibility to get pregnant while I was breastfeeding didn't exist. It was more of the, "Well, it took us over a year to get pregnant with Nate, what's the likelihood of it happening right away this time?"
That sound you heard was Mother Nature laughing her ass off.
Admittedly, I didn't get pregnant while breastfeeding, but about three minutes after I finished weaning Nate.
