That's John McCain's new slogan. It makes me think of the savings and loan scandal and that Keating scandal.

How unfortunate.

And what of Sarah Palin, who's a big fan of forced pregnancy and has a bit of crap on her shoes. So much for the big corruption reformer.

But here's the clincher: She's a staunch creationist, meaning that she doesn't believe in science.

So she's all for:

Government controlled reproduction.

Government enforced religion.

Government enforced personal agendas.

How appealing.

But wait, she's a woman! Oh, I'm supposed to vote for her because she's a woman! Oh, silly me!

Update: Josh Orton has some thoughts on this slogan.

Hillary has never been so appealing as she has during this Democratic National Convention. Her speech last night was sensational. Her motion to declare by acclamation Barack Obama the nominee was noble, and a powerful gesture given the potential split among progressives.

What's sad is how, by contrast, it highlights just how awful her campaign was. Really one of the worst-run campaigns I have seen in my short life.

May she become the new lioness of the Senate!

If you've been watching the cable news bobbleheads, what comes through loud and clear is that they are very afraid of this ticket. Their attempts to dismiss Joe Biden smell like fear. Their claims that somehow Hillary Clinton would have been a stronger choice seem to point up that they would have rather run against an Obama-Clinton ticket.

But Obama-Biden? The Republicans are afraid.

John McCain is increasingly confused and angry on television. Who is he going to choose as his running mate? An exorcist? A man who the state should impose religion "in the public square"? One thing for sure: The McCain ticket will be big on state-controlled pregnancy.

That's how many times richer John McCain is than Barack Obama. And yet McCain claims Obama is the one who's too rich and out of touch?

John McCain's confusion continues. No wonder he doesn't even know how many homes he owns.

John McCain says:

"Let me be very clear, I am not questioning his patriotism, I am questioning his judgement. Senator Obama has made it clear he values withdrawal from Iraq above victory in Iraq.

"He has made these decisions not because he doesn't love America but because he doesn't thinks it matters whether American wins or loses."

Yeah, that makes sense. Right, John. Ramble on.

Meanwhile, as McCain talks about the Iraq surge ("That's what this is about! That's what this is about!"), Barack Obama offers a reality check, pointing out that we should focus on the Taliban, sponsors of al Qaeda and co-sponsors of 9/11.

"As commander-in-chief, I will have no greater priority than taking out these terrorists who threaten America, and finishing the job against the Taliban," Obama said.

He said he would add two U.S. combat brigades, 7,000 fighters and support staff, and would provide an additional $1 billion in non-military assistance for Afghanistan....

..."Six years ago, I stood up at a time when it was politically difficult to oppose going to war in Iraq, and argued that our first priority had to be finishing the fight against Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan,'' he said. "Senator McCain was already turning his sights to Iraq just days after 9/11, and he became a leading supporter of an invasion and occupation of a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks."

Do you, dear reader, really thing that this election is about a tactical surge in Iraq that happened last year?
