I'm much more attractive online.
You were expecting someone svelte and cutsie behind all this insight and wit? Perish THAT thought!

Well, the svelte part, anyway.

From politics (moderates who lean to the right) to Pogo (drools during poker stare) to rants (Whatcha expect from savvy, sassy sexagenarians?) to raves (Have you had your kudo today?) -- we never take ourselves too seriously.

We do, however, reserve the right to slaughter an occasional sacred cow. And in case we fail to mention it -- we will never forget....

McCain and National Security: On Golden Pond

The Detroit News is likely priming its readers for a McCain endorsement, if the story line it ran today is any indictor ....

John McCain made innumerable false and misleading statements about Mitt Romney's positions and credentials on several issues, including national security.  Granted, McCain's criticisms were made in a campaign speech, but I'm wondering if he will be asked to defend these claims in a debate? 

And on that thought --

What specific experience has McCain had in national security?  He crashed planes; he broke under VC pressure; he commanded a state-side Navy squad; he crooned his solution to Iran by altering the Beach Boys' "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" lyrics; he's been in the Senate 20+ years. 

Impressive. 

Sitting in on briefings is hardly "experience" or evidence of decision-making.

Mitt speaks fluently on issues that McCain only blabbers about.  IMO -- securing the 2002 Olympics would be more "experience" than any briefing McCain may have ever attended.

If there's a remake of "On Golden Pond," John McCain should audition.  He'd be perfect as Norman Thayer. 

Plus, he's already a loon ....
