So recently there has been talk about McCain and the misunderstanding of how many houses he owns.. or remembers owning.. or has combined into one home.. and you know what, whatever. Yeah it’s lame that he’s so rich he can lose track of the number of homes he has, but hell, he basically just buys those houses to create more jobs for Americans! Yes, you’ve heard me. Someone has to clean those houses, dontcha know! And I’ve seen reported on a few blogs now (I think originally from Politico, I don’t recall now) that the household employees last year were paid over a quarter million dollars. So there you go. Helping the economy.
..or something.

In other news, recently in the news they’ve been talking about the Democratic platform and whatnot. This interesting article by Steve Benen over at Crooks and Liars informs me that McCain isn’t even going to be taking part in drafting the Republican platform. Now there’s a candidate to believe in!

Also making the rounds today is the opinion that McCain is using the POW excuse for every situation gone wrong. I agree, he’s overusing it. It’s getting to the point that it just loses its meaning once people hear it all the time for the dumbest reasons. If he continued to use it anytime it actually _applied_ to the argument, it would still be effective. Now.. everyone seems to be feeling “give me a break, I know already.” I know that’s how I feel. Sigh, he once had so much respect, and then he turned into a weird little poppet. Methinks he shouldn’t have run for president this year.
