More News and Interviews

Two posts in two days, no way! I know, you are speechless. Anyway, I thought I would correct a comment I made last night with another post. I have learned that Palin has now in fact done 3 interviews, as I recently learned of an interview by Katie Couric on CBS Evening News. I will embed it below. Beware, she is as dimwitted and shortsighted as ever.

Wow, horrific. She has this Manichaean way of looking at the world with specific "good guys" and "bad guys" that reminds me so much of George W. Bush. I have news for you Sarah Palin, it's not always that simple. And I'm not saying that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is necessarily a reasonably thinking individual either, or that we shouldn't keep an eye on what Iran is doing, but when you demonize something in the way that Palin has been doing it often has a way of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy (see Iraq circa 2003). So for that, I am frightened. Also, I am pleased to see that she is still referencing her proximity to Russia as foreign policy experience. I would have thought she would want to get as far away as possible from that statement since everyone else in the world sees it as a joke.

But, there is good news today for the election as well. News outlets have reported this morning that John McCain has agreed to participate in tonight's debate! I for one am pumped for some candidate on candidate action. I can't wait to see what goes down tonight. Also, after my shock from last night at the tie in the polls, this morning Barack Obama is back ahead 48% to 45%. Whew. That was close.

OK, smell you later dudes.
