Wow. When you are pandering to become the next president of the U.S. of A. I guess “anything goes”.  Mr McCain has lost some more of that all important gray matter this week and appears to have taken on a “fuck it” mentality.

Hey guys, since the timing of this financial fiasco is going to plague my attempts to dupe the american people into voting for me, lets dupe the American people into voting for me!  You see, we’re going to  “stop” my campaign for a while.. no, no.. it’s just gonna be a few days at most.  Then Cindy and I are going to take a quick vacation.  It’s just a simple coincidence that we’ll be vacationing in DC.  And since I’ll be there anyway, I’m not coming back until our government agrees to my demands!  Then I’ll return to the campaign that I “postponed”, the people will worship me and I will be their omnipotent leader!!!  …oh shit.. gotta go debate!

A week-long photo-op at the time, of a national tragedy (following several others of sorts).  Political theater on an inappropriate stage. And it’s going to flop.

Politician…the new four-letter word.

Meanwhile, another bank fails and the change in my pocket will afford me less and less.  I say to all who will listen.  Take your money and get a safe… or some solid cardboard shoe box… and put your money there.  If it is going ot keep any value at all, it certainly will have more in your hand rather than in “the bank”.  If people in this country were smart, they’d start taking on a survivalist mentality.  At least to some degree.  If the collective whole of this country acted like we gave a damn, something close to a miracle could happen.  But instead, we are going to (you are going to.. I’m a “survivalists for dummies student” as we speak) drive the excessive amounts to get nowhere fast and then display intolerance at the price and the fat cats pockets unending swell.   Who is more to blame?  People like the incompetant Mr McCain, or us?
