Maybe you saw this new Barack Obama advertisement wherein Sen. John McCain is considered out of touch because he does not know how to use a computer or send email.
Apparently, nearly all of this is just plain false -- and incredibly stupid! Did you hear? Well, you can read this if you'd like, or this.
Of course, in the magic age of YouTube, you get this quick retort:
Whoever is running Barack Obama's campaign should be fired. Wait. Barack Obama IS running his campaign: He "approves this message." How wonderfully ironic, especially since he compared his executive experience -- he has executed a campaign -- to Governor Sarah Palin's experience -- as a mayor! Hear Barack Obama speak to Anderson Cooper:
The laughs will not stop! Barack Obama may very well be executing his campaign -- right before our eyes.
“My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla [sic], has I think 50 employees. We've got 2500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe 12 million dollars a year – we have a budget of about three times that just for the month.”

Here's quite the quote from a 2000 Forbes magazine article about that year's political campaigns:
In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate's savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. "She's a whiz on the keyboard, and I'm so laborious," McCain admits.©2008. All rights reserved.

russ you could not be more right. Of course now bill will dissect your grammer or one sentence and derive some totally obscure reasoning why you are wrong. It is what he always does. My main problem with bill is that he doesnt consider the facts and then come to a conclusion. He sides with the conservatives right off the bat and then looks for reasons to justify the position.
Bill someday I hope you can at least entertain the idea that you are incorrect about something. Not in a pompous fake kind of way but a genuine admitting that you have been wrong in the past about something you have said or done.
Mr. Gnade,
I have never left your blog unimpressed. I commend you in your work.
Bill I have thought long on the comments you have received and I felt led to remind you of these verses John 15:20-21, from a Gnady fan!!
Dear J and CP (and your pluckish pseudonyms),
Thanks for the brilliantly cowardly comments! Indeed, if green IS ever bouncy, then the plebeian is also a pedestrian on yesterday's burning ice cube -- all to spite the morrow's nose! Exactly!
Even Noam Chomsky laughs from beneath piles of debunked lettuce. Can't you hear? The silence screams in powers of ten or three, yet all that's heard is naught but the rustle of a fallen straw man struggling to its bewildered and well-mowed feet. Detritus and Demosthenes pitch the fork to Plato, but he crushes it out of the track.
In deed and in milk, clarity becomes an inconvenient blunderbuss. The projectionist missed the cue ball in the corner pocket, and scratch goes the barnyard birds.
The Pendragon is not my friend, but he sees your vapidity, and he smiles, knowing how Envy wrings its gnarled mitts.
Thanks again for confirming my exact imprecision with your leveled slant. I shall correct the grapes presently, and call you soon on the thermostat.
