FAB rundown (particularly commentary). They’re like scared rats leaping off a ship, imagining it’s sinking just because it’s changed direction. This is really so defensive and reactionary, as much as it appears assertive and preventive. CA has really, really scared them.

I can only roll my eyes at the vast majority of this and go back to praying daily that their done is done.

I remain perplexed by the misunderstanding of most people about where McCain stands on the issues. He’s so very clear, and so very clearly not moderate.

He is 100% in line with the platform, including creationism in schools.

Because seriously, being able to recite Genesis will make our children very competitive in the global marketplace.

You missed that plank because David Vitter borrowed it for role-playing…
