Well, the eleven o'clock news show I was watching in Boston missed the "Nader not let in the building" news, but they sure got a lot of burbling idiots from the bars to comment on either the game or the debate.

George W. lost any chance of getting my vote when the news broke through about that entire year of missed National Guard drills years ago. I was in the Air National Guard for seventeen years, and if Bush could produce one pay stub from that year, then I might believe that he actually reported for duty. Talk about a character flaw! I'll take a politician who's caught breaking a technical rule to raise money (in a system where money is vitally necessary to any campaign) over a guy who just couldn't be bothered to show up for duty just because he couldn't play with the fun toys.

And somehow I just can't see the country benefiting from having a president who can't handle detailed numbers...
