I watched a recorded copy of the third presidential debate yesterday. I was shocked. I have not read or heard anything about it but, I would put a large amount of money on McCain being on some sort of speed. His actions and reactions were that of someone who was pumped full of something. His tongue and eyes gave the impression of someone who was borderline out-of-control. 

When you look at his inability to stay still, his constant interruptions, and strange faces, anyone who has tried any form of speed, will tell you he was on something. I wish I could see his pupils better. If you contrast McCain to Obama you can see a visibly hyper McCain. 

BTW. If you ever want to download youtube videos, you can. 

Drag this GET YOUTUBE VIDEO to your bookmark bar . When you are on a video you want to keep,  simply click on the bookmark and then right-click where it says download as Mp4. Simple!

I just sat down, on the couch, with a cold glass of Estrella, a Spanish beer brewed in Barcelona. 

The amount of hatred perpetuated by the McCain/Palin team is fascinating. 

Here we have the results of 8 years of failed policy. People are hurting. Two + wars being waged, economy in the crapper…  More will be hurting as time goes on. People have a ton of repressed anger building up inside of them. Now we have two ‘mavericks’ who are literally hosting hate rallies across the US. And who do they hate?  ”That guy!” 

Now wait a minute. They do not get to get angry. They wanted this. They voted for the people who did this! They have no right to be angry. None. 

Is it possible to teach morons that their pain is self inflicted?

Gotta love this. Look how far, we frogs in a frying pan, have come. 

I was over at reddit and discovered something written in 1955 my Milton Mayer. Reading this excerpt from his book, They Thought They Were Free,  should send an icy chill through the spines of anyone living in the USA right now.

I still have faith that the US will come through. It might be messy,   but a mess is required in order to appreciate the clean-up. Ligi might describe the mess as ‘the bomb’. Others may describe the mess as a revolution of citizen involvement and change. Things like impeachment and changing laws would be included. Others may call the mess a real violent revolt against the government. In any case, a mess will have to be made and then be cleaned up. 

 I urge even the most reluctant readers to read this excerpt. It foretells of what it was like in Germany as fascism took hold of the country. Now, most Americans, myself included, think that that could never happen in the good ‘ol USA. But remember, the Germans were a lot like us. They were a democracy, dealing with problems and regain its status as a great country.
