Oh man, picking Hillary would be pure evil genius.
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

I agree with the above sentiment, but wish to state for the record that I don't think even Hillary would be shameless enough to accept.

Please let it be Giuliani.
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

Re: So ... any guesses about McCain's running mate?
IIRC, McCain didn't say much about his POW experience in the 2000 election season. He's sure flogging it like crazy this year, though.
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

I could see Guiliani helping McCain out. People still like him, and he's been out of the spotlight long enough where any recent dirt would be hard to dig.

That's because a POW experience pales in comparison to someone who served in the national guard!
