Stump me, break me.
It will be a long campaign.
Strap on a flag lapel pin.
Pack gunpowder and dirt.
Toss another one, stroke my vocabulary.
My free world is a chemically-sustained erection.
Mortgage my breath, borrow my blood.
Tell me your tales, sing me my song.
Tell me again who hates us.

Thanks Jack, Cecil, Dino..
The United States of America is still an ambitious, capable nation built on noble precepts (though too often manifestly flawed in practice it seems), and it is a helluva great place to live compared to so many other places around the world, but why do I get the feeling that our politicians are selling the farm, piece by piece? And don't get me started on mainstream media coverage of the key issues in this campaign. (What coverage?)

Maybe. And Exxon too. And Hellybutton. Cheney's stock portfolio, probably. And how 'bout those never-ending zillion dollar Big Oil profits? Doesn't that amount to greed-based economic rape? Nice, huh? Real patriotic to the cause. Where is the inquiry, the outcry? Ohh no no no, only some cantankerous black preacher is the real national threat and worthy of air time... Sheesh.
Well, whatever's going on, it isn't propping up MY banking system...
I'm just throwing a few darts at rampant, large-scale BushKo-style corporate welfare and giganto-mungus oil company profits, quarter after quarter after quarter, while gas prices shoot toward the moon and cripple the economy. What are they doing with all that money?? And what about the incredible shrinking dollar? How much longer can the banking system prop up that buck with all of this red ink flowing so freely?

''What are they doing with all that money?? And what about the incredible shrinking dollar?"
...all that money.... shrinking dollar... making it necessary for 'someone' to gain more and more to compensate for that shrinking $$$.
"How much longer can the banking system prop up that buck with all of this red ink flowing so freely?"
exactly... add to that the gas prices and the food prices. the world stability is stretched (or is wound up) tightly and will have to find release at some point, within our lifetime i fear...

.. just thought of a (geologic) sort of (high desert?) analogy...
World (tectonic) stability is wound up so tightly and will have to find release at some point, hopefully not in one giant cataclysmic event. Hopefully all of those fault-based west coast earthquakes of the past twenty years or so of my sporadic attention, and the recent cluster of tremors in the Reno area for weeks on end, may provide just enough release and forestall the big one.
