Journal / thanks to everyone who came to degenerates on thursday

thanks to everyone who came to degenerates on thursday night and the little
death show on saturday night.
hopefully everyone’s fully recovered.
i’m taking a sort-of news-fast, but i just checked the election news to see that in the last week:

1-john mccain confused the army with the national guard
2-got confused about his running mates children
3-confused his running mate(palin)with his opponent(obama)
4-confused the sec with the fec
5-got further confused about who hires/fires the head of the sec
6-called the economy ‘fundamentally strong’ when wall street had it’s biggest
crisis in a generation

add this to his earlier confusion about sunni vs. shi’ite and his confusion
about the country of czechoslovakia(which hasn’t been a country for 15 years).

do you see a pattern?
confusion.
it’s dangerous to pretend that john mccain’s age isn’t an issue. he’s not a bad guy.
he’s a war hero. he’s got a good sense of humor. but he’s showing potential signs
of dementia and early-onset alzheimer’s(memory loss, confusion, irrational outbursts, rage, etc).
regardless of one’s party alliance i really don’t know how anyone can make the case that the united states
would be well served by a president with dementia/early-onset alzheimers and a vice-president
who has only left north america once in her life and who believes that dinosaurs
and humans co-existed.
