You are voting for the people around him. I think it’s great that some people think they can have a beer with Bush or his cabinet. I could probably be friends with some of those people myself, if it wasn’t for the last 3.5 years. But to be honest, I don’t want any of my current friends as POTUS (sorry guys and gals).

This is a Syrian internal conflict being played out in…
What’s wrong with CNN? [updated]
I have problems with CNN’s news coverage, but occasionally they do some things that really bother me. On American Morning, there was a story (between 9:50 AM and 10:00 AM) about the US Postal Service pulling it’s sponsorship of Lance Armstrong because an audit revealed they weren’t getting enough of a return on the investment. Jack Cafferty (sp?) says it’s because USPS is going to spend more time on “those Islamic stamp.” What stamps? What a non-sequitur! Was he making a cheap and acceptable shot at Muslims? Then he’s doing a segment where he solicits feedback on a topic, in…
