This is Why America is Broken

From This is Why America is Broken – From “Now on PBS”

Dear Lady,

God gave us brains so we could use them. Look at the facts, and feel in your heart what God really wants you to do. Use your head and heart to find him, and don’t just blindly follow what other humans have laid down. God’s there, but I’m not sure that you’re actually speaking to him. Are you sure the God you speak of isn’t the devil in disguise?

Dear Lady’s Husband,

Get out of that house while you still can.

“Nuclear Nonsensense”

From CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Nuclear Nonsense by Neil Steinberg

The most recent nuclear power plant to go online in the United States was the Watts Bar station in Tennessee, which started producing power in 1996, a scant 23 years after construction began.

Thus John McCain’s debate claim that, as president, he would somehow push through the construction of 45, count ‘em, 45 new nuclear plants without worrying about where they’d be placed or what we’d do with the radioactive waste drew quite a response, at least in me (“There hasn’t been a nuclear reactor built in 30 years!” I shouted at the TV).

A few days later, I found myself having lunch with a pal who works at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and I asked him what he thinks of McCain’s plan.

“No way,” he said. “He’s crazy. We’ll be lucky to build two nuclear plants in the next 10 years, and that’ll cost $18 billion.”

I’m all for boldness. But claiming you’ll solve our energy problems by spending money we don’t have on nuclear plants that won’t be built, well, that isn’t bold, it’s deceptive.

Alfred E. Smith Memorial “Roast”

The 63rd annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner provided a lot of laughs. The dinner is an event organized by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York to help children in need.  John McCain and Barack Obama each took turns “roasting” each other. McCain was surprisingly funny and very kind to Obama. I hate to say it but if McCain had showed more of this side of himself he would probably be doing a lot better off. Obama was just… well… perfect. Due to youtube time constraints the videos are embedded sequentially in 4 parts below. Enjoy!

Finally McCain does the right thing by announcing to supporters that Americans do not need to be SCARED of Barack Obama. Two very disturbing clips of pre rally McCain supporters surfaced today. Some of these people sound as if they’re one more false fact away from attempting to carry out a full fledged lynching. It’s scary and very sad. I do not particularly care for the tactics used by the men who filmed these clips and so I didn’t initially post. In light of McCain’s statements seen in the clip above I decided to post the “pre rally clip” links directly below.

Other Views from The Chicago Sun Times’ Roger Ebert

I do not like you, John McCain. My feeling has nothing to do with issues. It has to do with common courtesy. During the debate, you refused to look Barack Obama in the eye. Indeed, you refused to look at him at all. Even when the two of you shook hands at the start, you used your eyes only to locate his hand, and then gazed past him as you shook it.

What is the better leadership quality: (1) Willingness to listen to your opponent, and keep an open mind? (2) Rigidly ignoring him? Which of the two of you better demonstrated the bipartisan spirit you say you represent? Was there anything he said that you agreed with? Could you have brought yourself to say so?
