Lazy post

Pardon my lack of energy... It's been a difficult day, hearing that Navy beat Stanford in the home opener (shut up, Victor). I think I'm just doomed as a sports fan. Ahh, I'll always have swimming, water polo, volleyball, golf, and some basketball :D Plus, unlike a certain evil school bedecked in gold and blue, we have a much smaller student body which = smaller athlete population.

Anyway, I mentioned that I've seen the CA Dems' ad against Schwarzenegger, which basically found no fault with the governor besides his support of the President back in 2004. Okay, back in 2004, even John Kerry couldn't decide whose side he was on... As much as I'd like to support the democrats, I felt that they could've proved themselves as better than this petty politics game.

A review of dozens of campaign commercials finds that Mr. Bush has become the star of the Democrats’ advertisement war this fall. He is pictured standing alone and next to Republican senators and members of Congress, his name intoned by ominous-sounding announcers. Republican candidates are damned in the advertisements by the number of times they have voted with Mr. Bush in Congress.

Not surprisingly, given that Mr. Bush’s job approval rating continues to hover around 40 percent, it is hard to spot the president in any of the Republican advertisements that were reviewed. In what may be taken as an indication of changing Republican tastes, Senator John McCain of Arizona is popping up everywhere.


It is, however, immensely and endlessly amusing to see how the Republicans are withdrawing from their Commander-in-Chief. Or as SNL so misconstrued it- Meandering-Thief.
