Thursday Stuff

So "Governor Hottie" screws up the name of the commander of our forces in Afghanistan AND manages to lie about what he supposedly said about our COIN strategy (here)? I'm sorry, but please don't ask me a question about that, or I'll answer something else instead...



...yep, sure; just don't vote (may need to crank the volume a bit - Palin actually could've used that line about Darfur during the debate)...



...ready for a look at the monetary cost of the Iraq war? Neither am I, but here it is anyway...



...and BRUUUUCE is coming to town for Obama (details here - check out "Lonesome Day" on "Letterman").

I'm reminded of the film
"The Candidate". Worth watching again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Candidate_(1972_film)
excerpt:
"It has been reported that upon viewing the film, Dan Quayle came to the conclusion that he was more handsome than Robert Redford, and that he would be well equipped to win a campaign to enter the White House [9]. Ironically, the future vice-president of the United States, perhaps inadvertently, highlights one of the themes of the piece – that no matter the ideology or interests of the candidate, the business of political campaigning is driven by image."

You betcha.
