Every politician — even Saint Barack Obama — is only as honest as we force him to be.
The 2008 presidential election tends to trigger my gag reflex. Corporate America must love how docile we have all become. While they fill Washington with lobbyists arguing over actual policy we sit in our homes listening to uninformed network anchors, whose journalism credentials leave Pulitzer turning in his grave, arguing over which is worse: racism, sexism, or disrespect of the elderly.
