I also have my doubts about Obama - Hell, he is a politician. Anyway, as I wrote in an earlier post, the media are seldom doing the job they are paid to do:

“People [once] trusted journalists, and they trusted their newspapers and TV news shows to present them with the best information and the best analysis there was to be found, on the day. Now? Now, we’ve got those annoying, partisan talking heads, lazy pundits who just repeat whatever the spin doctors from all sides present them with. Even worse, when Obama merely says the word ‘Change’, about 33% of the press come in their collective pants. When Sarah Palin winks, grimaces and spouts inanities, another 33% get their orgasm on camera. While the other 33% of the press is too busy chasing yet another Paris Hilton story.”

I found that cover on Google pictures, when I was looking for something ‘appropriate’ (and it’s where I found that other, even more disgusting one. I felt that others should have the chance to see what kind of shit is out there, but couldn’t stomach to put it up in the column proper.)

Anyway, I would still say that Palin is playing a very dangerous game, playing the fear card the way she’s been doing lately - and the way she’s whipping up the masses, with already quite disgusting and worrying results, with attending supporters shouting ‘terrorist’ and ‘kill him’ and verbially abusing black media personnel.

So, yes, I meant to counter that with an image we are all only too familiar with - but I don’t think we should let her - and McCain! - get away with that kind of shit. People who are willing to risk to raise these old ghosts should be reminded of who went that route in the past, and with what results.

(I’m quite sure I never went to Pizza Hut, so I can’t judge their perceived need for ‘change’.)

Sorry to hear that Pizza Hut has to “Improve”.
