Just wondering...

So far I've been lucky, but who knows what will happen if the housing/credit problems persist.

Not really the time nor the place, but do you realized that part of your username(AAV711) is a name of an amphibious transport used by the Marines since the 70s? (The AAV7 AMTRAC) Just wondering.

Our country is mired in two endless wars, the economy is in the toilet, and all we are able to talk about today is if Obama using the common phrase "lipstick on a pig," is a sexist attack on Palin. Not our proudest moment. For my part, I really don't have time to listen to fake outrage from the party that brought you Swiftboating and whisper campaigns about what religion Obama belongs to. Oh and Governor Palin, before you pretend you are outraged and offended, try going out without a chaperone.

Politics in a nutshell, or I guess to be more precise, the free media. Anything for a story, even if it causes more harm than good.

Once again, can we please have robust debate about policy? 
What are both parties going to do about the appalling state of health care and education for instance?

What I meant was that MrZ seems to think that the ignorance and bigotry that has taken over this nation is beyond control and that there is no more hope for this country. Like Star Wars IV, we need a new hope.
