I really don't have much to say today, if you haven't already noticed. I think a lot of the McCain campaign's actions over the last few days speak for themselves--welcoming cries of "terrorist!" and "kill him!" from their crowds when mentioning Obama, stirring up supporters against the media. Do I really need to say anything?

How about this? Our nation is in the deepest financial crisis since the Great Depression. Unemployment is at 6.1% and we lost 160,000 jobs last month (and counting). We are waging two wars, losing one against a group that actually attacked us, and possibly never leaving the second, a misdirected front at best. 47 million people in this country do not have healthcare. American students rank 17 out of 30 industrialized nations in math and science. We are paying $4 a gallon for gasoline with no real plausible solution for energy independence. Arctic sea ice shrank to its lowest level ever last month, threatening the makeup of our planet as we know it.

Should I go on?
