I wonder if the good people of Illinois are feeling particularly well-served these days. Sen. John McCain is, in a radical act of conscience and adult responsibility, actually doing the job for which he was elected by the farsighted people of Arizona. He is trying to save our collection of current generations from experiencing a Great Depression of our very own.

All the while the narcissistic Sen. Barack Obama is gleefully on the campaign trail prancing around in the spotlight as the serious threat of economic disaster is staring us in the face.

Quite a guy, that Sen. Obama. A real man of paper-thin resume and good judgment. I hope at least someone can sleep easy knowing that he might be our next commander in chief. I’m reaching for a tranquilizer myself.
