  No, that tells you about the mentality of the crowds. And if that is your measure, you should elect Madonna or Britney Spears for president.

  Really, WilliB? In that case Britney Spears has come a long way since she said this in 2003:

  Spears: "I think we should just trust…

  Of course not, some14some. It's all earmarked for those "small and medium-sized enterprises" the LDP are so desperate to suck up to, in spite of most of them being useless money-losers.

  Seeing this reminds me of the famous words of wisdom uttered by that great Republican icon, Ronald Reagan:

  I'm not surprised they're cautious. Even if the LDP wins I'd say they have no hope of retaining that 2/3 majority they need to stop the upper house blocking bills. If that doesn't cause the party to implode I don't know what will.

  I know this is from a British newspaper, The Times of London, but it's owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owns FOX News. I find it quite amusing:

  He's had a month to get cracking on his "bright and cheerful Japan" agenda and he doesn't have much to show for it.

  Of course, there is no comparison. At this point, the liberal main stream media is simply part of the Obama presidential campaign. They don't even pretend to be unbiased.

  Why should they if they're liberal? But there are plenty of papers that have supported conservative policies in the past, like…

  "Even if Obama wins, I'll never call him Mr. President. I'll call him "The Community Agonizer."

  Well, if it makes you feel any better. You're not hoping that this nickname you've come up with will catch on, are you? But I gather that "Mr. President" is a second person form…

  Hey, what's wrong with spending $22,800 in 2 weeks for make-up? Sarah Palin is a celebrity. The biggest celebrity in the world, comparable to Tom Cruise, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

  Very true. But they're spending their own money on wardrobes and stylists, not campaign donors'.

  Meanwhile, the mainstream media ignores the illegal millions Obama is getting from overseas donors.

  (Yawn) There are plenty of conservative papers and TV stations that would be all over this story if it had any substance, and McCain's team would have it in every one of their ads. So why…
