  It's a shame ANYONE has to make this into an American/Anti-American us vs. them issue when it clearly has nothing to do with the US. It's a sure-fire way of ensuring no one contributes anything relevant.

  So many of these African countries are in civil war it's quite saddening. Whether…

  Ah, the magical 'suspended sentence'. I wonder if the Brazilian who sold the Doshisha student marijuana will get a 'suspended deportation' order. I doubt it, since he's not a public official.

  It's nice to see that he can be a little self-deprecating now that it's all but over. I really respected McCain before this election campaign began and all his and Palin's negative tactics, but I've lost nearly all of it. Seeing this SNL brought a LITTLE of that back, along…

  "Bush was nowhere near the campaign crowds as the election neared, and McCain wouldn’t have it any other way, given low presidential approval ratings"

  Hahaha.... too bad they are one and the same, and McCain is trapped in the party. Wonder how bush, the worst president in US history, feels…

  sarge: This just in... a survey of a couple thousand people over their response to the campaign showed that 60% of Obama supporters were excited and only 10% of McCain's were. As well, a number of those frustrated said they may not bother to go out and vote at all,…

  Not really news, but they SKoreans have every right to react the way they did, and furthermore they aren't saying the J-government is responsible.

  "AP poll: 1 in 7 voters still persuadable"

  And McCain is banking on THAT? Those votes could just as easily go to Obama, so McCain shouldn't hold his breath.

  Glad to hear it. It'll be even better when they are brought home and there are NONE.

  sarge: "I doubt it."

  Doubt it all you like. I can GUARANTEE Obama will be more into helping the issue than exacerbating it, like McCain would. Fortunately, we'll never have a chance to see the latter in action because Obama is going to win.

  skip: You missed my point. I am fully aware of the fact that a politician's private life is up for grabs; be it Palin's handicapped grandchild, bush's drunk/drug abusing daughters, McCain's philandering, or what have you. What's more, politicians often go out of their way to bring their personal lives…
