McCain has said he believed the Iraq war can be won by 2013, leaving a functioning democracy there and allowing most U.S. troops to come home. [Link]
Oh my God, what is he thinking? That’s FIVE more years of a war that has degraded into a quagmire everyone is tired of after six years.
It’s ruining our economy, jacking up Gasoline prices and the cost of everything that depends on it. Five more years of us and the terrorists will have won - they will have destroyed the U.S. by destroying the economy.
Just one more item of proof that electing McCain is four more years of Dubya.
Former Buffalo Mayor and long-time politician Jimmy Griffin passed away today. It’s a sad day in Buffalo.
Whether you liked him, or not you had to respect him and his honesty. You always knew where he stood, because he alway told it like it was.

After hearing about it over and over and over and over, ad-nauseum, from every talking head on the TWIT network (This Week In Tech, no connection to Twitter) I was curious about Twitter.
