Who does McCain pick for VP now?

Well, John McCain has his work cut out for himself and honestly that might be the long and short of it.  McCain although finding mild success from his attack ads, is still failing to fully get the support of his party.  I’m very convinced that he’s been looking for a spark or a game changer to help power him into the election.  Unfortunately for the GOP, it doesn’t look like one is immediately available.  I’ll run through the McCain quandry.

McCain has to choose very wisely when it comes to his VP.  The perceived obstacles of being a moderate Republican, being a Bush administration supporter, lacking charisma, lacking business prowess and well, being old, are all things McCain has to work to remedy by balancing the ticket out with someone who quiets screams about everything he is not.

 

Fear and Loathing In Leaving Iraq

Before you jump to any conclusions about this little rant, I should first say a few things:

1. Going into Iraq was probably one of the worst foreign policy decisions the U.S. could have made.

2. Staying in Iraq too long will not help foreign policy objectives in the future.

3. Leaving too early will only help to destabilize an all ready unstable area.

4. America’s domestic safety is not directly linked to leaving Iraq.

5. Remedying this situation equates to having to turn a landfill into a mountain of gold.

6. No matter what any party (Republican, Democrat or Other) says, none of them knows how to handle this dilemma.

7. A U.S.-Iranian War is not inevitable. However, another Iraq-Iran war is very likely.

Ok, now that we have that out of the way let me go into what’s been on my mind for a little bit.

 

What does Obama’s VP Choice means for Hillary?

I wrote before about Hillary’s Veep campaign where I asserted that she was probably intentionally fracturing the Democratic party to help secure a spot within the White House. It got me thinking, what would happen if Hillary isn’t tapped to be V.P. I mean, it won’t be the end of the world but it does have some implications.

Yes, aside the fact that she would be pissed off. C’mon, let’s be serious.

 

The Celtics win BIG. Seriously, it was nuts.

I waited on this for a whole day to let it sink in. Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen get a championship. In six games; which is a game better than I predicted. They were the best team all year by record and actually validated it with a ring. Kudos.

BUT TO WIN BY 39 IN GAME 6 IS NUTS!!!

 

PUMA = Morons

PUMA. You’re probably thinking “it’s gotta be about sports.” But, unfortunately I’m not. However, to help make a point I will begin with sports logic.

 

The Mets are Disgusting

Before I could publish a little rant about how the Mets organization should have some class and show some respect by firing Willie Randolph instead of having his job be basically day-to-day, they preempt it by actually doing it. I don’t think he deserved it. I don’t think there was anything he could have done. Hell, if I were him, I would have quit. But, at least the Mets showed some guts and finally did it. Great, now the franchise can move on.
