(OK, OK. I’m back. I have three hour class on Wednesday and it pretty much kills Tuesday and Wednesday.)
So, I’m catching up on real news. There’s nothing like being in a classroom discussing politics, while real politics is happening elsewhere and you can’t get to the computer to find out what’s going on. When two planes hit the world trade center a few miles away from me, I was totally clueless because I was giving a quiz in an American Politics class at Hunter College. The classroom bubble.
I have to say, as someone with a last name that begins with a Mc, that I frown on all trashing of fine Irish surnames. No more McPalin or McPain or McMoron. No, not here. It’s very low, obvious humor.
Though after reading about McCain backing out of the debates on Friday, the only thing that comes to mind is McAsshole.

Weird, huh. And, I’m hearing on DailyKos that Obama was called back to Washington by Bush, and that he’s going. Think perhaps the Bush administration is going to abdicate? I can live with that — Pelosi, I guess, president for the next few months? And we’d get a woman that way!

PS: Perhaps we can just call him peckerhead, and thus avoid the trashing of fine irish surnames.

Abdicate? I’m still not convinced Bush is going to leave office.

This kind of reveals how the McCain campaign thinks about the debates — that they’re just political stunts. If there’s a serious crisis, then for goodness sake we can’t “waste” time preparing for the debates. As though the debates will just be about one-liners and gotcha questions (heaven forbid). If they actually thought of the debates as venues where serious issues get discussed, they wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss them.

If they can’t work out a bipartisan bill, I’m curious to see if Obama will show up for the vote; it could end up exactly the sort of controversial vote he strives to avoid.
