You know, that's what came through last night -- Sami Rasouli's "goodness." He's such a total contrast to anyone who speaks for the Bushies, including (and perhaps most of all) The Bushman himself.

I decided not queue up to speak to Sami last night, because I was afraid I'd make a complete arse of myself, babbling, "I'm so sorry. Really. So sorry. We're sorry. And embarrassed. This country has been in the hands of maniacs, you know. We know, too. So sorry. Blah, blah, blah."

Of course, Sami is a U.S. citizen, so he knows firsthand what's been going down here.

McCain's candidacy is dying of self-inflicted, mortal wounds.

What is called for here is a real president. Poet?
