McCain gains on Obama

I read in this morning's paper that McCain has gained on Obama here in Iowa. McCain has run a brilliant media campaign. While Obama was courting the French and Germans, McCain was talking about what Americans really care about. While Obama was vacationing and basking in his superstardom, McCain was on the campaign trail. While Obama was stuttering and stamering facing a potentially unfriendly audience, McCain was crisp and making points.

I wonder if there are enough bridges for the Democrats to jump off of if McCain is the next president?

Something I don't understand

I read in the Register that the Des Moines School District is considering paying high school students to go to school. What?? That maybe the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's not, but it could have been.

Best of B.S.

I don't understand how a business newspaper can consider itself a legitamite source for news when they publish a feeble attempt at one time ad revenue with a "Best Of (Name of City). EVERYBODY knows it's a ballot stuffing farce. We refuse to participate.
