Slow day today.  Very quiet.

I splurged the other week and bought a bunch of albums, including Eef Barzelay’s Lose Big.  Maybe if I ever stopped being lazy I would post a review of it.  Eef used to be the singer of Clem Snide, which put out a couple of albums in the early 00’s.  Their best was “The Ghost of Fashion”.

Anyhoo, this is the titular track from the new album:

McCain’s got a new ridiculous ad out against Obama.  It claims that Obama wants to teach sex education to kindergarteners.  Now, people say some stupid things in the heat of an argument, but is McCain really trying to claim that Obama wants to teach sex ed to pre-schoolers?  Are we really that gullible as a nation?  If you’re going to lie, why not go whole hog and say that Obama plans to distribute condoms to pre-schoolers?  Actually, that kind of reminds me of an XKCD strip.

I realize McCain’s a “maverick”, but was it really a good decision to stick his own head up his ass?  I guess a more genteel way to say this would be: for someone who claims to put his country first, he really seems to have jumped into the sleazy, mudslinging end of the pool with both feet.  It’s shameful.

Anyway.  Here’s the ad:

The appropriate response is: “WTF?”

And here’s the link to a blogpost debunking the ad.

I haven’t been the biggest Obama supporter, but damned if these new sleazy, despicable, dishonest, pathetic attacks don’t make me want to go and vote.  Anyhoo, like they say about Chicago, “Vote early, vote often.”  Here’s a link to register to vote, from the League of Women Voters website.  I wouldn’t bother with Obama’s site unless you wanted to be inundated with Obama ads for the rest of your life.
