SAME OLD SONG & DANCE
my friends.
I've been working on another major web project the
last few days and so haven't gotten around to a whole bunch of topics that have
been rattling around my mind lately. Stay tuned later in the week -- and quite
possibly next, once things settle down -- for more on those, but for
now...
...let's pause, a moment, to lament the early demise of what might have been a fair and rational and civilized presidential election. Now that Senator Straight Talk has aired a radio ad that, according to FactCheck.org, gets nearly all its facts wrong, and now Senator Breath of Fresh Air has aired a television commercial that, at least to my nose, and surely for the first 14 seconds, smells an awful lot like old school negative politics, it's time to drop any pretense to which you may have been clinging about this year being any different.
The Maverick vs. The Motivator? Please.
Let's just call it The Fibber vs. The Phony. And then, being sure to hold our nose and cover our ears and forfeit our dignities, prepare ourselves for another four months of another four years of the same old political song and hypocritical dance.
