Good to see that John McBush (thanks again, Maureen) is sticking with the good old Republican playbook of slagging the opponent while offering absolutely no ideas of his own. Call me crazy, but I'm thinking most Americans would be asking, "John, tell us what you're going to do about fixing the record-setting deficit that your President has run up while your party's been in control of the government?". Or, "John, what do you plan to do about getting your country out of an unjustifiable, unwinnable war that your President, with the cooperation of your party, started?" Or, to be more concise, "What's your plan, Johnny?" The answer, of course, is that McBush doesn't have a plan. He's a Republican.

And things are looking down in China as the Olympics get closer and closer. What a surprise! A police state is censoring news! Hokey smokey! What next? Mass arrests? Maybe they're saving that for the opening ceremony's big parade.
