let the woman do the dirty work

Last night's Town Hall proved telling, not only for what was said but also for what was not said. It is now clear that McCain has sent Palin out onto the hustings to deliver his campaign's message of hate and fear. Once again, a man gets a woman to do his dirty work for him. I was positive Lee Atwater dropped dead in 1991. But his acolytes are still around. According to liberal, conservative and independent pollsters, we the people are sick to death of such tactics.

I'm tired of the nastiness of it all. So here's something stunningly beautiful for your enjoyment. This is one of the latest pictures of Mercury taken by the NASA Messenger probe. The colors are so vivid and rich. It looks like a peaceful place. I wonder if they have elections there.
