Both John McCain and Sarah Palin have clear ties to the far right John Birch Society organization. McCain used to attend John Birch Society meetings in the Phoenix, Arizona area and is well known to local John Birch Society members in that area's chapter. And Sarah Palin has been featured in the John Birch Society publication, THE NEW AMERICAN Magazine before. Both McCain and Palin may even be full fledged dues paying members of the John Birch Society as well.

Is it self-delusion? Is Sarah Palin in shock? How can she continue to lie about obvious facts... everyone knows she's lying -- except Sarah it would seem.

For this week at least, John McCain is all about Changing Direction from what Bush has done.. yesirree. Next week? It's anyone's guess. This drama of watching John McCain flail about like a fish out of water is amusing. John McCain is in a full-blown panic, erratically shifting from one approach to another, seemingly just one half-baked, "campaign suspension" away from a total meltdown.

I can't say I'd ever consider leaving my "wireless lifeline" at home, but the realization that much of our grief and stress comes from that little device is enlightening.
The world was a simpler place years ago, wasn't it?

I believe the phrase is "Serenity now" except that we all learned from Seinfeld that 'serenity now' means insanity later.
I resemble that remark.

Yea, well, I didn't forget my "little wireless lifeline" but it did have a dead battery. Funny that this of all days is when my house alarm decides to go off (which I think was my fault) and my phone was dead so I didn't get the call. My wife said, "I didn't even hear my phone ring." Yea, not in that bottomless pit of a purse!! Of course the person least able to handle technology, my mom, got the backup call and hustled right over to the house with HER cellphone that we got her for Christmas...yes, the lady that can barely set a VCR timer is more in communication than her "computer security expert" son.
Dammit!

I think this is something younger people like me just don't get. I can remember a time before cell phones -- heck, I didn't even have one until I got into college -- but my younger peers do not.
It's a tool. You don't want to use it, you turn it off. I usually don't even have my ringer turned on.
I hear a lot of older people whine about being at everyone else's beck and call 24/7, but they forget that the sword cuts both ways. People my age think nothing of shooting a quick call to a buddy to get a bit of information. Most of us see the cell phone the way we see AIM -- it's an enabling device. Yeah, the world was a "simpler place", but everything took a hell of a lot longer to get done. Younger people don't have spare time to sit around with our thumbs up our asses - we don't subscribe to the "work like crazy until we're geezers and then retire" idea.
But it's all voluntary. Decrying the "tyranny" of the cell phone gets old fast.
