McCain: Nail Jell-O to the wall.

Obama: Still green behind the ears. (what the hell does that one even mean)?

And why does it seem that if you don't for Obama, you are racist, but if you are voting for McCain you are sexist?

Obama impressed everyone with his 3 a.m. text message to announce his choice of Biden. Do you think McCain should counter that with releasing carrier pigeons or the pony express to announce his VP?

Don't get all ticked off - I am just having fun. I am actually a McCain supporter.

Suppose a farmer planted 1,000 acres of corn.

The cost of the corn seed for the entire 1,000 acres was $500

Fuel costs for equipment do plant was $750

Other preparatory chemicals cost $250

Capital depreciation for equipment used in the time period was $2,500

Now assume that the rains came at the perfect times and besides the normal herbicides that he would need to apply, he would have to do very little and he was on track to yield a nice crop worth $50,000

Now lets say a competing farmer nearby plowed his entire field up one night. This was just before the corn was about to sprout but it ruined his entire crop.

Should the farmer collect...

A) The cost of seed and act of planting the crop ($4,000)

B) The cost of the seed only ($500)

C) The cost of what the crop would have been worth ($50,000)

D) The cost of everything ($54,000)

E) None of the above

There is no right or wrong answer, please provide your rational for the anwer you pick and then check back after I have chosen the best answer for a follow up question.

...at 3 a.m. to prove that he is ready to 'work the phones' at 3 a.m.?

...Biden and McCain are alot alike in the fact that they will at times cross party lines to take a stand on an issue and they are very vocal even when they have negative things to say about people within their own party? Do you think this is part of the reason Obama picked him?

Is anyone really shocked at the lack of substance and specificity of Obama's statement?

John McCain's statement:

Today news reports indicate that Russian military forces crossed an internationally-recognized border into the sovereign territory of Georgia. Russia should immediately and unconditionally cease its military operations and withdraw all forces from sovereign Georgian territory. What is most critical now is to avoid further confrontation between Russian and Georgian military forces. The consequences for Euro-Atlantic stability and security are grave.

The government of Georgia has called for a cease-fire and for a resumption of direct talks on South Ossetia with international mediators. The U.S. should immediately convene an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to call on Russia to reverse course. The US should immediately work with the EU and the OSCE to put diplomatic pressure on Russia to reverse this perilous course it has chosen. We should immediately call a meeting of the North Atlantic Council to assess Georgia’s security and review measures NATO can take to contribute to stabilizing this very dangerous situation. Finally, the international community needs to establish a truly independent and neutral peacekeeping force in South Ossetia.

Barack Obama's statement:

I strongly condemn the outbreak of violence in Georgia, and urge an immediate end to armed conflict. Now is the time for Georgia and Russia to show restraint, and to avoid an escalation to full scale war. Georgia’s territorial integrity must be respected. All sides should enter into direct talks on behalf of stability in Georgia, and the United States, the United Nations Security Council, and the international community should fully support a peaceful resolution to this crisis.

The video shows a girl and guy as they appear to be fighting. The girls throws down the newspaper and rushes out only to have the guy chase her. She is so upset, she runs a light and gets hit by a truck. As the crowd gathers around the wreck, she appears from the crowd without a mark. For the first time, she actually sees the guy and they run to each other and embrace. The video flashes back to the paper and you notice the guys obituary. They have been reunited in death.
