  I'm pretty through with the "McCain is old"-joke. 

But it's no joke.

Raping the few natural resources we have left for a finite product that still leaves us in the same predicament in the end - not to mention the fact that off-shore drilling will not produce any tangible results or relief at the pump for well over 5 yrs?

Yeah - that's a great idea.
Why should I support an idea that will not reduce our dependence on fossil fuels?
When does the real change come?
When do we make the commitment to  switch to solar power, wind power?

But Obama being black isn't funny. Old people are inherently funny. If The Simpsons has taught me anything it's that old people are the perfect fodder for jokes.

McCain, Obama both want to be the Dark Knight
Posted: 02:13 PM ET

From CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart

 
Sens. McCain and Obama both told Entertainment Weekly that they'd like to be Batman.
(CNN) – They may disagree about a lot of things — but Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama share an affinity for a certain dark superhero.

In an issue of Entertainment Weekly hitting newsstands Friday, both presumptive nominees reveal their pop culture favorites — and it turns out that both men want to be Batman.

“He does justice sometimes against insurmountable odds,” McCain said of the comic book hero. “And he doesn’t make his good works known to a lot of people.”

For his part, Obama told the magazine he would like to be Batman and Spider Man because “they have some inner turmoil.”

“They get knocked around a little bit,” observed Obama.


Issues of age and race — which have hovered over this year’s presidential campaign — also popped up in the discussion of popular culture.

Asked who was his favorite TV or movie president, McCain praised 24’s David Palmer portrayed by actor Dennis Haysbert. “He’s fabulous,” said McCain. “He’s a guy who makes tough decisions, he takes charge, he’s ready to sacrifice his interest on behalf of the interest of the country.”

Reminded that Palmer portrayed the nation’s first African-American president on the television series, the presumptive Republican nominee said “I hope that I and all Americans can be color-blind about any president.”

But McCain also told the magazine that new Indiana Jones film was the last movie he’d seen. “I enjoyed that so much. The old guys wins,” said McCain, who will be the oldest president to be elected to a first term in the White House if he wins the general election.

When are we ever going to talk about issues in this campaign?

The mortgage crisis?
The war?
The economy (and not gas prices)?
Health care?

Instead, we get Paris Hilton and Batman.
I am as distracted as anyone else by this but it would be nice for the media to discuss something that matters.

Dem VP:  I can live with Evan Bayh, though I've always had a soft spot for Joe Biden.

I liked Biden until the Alberto Gonzales confirmation hearings...he was an obvious suck up.
