In the pre-Palin-news-interview period, that phase of the McCain campaign when much of what we see of his running mate is scripted for home viewing consumption, shopping for salsa surely rates right up there with, well, shopping for salsa.
"How do you like yours, medium or hot?'' John McCain asks. "You like medium... I like hot.''
McCain can't seem to get enough of the stuff: "We're hot,'' he says. And, when it comes time to pay: "I got it.''
Sarah Palin's husband Todd reaches for his wallet.
"He says he's got it,'' the Republican vice presidential nominee says of the presidential nominee.
"Should've bought more,'' says McCain, when he hears the price. But at the end, look who's left holding the bag of salsa as they leave: First Sarah Palin, and then husband Todd.

Why did the register show no sale? Did McCain pay for anything? Or are these people AVOIDING TAXES?

I guess that is how they want to make it for us, senior citizens, concerning our Social Security !! Make it hot for us, by turning the program over to the Wall Street con artists. The same con-artists that savaged our S&L Assoc. and have ravaged our Banking Mortgage sector and they want to give them our Social Security funds. Then, the taxpayers can bail out another financial institution or two !!
Maybe these Conservative Crusaders want to make it hot for the women who have a right to privacy, when it comes to their decision, concerning their bodies !! Oh, it's alright for Governor Palin, to demand her daughter's privacy, concerning her pregnancy, but it is not alright for other women, to claim their right to privacy !!! Hypocrisy will soon replace democracy, if these Conservative Crusaders get elected !! I hope that is not, what you want, America !!

Don - You realize we cannot bring our troops all home right now, right? I'm just asking because I've become rather irritated with the phrase at the bottom of all your posts. I just wasn't sure if you understood how war works...

It is unfortunate for the nation that you aren't as astute as you think you are !! If that was the case, we may even have avoided this Oil-based debacle. I know you already knew this, but it is a rhetorical device, a reminder to everyone, who reads it, that we have women and men in our Armed Forces, in harm's way and I would like our nation not to forget them and their heroic sacrifices. I do know, that you do appreciate their sacrifices, but I am sorry you are annoyed by the reminder!! Didn't mean to annoy you, only to remind the readers, of our great members of our Armed Forces, under-payed and under-served by the present administration's Department of Veterans Affairs !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

This is news? No wonder small-minded America is going to elect these fools. There's never any discussion of issues, just Sarah Palin's glasses or McCain buying salsa. Come on!
