One Day To Go

"Barack Obama wants to 'spread the wealth around' and is more interested in controlling who gets your piece of the pie than he is in growing the pie." John McCain

What's odd about that statement is the notion of growing a pie. Never heard of such a thing. I've made plenty of pies and seen pies made, but I've never seen one grown. Maybe McCain means making the pie bigger. I guess he fancies that a bigger pie means we all get bigger pieces....?

McCain and Palin declare themselves "mavericks." Merriam-Webster provides two definitions for "maverick":

1. an unbranded range animal
2. an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party

Interesting. Okay, let's go with #2. If each of them claims to be a maverick, then I guess either of them is likely, at any given moment, to break from the other's plan get get (as Sarah put it) "all mavericky." Sounds like a hoot. Shaking up government by refusing to go along with a group or party. I can see where that might be somewhat beneficial, but someone needs to be willing to work with the group or we're not going to have much (any) direction in the White House or on Capital Hill! Yikes!
