This trend also tends to repeat itself in sports, but that's another post entirely (and the Giants won so it's not 100%). I pick Fred, Fred drops out.

I've heard a lot from both sides of the issue on John McCain. There are those who say they won't vote for him, ever, and those who think this is a ridiculous stance because it guarantees a Hillary or Obama win. Despite my reluctance to vote for McCain, I leaned towards the latter for a while. No longer.

Last week, he announced he was departing. Since then, I've looked at the current candidates for president. I thought about waiting to see if FDT endorsed anyone; as of this writing, to my knowledge, he has not. I laid out Friday why I could never support John McCain, in the primaries or general. I just can't do it.

I didn't watch the one spin-off show (the raven? I think), but I liked the original show. I also liked Highlander III and Endgame, but they weren't as good as the first movie. So when I found out there was another movie, featuring the character from the television show, I sought it out. I tried to watch it last night.

Here's the first sampling. No order. 1. He's a global warming alarmist. As someone who lives in an area "threatened" by global warming, I think this is a bunch of crap. After the "global warming caused" Katrina, we went two years without so much as a fart from the ocean.

I am not happy with my party for putting us in a situation where the best choice never had a prayer. I'm now reconsidering the remaining candidates, but it does not look well.
