The younger you are, the less likely that you played a parlor game called Telephone, as iPods, gaming devices, PCs, and other technologies crowd out attention spans, and finger control becomes more important than a well-chosen phrase, or a decent memory. Hal Brown

Much is being made of the only electability strength John McCain seems to hold over Obama, that is, the belief he is stronger on homeland security. I have little doubt Obama has his response planned if there is a natural or man-made catastrophe prior to the election1. I can only hope that if such an event occurs it won't propel McCain into the White House. Americans are suckers for imagery. Tough talking usually trumps reason. Phil Hoskins

As the Presidential campaign takes shape those still awake will remark at the ability of the two presumptive nominees to “nuance”, “refine” and “modify” the very positions and principles that attracted interest to them in the first place. Both Senators Obama and McCain claim they are agents of change. Seems that some of that change is falling to the ground. Blue's Polls Doug Thompson's Blue Ridge Muse

Modern journalism should adopt the acronym NAOS (Not an Onion Story), to identify actual news that can't otherwise be distinguished from outright satire. A perfect candidate is the report that Sens. Larry Craig and David Vitter have co-sponsored the Marriage Protection Amendment.

How the wealthy would fare under McCain & Obama Since so many people seem to be confused about a)the differences between McCain & Obama, I thought this was very interesting.

I used to love this pub, but no longer. Those ads fluttering down from "above" that you can't get rid of until they feel like going, are the most irritating visuals since the last photo of George W. Bush. I'm finding the same problem unsubscribing from this newly untidy site. And with today's announcement of a "News Roundup," well I can get that from AP. Where's Doug when ya need him?

Take it from a guy that worked in the industry. There is no such thing as clean coal, Senator. Take some time to re-evaluate your position. I know there's a lot of high sulfur coal in Illinois, but you really don't want to go down that route. Remember clinging to guns and Bibles in Pennsylvania?
