I know it’s my third post today, but this article is unbelievable:

It’s shocking, but this article says there is only one World War I vet left. It’s kinda sad that people probably won’t take any more notice of Frank Buckles until he dies. Then the headlines will scream: Last WWI vet died today. Too bad we can’t give him more honor now while he’s alive to recieve it.

Shows Hillary in danger of appearing calculating (as if she doesn’t already), and it also shows tensions between candidates heating up a bit.

 But right now, to me anyway, it seems like all the candidates are trying to get the most attacks on each other without really attacking each other. Whenever policy differences do appear, neither candidates’ policies are fully fleshed out anyway.

The only two candidates with thourough and nuanced policies across the board are the old timers of Republican John McCain and Democrat Joe Biden. We’ll see if that changes in the last couple of months before the primaries.

I’m a moderate who has criticised Obama in some of my past columns, but his recent speech and the following article piqued my interest in his candidacy again. It’s a rather supportive column by conservative columnist Andrew Sullivan. Here it is:

It’s long. Enjoy.

I saw a flier about relationship abuse alleging that 85% of people in relationships experience “emotional abuse.” This is just another example of obviously fraudulent numbers being paraded as the truth. As anybody who has ever been in a relationship knows, the actual number is 100%.

It’s just the cost of business when you’re dating somebody. Remember: The emotional abuse of a relationship is almost always easier to take than the the self-inflicted emotional abuse of being single.

Woohoo!
