A short political break

Hi, I’m a Democrat and a Jew, and I used to think of John McCain as a kind of cool guy who did well on The Daily Show and had repented of his entanglement with the Keating Five. Now he scares the shit out of me for what he’s been willing to do to smear Obama. Here’s rydra_wong on the other things that the main source of the “Obama’s a secret Muslim/whatever” smear believes. Warning: it starts with the need to “exterminate Jew power.”

I will be fannish pretty soon; I try to keep this journal 90% fannish (counting book reviews, as I do). But I may well be more political in the next month. I also recommend giandujakiss for financial/political affairs interspersed with massive love for Sam & Dean. She's much better at multitasking than I am.
