McCain and football memory lapse

July 12, 2008

In John McCain’s autobiography,  he said that when he was a POW and his interrogators wanted the names of his squadron mates,   he named the Green Bay Packers defensive line.

Now campaigning in Pennsylania, he said it was Pittsburgh’s defensive line.  

McCain’s campaign called it a simple “memory lapse.”
 
What’s next, a speech about Ronald Reagan and his success in tearing down the “Steel Curtain”?

Rough times for the Nationals…

July 12, 2008

The Washington Nationals are in last place in their division and are drawing less than 30,000 fans on average to their new stadium.  Now it has been announced that they have the  lowest television ratings of any team in major league baseball.

Well, it makes sense,  folks in the DC area who like watching sloppy performances are already regular viewers with  C-Span.

After some consideration, Barack Obama’s campaign has decided not to sponsor a car in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series.

Well, yeah, he thought it would give the wrong image only to turn to the left.
