I hear that some of the attendees of the MTV Awards got political last night. That's okay. Every time a Hollywood type denigrates the McCain-Palin ticket another thousand people in fly-over country decide to vote for them.

Barack Obama has a new ad out that focuses on the fact that John McCain has never used a computer and can't send an e-mail. Jonah Goldberg points out in his column that Obama has never fired a gun. I don't think a president is going to be called on to do either, but I'm comfortable with a president who is more familiar with weapons than computers.

Barack Obama has pledged to cut taxes, balance the budget and add new government programs. If he's neither a messiah nor a magician he apparently believes, as fiscal conservatives do, that tax cuts can cause government revenue to increase.

The biggest problem with the government giving Wall Street financial companies a $700B bailout is that the government doesn't have $700B. In effect, one insolvent entity is trying to rescue other insolvent entities.

Barack Obama claims that the government screwed up our financial system, yet he wants to put the government in charge of our health-care system. He might argue (wrongly) that it was the Republicans who screwed up the financial system and that he and the Democrats will run the health-care system properly. But does he believe the Democrats will stay in charge forever? What will happen to his health-care system when those bad ol' Republicans take over again? And they will after 4-8 years of an Obamanation.
