You might want to kinda keep this under your hat because Sen. McCain hates to talk about it and would never never NEVER use it for political advantage, but did you know that 40 years ago he was a POW?

This morning’s news is that unemployment has gone over 6%. Sen. McCain has a plan: abolish unemployment insurance and let community colleges do their job.

In other economic news this morning, foreclosures hit a record high. Sen. McCain has a plan: he knows a couple from podunk who lost all their speculative investments in real estate and he’s going to care about them and “reach across the aisle” or something.

Republican are to blame for letting Washington corrupt them and that’s how we got into this mess, McCain said, and the obvious solution is to elect Republicans to fix that.

He’s mavericky, you know.

So there again.
