Observation

I watched a little cable news today. I also noticed that the polls continue to move the Democrats’ way. What did I learn? If you openly pine for a terrorist attack on our country, you are engaging in straight talk. I suspect that the wider Obama’s lead grows, the worse his cable news coverage will be. Gotta keep things close or no one will tune in.

McCain is one supersitious guy…

He told the building that houses his campaign offices to redo their elevator labels like this. (via Mark Kleiman)

For the lowdown on McCain’s economic plan, we turn to Doug Holtz-Eakin, the bearded, balding former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, now McCain’s chief economic advisor. We meet at campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va., in a conference room on the M floor — M for McCain. (M is one above 12. The whole floor was renamed and relabeled by the campaign, right down to the buttons on the elevators. McCain is superstitious, his spokeswoman explained; it’s a fighter-pilot thing. But isn’t M the 13th letter in the … ? Never mind.)

McCain carries a lucky feather, a lucky compass, a lucky penny, a lucky nickel, a lucky quarter, and a laminated four-leaf clover.
McCain believes it’s bad luck to pick up a coin if it isn’t heads up.

  dunno, but he’s having a very bad week considering all his good luck pieces:
  
  here his own invited panelist on energy policy smacks him down in public
  
  Dodd has started the FISA Bill filibuster to strip Immunity-C-Span 2 coverage now on Senate floor

  From wiki:
  
  John Sidney McCain III (born August 29, 1936)
  
  That would make him a Virgo.

So, the lump in his pants is as big as Dick Cheney’s.
