TOPICAL TUESDAYS: MCCAIN SENILITY WATCH

McCain's old, but according to thousands of pages of medical records at least, other than a bit o' skin cancer, the man's pretty healthy. I'm starting to wonder about his mind though. Seems like he's been confusing a few things recently. First Sunnis and Shiites. Then the troops in Iraq. Now this.



At least we know McCain will get Utah. He must have potential VP Mitt Romney on the brain.

Other fun in the news? The GOP blocks Gas Company profit tax. Yes, this means while we pay 50 bucks to fill our tanks, the rich get richer. Where's Robin Hood when you need him? He's probably pissed that Kevin Costner played him then tarnished the R. Hood brand by playing The Postman a few years later. Thanks Kevin. Look at the mess we're in now.

And now a random thought I had while doing today's NY Times Crossword Puzzle at lunch. The internet has really revolutionized symbols. No I don't mean emoticons. I'm talking symbols that have been here forever but had become almost obsolete. You know, the underscores of the world. The forward slash. The back slash. But seriously, the award for all-time comeback symbol goes to..... THE AT SIGN! @ You know it well now. But before 1993? Not so much. This is a massive comeback. Bigger than Travolta in Pulp Fiction. Bigger than the BeeGees and disco. Bigger than OJ in Vegas. This shit is huge!

When they create the next internet-sized invention, what do you think will make its comeback? Maybe ^? Or perhaps { ? Only time will tell.
