Quick political sampler

• Jimmy Carter meeting with Hamas. I just can't see the good of this, especially when he's trying to bring peace to the Middle East and Israel wouldn't talk to him. It's somewhat difficult to be an emissary of peace if you only talk to the terrorist organization. Oh, and it's really not good for your reputation when the Prime Minister of Israel says he's too busy to meet with you because, well, he's meeting with the star of Prison Break
• I'm so inspired by those Tibetan protesters that I think I would try to put out the Olympic flame if it came by my house. So, how is it possible that the free world has such gutless leaders that no one is willing to boycott the Games? So what if our athletes are sad. I'm sure they were sad when they didn't go to Moscow. It seems like the Olympics and politics are always entwined, so let's all follow the lead of the PM of Australia and do some boycotting! Shouldn't all the athletes be praying that their country boycotts the Games so they don't have to run in that Beijing soup? With the human rights violations, the pollutions, the censorship of the free press, what more could China do to make themselves more loathsome?
  
• I didn't mind John McCain's foreign policy speech. Didn't mind it at all. Thought it was sensible. I don't think he's a bad candidate really. Obama's funny to me. At first, I thought him an interesting candidate because he was the perfect post-racial candidate; father from Kenya, mother from Kansas, grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia. Maybe it's the recent depictions of him in the press but he's seeming less like Tiger Woods than I had hoped. Too bad. I would vote for Tiger Woods over any of these candidates.
