Today, We are Young Again ... Unless - We Get John "Gridlock" McCain


I'd explain, but I think everyone feels what I mean. Savor every moment, especially the early ones.

A special joy attends the end of our 2.5 billion dollar national footdance, an Orwellian-packed food-fight that we charitably call an "election". Never have so many spent so much to generate ... so few promises and so little real information.

Cynical of me? Have a look at Yglesias's list of questions, from the primaries, that the candidates never answered. Did the pressure of the general force ... clarity?

That frustration is probably as much at the heart of the "boomer wars", as any, on both sides of the isle.

Anyway, if McCain pulls off an upset, then we'll be old again ... and the Nation will age fast.
