"Hi, I'm Senator John McCain"...
"And, I'll be your next president because almost every broadcast medium in America plays my free Public Service Announcements incessantly. From speaking about the anguish in Africa to a need for us to support our troops, over the past two years, I offer no solutions. Like in past messages, what I will continue to offer is a benevolent image."

In Book One of the Republic,
Plato theorizes on the importance
of tyrants presenting a benevolent image.
At least, McCain is smarter than Bush.

1. You would think with the suffering he's been through
the idiot would have a little more compassion. But he continues to disappoint.

2. profound suffering, like his 'Nam experiences tends to do one of two things...
Suffering on that magnitude, either hardens an individual's heart beyond all comparison or it builds compassion for others to dizzying heights. In cases of suffering, like McCain, emotional middle ground remains glaringly absent in most people.

3. I am hoping someone will explain why we rarely, if ever, see other PSAs...

I bet Democratic hopefuls produce meaningful Public Service Announcements but it's not just those messages that remain oddly absent in modern media... Modern media pours forth a strange brew doesn't it?

Bullwinkle: Don't worry, we'll be renewed.

Rocky: And now, for all your seniors who are just about to graduate, here are some words of wisdom from Mr. Know-It-All.

Bullwinkle: You just leave that to my pal. He's the brains of the outfit.

Bullwinkle: What else? An executive..

Rocky: Gee, an unhappy ending.

Bullwinkle: Humble, that's me... Mr. Modesty. When it comes to humility, I'm the greatest.
