McCain bid to shore up his poll numbers by highlighting ``Joe the plumber'' may backfire.

"Almost 95 percent of 21.5 million owners of small businesses who file as sole proprietors had receipts under $100,000 in 2007.

Another 4 million businesses organize as so-called subchapter S corporations, according to IRS data; less than 5 percent of them earn more than $200,000."

In my view politics divides the East from the West. It divides nations, cities and even families. Politics is one of the most divisive influences of mankind.

I also do not advocate or preach democracy, socialism, communism or any other form of human government as a remedy for the world’s woes.

In my view politics cannot begin to put the connecting tissue back in society. It is ill-equipped to reconstruct traditional moral beliefs. The best policies cannot recover courtship or marriage, make fathers responsible for their children, restore shock or shame where it once existed. The vast majority of moral problems that trouble us cannot be eradicated by law.

Knowing these things as i do, I i find it more entertaining to just stand on the side lines and stir the pot... Be a devil's advocate, agitate folks when they make questionable statements, and mostly try to have a lot of fun laughing at some of the absurd goings on round these parts.

Most of all i try to laughing at myself......

So Barry you will not vote for anything on the 4th?

I'm really glad that I will be making little to nothing for the next four to eight years.

Isn't that depressing?

I'm paying out, not taking in
Fortunately, I can get places about half as expensive as I had envisioned this summer... I could still use an extracurricular, though...
