Yesterday, John McCain made a speaking "error", but, unlike his best friend, Mr. G. W. Bush, McCain didn't mispronounce nuclear. Instead, he accidentally told the American people, more or less, that we went into Iraq for oil. Now there's a surprise.
Of course, McCain says that his comment was misinterpreted. By all means, please, interpret it for yourself:
"My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East"
That's right. He has an energy policy that will eliminate dependence on oil from the Middle East, so that we won't have to keep going to war there. That's what he actually said. Really. Not edited. But McCain claims he was referring the the Gulf War (you know, the one between Iran and Iraq). So there's no correlation to the Iraq war of today. Of course not.
You see, McCain backed the Iraq War (along with Hillary Clinton) in the beginning, but unlike Clinton, he still supports Bush's war. After all, McCain is fine with staying in there fore 100 years; maybe more!

In other news today: Top Stories that mean NOTHING:
-Barack Obama wins Guam by 7 votes. Talk about having your voice heard! Anyway, he and Clinton share the 4 delegates awarded, giving each another 2. This doesn't mean much to anyone at all.
-New polls show that Rev. Wright concerns many Americans. Big deal. Why am I not concerned? 1. Because Obama just severed his connection with Wright, and 2. Because "many Americans" doesn't mean squat. The ONLY Americans that matter now are those in the few remaining states yet to vote, and the few hundred Superdelegates. So as long as "most" Americans means those that already voted, and most Americans have, polls mean nothing.
-115 delegates are up for grabs in North Carolina. Obama is expected to win, and a CNN "poll of polls" made up by averaging various OTHER polls (in other words, 'borrowing' other people's work and calling it your own, like 'Google Images' or 'Answers.com', none of which I mean any dislike) shows him ahead by 9 points. So, they ran an article that Clinton is "gaining" because yesterday the poll said he was up by 10 points. She's gaining? The margin of error there has to be at least 5 points, so who are they kidding? The pollsters know NOTHING. But, if you want my educated guess: Obama wins by about 7 points. The gas tax holiday should hurt her...Obama's doing a good job of saying how McCain/Bush-ish the plan is. But really, no one knows what will happen.
