Hey, look! A pointless, knee-jerk security measure just went from catastrophe to boon for the in-terminal retail shops! How much do you think the prices are going to jump?
Incidentally, I would be putting up more posts, but I honestly have not been reading anything interesting lately. The pre-election scene is weirdly quiet, at least in the sense that nothing really notable seems to be happening. Yeah, Santorum is lagging in the polls, etc. etc. But nothing really interesting. Sigh. I continue to predict that the Democrats will pick up a few Senate and House seats, but not enough to form a majority. Then, we'll have to endure another two years of Republican idiocy before Hillary fucks up any Presidential chances the Democrats may have had.
I guess the one interesting thing that's happening is that McCain is emerging as the Republican front-runner. Sadly, the Republicans seem to be realizing that Frist is an unelectable tool. Shame...having him run would have been one of the few things that might have given Democrats a chance. But McCain seems to be doing a passable job at cosying up to "crazy base land," which is depressing. I still don't really _like_ McCain, but he would at least be a step up from Bush, and I don't think he's beholden either to the Religious Right or the neocons. At least, not yet. He may find himself in that position if he is elected and wants to get anything done.
