Republican presidential nominee John McCain took center stage last night. McCain vowed to "shake up Washington" (wait...isn't he part of "Washington?" ) and said he's prepared to reach across the aisle to get the country "back on the road to prosperity and peace."
Of course, anti-war protesters briefly interrupted John McCain's acceptance speech as McCain told the crowd "don't be diverted by the ground noise and the static."
The latest polls put Obama ahead of McCain 48-43

Sarah's Other Problem
There are now allegations that aides to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin improperly obtained her former brother-in-law's state police personnel files and cited information from those records to raise complaints about the officer, according to the head of Alaska's state police union.
Palin is battling allegations that she fired her public safety commissioner in July because he refused to fire Trooper Mike Wooten, her sister's ex-husband. But a spokesman for GOP presidential candidate John McCain's campaign released documents indicating Wooten signed a waiver during his divorce that allowed his entire personnel file to be released.
The governor has denied any wrongdoing.
In an ethics complaint filed the union names the governor and three aides, one of whom cited Wooten's records in a tape-recorded call to a state police lieutenant in February.

LiveScience.com says the more you think...the more calories you burn!
According to LifeScience, researchers figure the body reacts to these fluctuations by demanding food to restore glucose, a sugar that is the brain's fuel. Glucose is converted by the body from carbohydrates and is supplied to the brain via the bloodstream. The brain cannot make glucose and so needs a constant supply. Brain cells need twice as much energy as other cells in the body.

Wow. So all I have to do is think more and I can quit going to the gym.
Exactly, what change in Washington is McCain talking about? Has he forgotten that he's part of what he thinks he's going to change?
