9/13/08: Student Sarah flunks her first midterm

So I’m guessing now that Palin floundered on her midterm exams (the ABC interview), I’m guessing she’s going to skip the finals altogether. I suspect that other than the debate with Biden (which I’m really looking forward to), she’s done with the media (at least the real ones) – it’s back to the same old acceptance speech full of lies which is all she can spout on the campaign trail. I think it’s a real flaw in our system that someone might be “elected” President, Leader of the whole darn “Free World” with so little scrutiny.

Democracy only works if people can talk to the candidates and know where they really stand. BTW, it's been more than a month since McCain gave a press conference. Straight Talk Express seems to have derailed, it's been more like TRASH TALK EXPRESS lately. Their policy is clear: spoonfeed the people only what we them to hear and avoid the media and people like the plague otherwise. We will go to war with every other nation to "protect democracy (read oil)" but scr*w democracy in our own.
