I'm Going to Pray

Not something I've done a lot of since unlashing my life raft from the Catholic Church twenty-five-some years ago. But I'm getting a sick feeling in my gut, and I'll sacrifice my lack of belief for something good. Or at least the lack of something very, very bad.

I now openly and sincerely pray that this horrible shit does not go the way of nightmares. Sincerely.

Deceptive "Tiny Iran" McCain Ad

Simple analysis at Raw Story:

The ad is misleading because it states that Obama said Iran is "tiny" and "doesn't pose a serious threat" without noting that Obama was comparing the threat Iran poses today to the Soviet Union, the nuclear-armed adversary of the U.S. during the Cold War.

Soviet Union: more than 45,000 nuclear weapons. (Source and source.)

Iran: O (zero) nuclear weapons.

"0" is to "45,000" as "tiny" is to "not so very freaking tiny at all. Downright enormous, actually."

Perspective IS important.
