I've been getting a lot of positive remarks about the little blurb ("I'm gonna beat you with McCain") over the last few days. I'm not responsible for the remark though - you can thank Rob for that. The moment he said it we all found it hilarious and I felt the urge to spread such entertaining words beyond the realm of Jane's apartment.

Speaking of McCain: here's a lovely video in which Leno asks McCain how many houses he has. If you don't feel like watching, here's a brief transcript:

LENO: Senator John McCain, for one million dollars: how many houses do you have?
(AUDIENCE, MCCAIN, and LENO all laugh.)
MCCAIN: You know, could I just mention to you Jay - in a moment of seriousness - I spent five and a half years in a prison cell. I didn't have a house. I didn't have a kitchen table...

To McCain's credit, he does list five of his houses; albeit he does so in such a convoluted way that it takes him a minute to reach that point.

To both candidates: whatever happened to a so-called respectful campaign? Whatever happened to the so-called straight talk? Did they even exist in the first place?
