This is a blog about the hogwash that enters lives on a daily, hourly, second by second basis. For instance, as most of us have seen over the last eight years or so, every sound that pours out of George W. Bush’s mouth is hogwash. No, this is not another “bash W. blog.” I just could not think of a better example of metaphorical hogwash. So, be prepared. Whether it is religion, politics, sports, technology, or your mother’s dirty laundry, it’s all Hogwash.Sep 15 2008
The Maverick Truth - “The worst thing I can do is sell my soul to the devil.” - John McCain
Remember when John McCain was considered a maverick because he occasionally took liberal positions?
Now he has provided the American people with a whole new euphemism for a lie: The Maverick Truth
Palin is qualified to be the most powerful person in the free world = The Maverick Truth
Trickle down regressive Republican economics has worked = The Maverick Truth
The regressive Republican run economy works for middle class Americans = The Maverick Truth
Trickle down regressive Republican economics trickles down to Indian and Chinese workers = The Maver….oh wait, that’s the REAL TRUTH!!!

McCain even seems to have forgotten what saved his greatest legislative achievement, which is campaign finance reform. When he was asked during the Saddleback Church debate which Supreme Court justices he would not have nominated, he named Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, David Souter and John Paul Stevens. It happens that those are four of the five justices who voted in 2003 to uphold the McCain-Feingold law.
In May 2006, after McCain had courted the Rev. Jerry Falwell in an effort to win conservative support, I asked him if he was bending his principles for the sake of winning. “I don’t want it that badly,” McCain answered. “I will continue to do what is right. . . . If that means I can’t get the Republican nomination, fine. I’ve had a happy life. The worst thing I can do is sell my soul to the devil.”
He was right.
