A clearer comparison

Here's a helpful graphic concerning McCain and Obama's tax plans' impact, especially necessary given the lies the distortions and lies the McCain ads continue to spread. (Click on the graphic for a larger image.)

Well, Obama seems to be doing exactly what I'd be doing by not punishing the rich, but by tapping into money they don't need to help sustain the nation. I mean seriously, who is McCain trying to fool here. How typical is it for a rich old guy to try and make himself even richer... honestly, people like him who seem to only think for themselves and not for the country as a whole entity, should be shot on sight... but lets just thank the gods that he is indeed, that... old! He'll die off soon enough. :P -JMO

The ads are getting uglier almost by the day. From the sound of a report heard yesterday, in the states that are being seen as being more up for grabs than Pennsylvania, even worse material's being run.

Such respect as I recall once having for McCain becomes an ever more distant, puzzling memory each time I hear "I'm John McCain, and I approved this message" after most of the ads I'm seeing from his camp.

I am stuck between shock, and a realization that he's just playing the political game. Though one would think there's a line and a limit that they shouldn't cross... but I fear that he left that point sadly far far behind. I'm not lamenting however, I knew I'd vote democrat, regardless if it was for Hillary or Obama. I'm just sadden by the fact that whom ever wins will still be struggling to fix the mess that was left to them by Bush Jr. thus never getting the chance to put forth their own plans. Hmm... If McCain wins... maybe thats a good thing then lol. -JMO

(TV/streaming video) New & Leftover Items, a Touch of 2024, and some Nostalgic Forensics

    So much else calling out for attention, and with watchables already piled up, finding even more things to watch doesn't seem like much of a sane prospect. I'm not even fishing around for new things at the moment, as I need to get some other things done and make some attempt to round out my life a little.       This week on Paramount+, the fourth season of the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks came to a satisfying end. A manic pace of in-universe nods continues to give it the Star Trekiest of Trek feels with the casual, plot-essential trivia drawn from decades of Star Trek shows, woven throughout.       Also there, the contemporary Frasier series' first season hits its halfway point with episode five. I'm enjoying it, but it continues to walk a wobbly line as some of it works smoothly while other moments reek of formula, with some of each overlapping. I'd be very interested in seeing how well or not this new series works on its o...

Catching Up with Old Friends (Streaming media series)

   I haven't done any blogging posts on current and streaming media since November 3rd, which broke a streak of weekly ones that had been going since September of 2019 - albeit as part of a different, group, blog. As with many such inactions, it wasn't intended as a formal stoppage, just a momentary delay, but here it is five weeks later. This post's linking theme is the return of fondly-remembered characters. It really should include the recent arrival to streaming of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny over on Disney+, but I haven't really mustered my reactions to that. Instead, I'll stick with two other nostalgic items that arrived this week.       Yesterday saw the arrival of the season finale, episode ten, of Kelsey Grammar's return of Frasier Crane in the 2023 iteration of Frasier , over on Paramount+.      The series picked up on the titular character in the present, whom we haven't seen since his 11-season first series wr...

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where...
