Okay, politics. I almost reconsidered posting this, because I thought I’d have to make a tag called “politics,” and that doesn’t appeal to me at all. But then I realized I could use “current events.” Therefore:

I’m happy to see that Obama raised $66 million in August. His best month of fundraising ever, and the best in American political history. Let’s hope people are waking up to how horribly cynical the McCain campaign is.

And on that note, a smart op-ed piece by Thomas L. Friedman in the New York Times this morning. Citing how McCain has sold his (supposedly maverick) soul for a shot at the presidency. Instead of thinking about true leadership, he is busy pandering to the evangelicals and playing the culture-war card.

Yahoo has a nice little election dashboard that demonstrates what’s going on, state by state. I’ll be watching with interest.

And finally, it’s always a good idea to consider the Sandokai.
