Out of this list of yours:

"... Democrats' promised panaceas: higher taxes, more government regulators, more bureaucrats, and a lunge at the country's health providers with the intent of transforming them into the efficiency experts at the U.S. Postal Service. Moreover, there are federal judicial appointments to make, a war on terror to fight, and extravagant government spending to be scotched."

p>...the only item on it we can count on McCain to differ from Democrats is the war on terror. br> -- Paul Doolittle /p>

Excellent article -- I have only one quarrel with Mr. Tyrrell's merciless description of Obama's thin resume. I don't think "wet behind the ears" aptly describes young Barry. He has no behind the ears. He has an "in front of the ears" and an "in back of the ears," but no "behind the ears." I am an expert on ears that lie nestled snugly against the head, having washed behind two generations of little boys' ears. As Obama's ears seem grafted on like handles on a teapot -- that is to say, straight out, there could be no wet behind, as any damp area would dry immediately.

p>As an ear watcher and ear washer, may I say R. Emmett Tyrrell has attractive ears? I just did. br> --
