I don't often venture into the minefield of politics, but last night I caught Jay Leno and one of his guests, John McCain. Leno asks McCain how many houses he owned. McCain answers with a story about how he had been in prison for five years. I couldn't believe it! Why isn't the press all over this today?
One candidate for the presidency has the experience of a turnip, the other one is an ex-con. I mean the guy can't own a gun, can't sit on a jury and can't even vote, but he's running for President? I can't wait for the Republican spin on this one.
Speaking of which, if you want to day-trade the election in November, here is a site that allows you to place your bets:
From the looks of things, news of McCain's stint in jail has already effected the odds.

Hi Allan,
Excellent Blog - I have learned a lot!
John McCain was a prisoner
of war in the Vietnam War so
he is not a felon so he can vote,
own a gun, sit on a jury, be
a US Senator, and run for President.
Hope this helps.
Republicans are masters of spin........
Allan, When and where was McCain imprisoned in the US?
A democratic spin?
Love your blog, but stick to investing and family.
Love your blog, but stick to investing and family.
...and humor.
i thought you were intelligent
Allan:
Superb! Keep up the political blog.
As for the Republicans attacking Obama- rememer, "they" are use to
being whipped
Allan:
You cannot do a political blog without giving due praise to the greatest president/statesman of our time:
BILL CLINTON
Allan: FIX THIS. Put up a pro Clinton post and tie it to the explosion of wealth created in the stock market during his tenure. ALL HAIL BILL CLINTON.
Didn't Bill Clinton give McCain a pardon?
He can't answer the question about how many houses he owns because they are all owned by his wife. A toast to all those wives who have all the money.
We will have NO further humor! ;^)
Actually you should thank Mr. Greenspan for the "wealth" that came from the Clinton era.
Oh yea, and also thank him for todays mess!
And be sure to pick up a copy of his book while you are at it! A stark contrast from his 1960's work titled "Gold and Economic Freedom". Amazing what a little power can do to a person!
