The troll under the bridge.

This week in the news was a classic example of what psychiatrists call projecting, which is ascribing one of your failings to someone else. The accuser was, once again, "Get-off-my-lawn" John McCain, who said on Sunday that President Barack Obama should, "get over his temper tantrum." Of course Obama has shown no signs of a temper tantrum, while McCain is the crankiest, most petulant, grumpiest, most tantrum-prone Senator in Congress. Not only is McCain's accusation completely inaccurate, but he gave up his right to any opinion on anything once he nearly saddled the United States with the vapid and incompetent Sarah Palin. What a nightmare it would be if this miserable old bastard had won that election. We'd have a moron for a Vice President, and a warmonger as Chief Executive. With him in office we would probably be in an unnecessary war with Iran and thousands of young Americans would have already died to satisfy McCain's Republican thirst for blood.
