I liked much of it and I think it's very well cast.

I can't believe the GOP is still showcasing this idiot!It isn't the GOP that is showcasing the guy. Some organization called the Conservative Working Group is doing the showcasing. Only an idiot would confuse the CWG with the GOP.The article says the CWG is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who gather to plot GOP strategy...close enough for me. If the GOP is taking advice from Joe the Plumber, one can plainly see how irrelevant they've become and how they continue to not get it. The future of the party does not lie with cretins like Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin. To embrace them will only continue to marginalize the party.The CWG is a faction within the GOP. They do not represent the party as a whole. Indeed, the only way the CWG is able to get any attention is by hawking a celebrity - if they didn't have JtP coming to their meeting (and you can bet they're paying him to come), no one outside their membership would even take note that a meeting was going on.Further, that whole "plot GOP strategy" doesn't mean they're running the party. It means they're plotting how they're going to try to run the party. Not the same thing at all.No one said they were running the party. But the problem is the Party spends far too much time pandering to the fringe elements of their party rather than the moderate, mainstream voices that actually still know what the core principles of the Party are. As long as they keep listening to the Palins, Plumbers, Limbaughs, one-issue, rigid religious whack-os, and anti-intellectual, uneducated rubes, they're going to get nowhere. You do realize that the new Chairman of the GOP is Michael Steele, right? Joe the Plumber is a publicity stunt. Steele is a highly educated moderate. Steele trumps the lead pipe any day.When Mr. Steele compares stem cell research to Nazi experiments, you wonder how moderate he is. Also when he states the main problem with the Republicans is their marketing rather than their ideas, you wonder just how effective he'll be moving intransigent far right conservatives in the party toward the middle.

As it happens I don't have my camera here. I take a few things to my sister's house for the worst weeks of the bushfire season. We've already had fires in the area - and some still burning.
