"The Truth is Out There...

...I'd go looking for it if I wasn't so busy looking for my car keys."

I have written and deleted no less than six essays on the topic of the circus that is the 2008 presidential election. At this point, I am not sorry to say that I am still undecided on my vote. I've been holding out on account of lack of good information and lack of any idea as to where to get good information. As I'm sure you are all aware, educating yourself on "the issues" is easily a full-time job, and and even as a relatively well-read and educated citizen, wading through the BS is overwhelming and disheartening. However, I recently stumbled across www.2008election.procon.org. As far as I can tell, it is relatively naked facts about the candidates and their stances on various issues. I'm sure there is a slant hidden in there somewhere, but I haven't found it yet. If any of you are feeling as bewildered as I have been about the situation, I encourage you to check it out.
