Did your balls drop off?

Every time I hear someone lamenting how much respect they had for John McCain in 2000, and how much he's changed, and how sad they find it, I can't help but think of the Joker's classic quote from The Dark Knight...

"Let's wind the clocks back a year.  These cops and lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you.  I mean, what happened?  Did your balls drop off?"

So I have to ask, did John McCain change?  Or did you change?  If you feel the way these folks feel, are you more cynical than you were eight years ago?  Hell, McCain has basically hired all of the people who set out to destroy him in order to get Dubya elected, so if you didn't change, he must've.  And if that's the case, there's this to think about:  The man spent five years getting the shit kicked out of him in a rat hole in Viet Nam, and he wouldn't go home until everybody could go home.  He spent 2000 getting the shit kicked out of him all around the USA and then eight years basically being ignored and marginalized by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney until it was convenient for them to do otherwise.  I mean, I know the Bush Administration is pro-torture, but damn!

I mean, what happened, Senator McCain?  Did your balls drop off?

What TV character do you relate to most, and why?

Probably Lauren Conrad from 'The Hills'.  Let's break this down.

Is friendship the most important thing in the universe to me?  Yes.
Do I try to have friendships with people I absolutely shouldn't trust?  Yes.
Do my friends end up acting in a strangely competitive and destructive way toward me at the exact point when I don't need that in my life?  Yes.
Do stupid things I have no control over and awful people who I don't want anywhere near me keep ruining my relationships with the people that I care about most?  Yes.
Do my friends make me cry black tears?  Yes.
Do my relationships with the opposite sex turn into head-on, apply directly to the forehead, collisions in spite of the fact that all I want to do is love and be loved, and in spite of the fact that, deep down (and even on the surface), I'm a genuine, kind, caring person.  Yes.
Has making this list caused me to realize that I experience the world too much in terms of outside factors acting upon me rather than me acting upon the world I live in?  Yes.
Do the answers make me even more sad than I was before?  Yes.
Am I aware that what you see is not really what my life is like?  Sometimes.

Do I wish I'd picked Fox Mulder instead?  The truth is out there...
