ASSIGNMENT DESK: CAN'T FOLLOW THE ACTION WITHOUT A PROGRAM.

Bob Oso writes, "[we] need voter's guides with all of the candidates and their pastor's statements on the following: God's wrath on America, Iran, Israel, Armageddon, Global Warming, and Universal Healthcare.

I suspect the results will be surprising."

I'm in full agreement, though given the hubbub over Ayers, I'd add that we shouldn't just look at pastors, but endorsers, friends, acquaintances, and people they were in a room with that one time. No, not that time. The other time.

On a related note, Kathy is a terrorist.

Screw their pastors, I would like to know what each candidate thinks about the cancellation of Arrested Development. Are they over it, have they perhaps moved on to 30 Rock and the Office? Did they watch it once and never really get into it? Did they find all of the inside jokes grating and off-putting? Did they appreciate the humor but find 2 and a Half Men to be more their thing? These questions need answering.

I want to know whether candidates support Laura Roslin or Gaius Baltar and who they think is the final cylon.

JoePo, I started watching 'Its always Sunny in Philadelphia' instead.

Not nearly so clever, but it's still really funny.

Ron: They are both shitty Presidents, but they both were probably the best leaders for the time period they were involved.

There's still hope for the AD movie!

Well, um, who IS McCain's pastor? I kinda want to know now, for fairness sake.

Well, um, who IS McCain's pastor?
McCain's an Episcopalian, they don't have pastors, they have priest with wedding bands.
And McCain's a real Episcopalian, which means he doesn't go to church, except for Midnight Mass.

I want to know where is the legislation to match Sen. Clinton's gas tax rhetoric. She says she'd going to give relief THIS SUMMER in ads yet she hasn't introduced legislation that would actually make her plan a reality. Talk IS cheap.

Also, take a look at the titles of Sen. Clinton's legislation for the past few months compared to the legislation before that. Every title is a micropander to some slice of Mark Penn's pie. The earlier legislation actually resembles legislating.

Note: McCain introduced a bill (S.2890) to back up his stupid plan. He's old school like that.

Clinton released TV ads saying talk is cheap but no actual legislation that would make her plan a reality.

Reportedly, McCain's current church is the North Phoenix Baptist Church, pastor Dan Yeary, and McCain has been in attendance for 15 years.

Many of the radio broadcast sermons are available on the Church's website.

As Matt Y. points out, we can't forget pollsters. Apparently Geoff Garin, in his younger days, agitated for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government.

We can't, um, keep our heads in the sand about the danger Garin represents to our democracy. :D

When McCain's priest starts spewing racist crap and damning America, lemme know and I'll get on board...
