Hugh MacLeod’s pithy political commentary on Twitter, this morning.
[Update, 1600:] Since I’m getting a lot – a lot – of Google traffic on the search term “McCain Applesauce“, I feel honour-bound to refer you to a story which explains what Hugh’s comment was about. Here’s the Newsweek take. In brief:
“When John McCain descended on a Bethlehem, Penn. grocery store late yesterday afternoon, the unscheduled campaign stop, meant to highlight McCain’s concern over skyrocketing food prices, instead quickly became a theater for the absurd. First, a cameraman knocked over several glass jars of Mott’s applesauce, which rolled near McCain’s feet as he posed for a bevy of cameras while strolling the grocery aisles.”
In fairness, the Newsweek piece really should be doing better in Google than this post. Bad SEO package, bad SEO.
