Nothing says the 4th of July quite like having your car broken into, again. Sigh.

I guess this is the solution to rising gas prices: instead of spending money on America's large oil conglomerates, I can wisely spend money on a deductible for America's large insurance companies!

On the plus side, it still drives like a charm, and this is just another reason to keep the top down. Even better, the rain that was let in from the storm when the vandals sliced the top actually cleaned my rear seat. Now that's service!

I told you so.

Further, there is likely to be more structure brought to a political operation that has largely been delegated to the Regional Campaign Managers. The campaign currently has no political or field director.

The lack of any real campaign apparatus was idiotic from the get-go. I'm sad that McCain will be tougher to beat moving forward, but at least the retooling will take some energy away from him. The more he rebuilds, the less donors will give him, which feeds a vicious cycle.
