Recently, while unloading groceries my son spotted an Obama poster in a storefront window. He said Obama looked like the president then informed me that Obama was a liar. Needless to say I was horrified. I must say that I have attempted to shield him from the rhetoric of this campaign so I was surprised he really even recognized Obama or was cognizant of his quest for the presidency. I've always felt he was too young to bring into political or religious conversations other than general "do the right thing" type statements.

I am writing a blog rant to send to my conservative friends who seem to be unable to put this election in a historical context. I thought I'd run it by the Kossacks to see if I missed anything. I did not go into as much depth as I would have liked but their attention span is questionable...

McCain has sold his soul to attain the highest office in our land. I originally wanted to use a different adjective but restraint got the better of me.

I have been trying to wrap my head around this campaign, but in the end, it has confirmed my worst fears about certain segments of society. I have been following politics for 20 of my 33 years on this planet and have never seen a more despicable campaign.

My first diary is actually part of the literature review for my graduate thesis. WaPo brought an obscure conservative appropriations rider to my attention a while back and I thought it would be a great issue to look at from a research point of view. I will update this diary with my findings. More can be found at (www.ewonk.com).

The Data Quality Act (DQA) is an obscure yet controversial rider to the General Appropriations Bill of 2001. The DQA requires all federal agencies to issue guidelines that help ensure the accuracy and quality of any information that they publish or distribute, while allowing individuals or groups to challenge the legitimacy of that data. As public administration is based in law, it is important to examine the legal implications that the Data Quality Act will have on administrators and their ability to enforce laws, regulate industry and ensure public well-being.
