What the hell is up with McGrumpy?

He does remember that his party has been in power for most of the last eight years, right?

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) -- John McCain promises "change" in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday, according to excerpts of the speech released by the party.

"Let me offer an advance warning to the old, big-spending, do-nothing, me-first, country second Washington crowd: Change is coming," the Republican presidential candidate says.

He must mean stuff like this and guys like this.

And is a guy who's willing to risk a new Cold War with nuclear-armed Russia over the defense of crappy little tinpot dictator-wanna-bees like Saakashvili really putting "country first"?

I see as well McGrumpy's doing the "Alaska borders Russia" thing, too. Cripes. I expect the next iteration of this kind of thing to be "Sarah Palin goverened a state with lots of wilderness. Wilderness where polar bears live. They eat people, you know!"
