John ‘Bomb,Bomb’ McCain wrote his autobio (Faith of My Fathers) in 1999 to head of/pre-empt investigators into his dark, immature, irresponsible, criminal past.
After reading his own account, one comes away w/ the decided impression that the man is totally insane, soul twisted and worse….

Then reading accounts of some US Vets in “The Nightingale’s Song” by Robert Timberg, which included McCain’s murderous acts against his own shipmates, setting two US ships on which he served on fire, w/ many deaths (100′s) on board through his deliberate irresponsibility, plus betraying his poor Vietnamese rescuer from his
plane wreck by not acknowledging him, though the Vietnamese official records were clear in McCains rescue.

He gave up all secrets immediately when questioned by the VietCong.

His autobio says it all, except for his treatment of his current wife, Cindy, continuing his dark, grotesquely monstrous side….

Over the years I have worked hard to improve as a communicator, but my natural experience of expanding while I write does not make for a crisp, objectively organized style of writing.

That’s why it took me three months of bliss to write my first draft of “Empowered by Empathy” and 3 1/2 years to edit it and make the book intelligible to other human beings.

Maybe it’s not a coincidence that I write at the leading edge. Readers often thank me for expressing things they had experienced but never found words for. Balance that against the rest (or maybe combine them) to understand where I’m coming from, doing my best to communicate.

One reason I like this blog is that it gives readers a chance to ask questions. And me a chance to answer them. Or, even better, have them answered for me by a blog-star like that Ryan!

My reason for bringing up McCain’s girth was about MEDIA. Here are the relevant parts:

“Did you have any idea that McCain had achieved these epic physical proportions? Now, there’s nothing wrong with life writ large, either physically or politically. But I find it fascinating that never before have I seen a photo of McCain that shows him clearly from the waist down. By comparison, Dick Cheney looks positively petite.

“I’ll guarantee you that any Democrat contender with this girth would have been excoriated… just as Al Gore was, at his heaviest. For a public personality, McCain sure has been given unusual media cover-up.”

If you read much at this blog, or my regular website, you’ll discover that:
1) I couldn’t be less a proponent of ageism
2) I don’t do any kind of body worship, including the shallow kind
3) The form of face reading I do isn’t the ancient kind so much as a contemporary version, one I trademarked as Face Reading Secrets(R), which is even more free-willish than older varieties.

So, please, keep reading and keep commenting, too. Great to meet you,

Exactly what I would expect from a presidential candidate!

I can’t wait for part two. (I’m no face reader either.)

I sense that McCain has been almost willing to make a faustian pact in order to win the Republican nomination. I don’t care what he said about the 2000 campaign being,”just politics”. He was really stung and angry and did not think well of George Bush..nor does he now.

He seemed to go against his own personal instincts to try to garner support from the “right wing”. When he went to Bob Jones University to speak…I thought…”sellout”. He is not the same maverick he used to be. Just my thoughts.
