ISP will be welcoming a number of guest bloggers in the coming months to report on the 2008 Presidential campaign, including the venerable C.W. Eversham, who has reported on every American presidential campaign since Dwight Eisenhower's re-election in 1956.

While I enjoyed the cuisine, a hot piping cup of coffee and a prune danish, which has had a slight laxative effect, I was greatly disappointed in the service. By my lights, a "bottomless cup" does not mean that the waitress doesn't have to chop, chop, on the re-fills. In lieu of a tip, and commensurate with my philosophy of teaching a man to fish, I gave the young filly of a waitress a lecture on her responsibility to each diner, regardless of the amount of the tab.
As part of our continuing series to provide different viewpoints surrounding the events leading up to the Presidential Election, we today welcome guest blogger, Jerry Weltz. Mr. Weltz has had his comments published over 43,000 times on The Daily Kos website, always accompanied by his familiar tagline, "Zero tolerance for Republican bullshit".
"Ummmm . . . McCain? How 'bout . . . uh, no?
