oh Joel, as the first key is hit, it's generally too late to worry about that.

The "assignment" was to write about your opinion on winning in Iraq. Instead, McCain gave his opinion on Obama. Geez, the first 5 minutes of McCain's stump speech has more info than his essay.

You know, I did this in college, freshman writing. The first assignment was so dumb, I doubled the page count and wrote about how dumb the assignment was, using the text, Machiavelli, to back up my assertions. Got a B+ and a stern lecture, which seems to be a lot better than McCain got from his teacher.
