"All Hail DadCentric!"

Jason at DadCentric just posted a brilliant essay that aggregates all the best (read: most egregious) examples of how McCain lost all of his vaunted integrity in his no-holds-barred-(anymore) grab for the White House.

It starts off with a great analogy, and only gets better from there:

An analogy: let's say your town has no restaurants.

One day, you and your neighbors get together and vote on which restaurant will be allowed to set up shop in your neighborhood. Applebee's wins by the tiniest of margins.

Ok, you think. Normally, I'd rather eat the ass out of a dead rhinoceros than eat at Applebee's, but I'll make do.

Eight years go by, and you and 79% of your fellow townspeople are pretty fucking sick of Applebee's. Christ, how much Nacho Cheese Smothered Chicken Fried Steak can one eat? Clearly, it's time to make a change.

The senior leadership at Applebee's, not wanting to relinquish their stranglehold on your tastebuds (the ones that haven't been seared away from years of Onion Loaf and Rhubarb Creme Pie), tries to convince you that they are actually the agents of change. They propose bringing on a new manager.

Problem is, despite the new manager's background (his character was forged in the ghastly crucible of a Denny's kitchen, and the horror he encountered there has greatly influenced his worldview), IT'S STILL FUCKING APPLEBEE'S.

As you read the rest of Jason's post, click every link. Read every article. Puke.

Then send to all your friends, with the same instructions.

Thank you, Jason - from just another member of "that sorely disenfranchised group of Americans, 'Dads Who Give A Shit About Their Kids.'"
