i demand more from our presidential candidates

Google has unleashed a cool news search device which allows you to search a topic say “dingos” or “baby” and lets you see if either presidential candidate has made a quote on that topic. It’s pretty fun to play with.

So I decided to use this tool as a test to see if Obama & McCain were truly in touch with the pressing issues of the day. I went over to Reuters.com and picked three stories that caught my interest:

• China breaks up male prostitution ring
• Police arrest naked burglary suspect
• Climbers find footprints of abdomible snowman

I took these topics into Google’s In Quotes application to see what Obama or McCain had to say about these pressing issues. I have to say that I am dismayed at the results:

So I guess to get these “candidates” attention these days you must either be an impending global financial crisis which could threaten our very way of life. I for one stand with the male prostitutes, naked burglars and abdomible snowmen and say for shame gentlemen.
