1. John McCain can divide by zero, thus defining his economic policy.2. John McCain doesn't need to balance a budget, he scares it into collapse.3. John McCain did not invent the Blackberry, he willed it into existence.4. John McCain did not lose multiple planes, they simply could not contain that much power.5.

The right is responding to the new Obama add that criticizes McCain for lack of technical savvy in world that demands it. They claim McCain was so brutalized by his jailers that he can no longer comb his hair or tie his shoes. A bit of a stretch when you consider these photos:

Okay, I guess you can say I am NOT a big fan of the Olympics. In truth, I consider it a huge pissing contest amongst the international community. Countries shell out the big bucks for their teams, transport, etc and you know its perfectly okay to spend this money because, you know, if you went on their streets there's no poor homeless people wandering around, undernourished children, etc.

As an old-fashioned bleeding heart liberal, my heart, well, bleeds to see the once-mighty Republican Party in such disarray. As Senators, Congressmen and apparatchniks depart in droves (or are quietly led away to, shall we say, secure quarters), it is urgent for the Party to recruit new members, men who share the party’s values, vision and goals. But the Party is floundering, unable to hold onto

(Click screenshot to play) Apparently to dispel myths of TSA and other airport security officers needlessly harassing travellers, they put this video in their myth busters section. They also have the audacity of putting up the official report. My cousin received similar treatment when attempting to leave NYC via JFK,a couple of years back.

It looks like the issue of Iraq, the surge, and the funding of a fiasco has officially been placed on the Congressional back burner until September. Its prominence in the news and the American psyche will only grow. Each death from now till Congress takes up the issue will be the price of being reasonable. I hate it.
