Conservative columnist Andrew Sullivan had to give up after trying to post a comment on McCain’s website: Even after I got an account, an ordeal in itself, clicking ‘Post a comment’ or ‘Reply’ made the ‘Take Action!’ page appear. Of course, the “Take Action!” page is the one that asks you for money. Even if he […]

Rumors are flying out of the John McCain camp that a surprising and seemingly counterintuitive choice for the vice presidential running mate is imminent. There may be a proposal afoot among Republicans to name Senator Larry Craig of Idaho as McCain’s running mate. The theory being that if, as expected in November, after eight years […]

In Propaganda 101, you learn a technique called “the Big Lie“. It was defined by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf as a lie so “colossal” that people believe it, because no one would suspect that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously”. You can probably guess where this is […]
All eyes are on Obama this week while he tours Afganistan, Iraq, and Israel. Even the New York Times says that Obama’s trip carries considerable risk. But they aren’t worried about Obama’s safety — the media are all waiting for him to make a gaffe. You know, even a little one (like when he mentioned […]

On Thursday, McCain communications director Jill Hazelbaker attacked Obama’s upcoming trip to the Middle East, saying “Let’s drop the pretense that this is a fact-finding trip and call it what it is: the first-of-its-kind campaign rally overseas”. McCain disagreed, saying that he was personally “glad” that Obama was making a trip to Iraq and Afganistan, adding […]
© Ruben Bolling What I find especially interesting about McCain’s proposed car battery contest is that like other poorly-thought-out government incentives, it warps the market. McCain’s contest assumes that the solution is a chemical battery, and ignores equally valid solutions — for example, the hybrid car that is about to be built that uses compressed […]

The website 23/6 makes a disturbing observation for beer drinkers everywhere. In 2000, the US elected two oil men — Bush and Cheney — and gas prices went through the roof. Now, the Republicans are trying to get us to vote for McCain, whose wife owns of one of the largest beer distributorships in the […]

Is it just me, or is JibJab not as good as they used to be? Oh well, this one is pretty funny. Plus you can put yourself into the movie, if you want.
© David Horsey What I find ironic is that while the images in The New Yorker cover were completely false (Obama as a Muslim terrorist?), there is video of McCain singing “Bomb Iran”, and Cindy McCain admitted to being addicted to pain killers (after she lied about it). So, the real cover contains falsehoods, while […]

ABC news has a story about super-rich American tax cheats who got caught avoiding taxes by setting up bogus shell companies in Liechtenstein. What’s interesting to me is that the the accounts were set up for the Americans by none other than the giant Swiss bank UBS. Hmmm. UBS, where have I heard that name […]
Last week, NPR did a report on the economic proposals of McCain and Obama. McCain’s centerpiece is tax cuts for the wealthy, while Obama champions a tax cut for the middle class. NPR ignored the fact that McCain is now promoting the same plan that he opposed 8 years ago, and that Bush’s tax cuts […]
