McCain cancels on Letterman “because of economy”, implodes

This is hilarious. Letterman is none too happy because he was jilted by McCain to “focus on the economy”; McCain then appears on Katie Couric’s show instead: What is even more hypocritical about McCain “suspending his campaign” (whatever that means, considering that he appeared on TV tonight) is that it was Obama who initially contacted […]

We do not support government bailouts of private institutions

This is taken directly from the 2008 Republican Platform: We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for […]

Is Congress perhaps growing a proto-spine? Hell No!

Bush is currently trying to ram his $700 Billion give-away to Wall Street down the throat of Congress, the same way he rammed the Iraq war and the Patriot act. But as Electoral Vote puts it: Even legislators who were easily cowed during the run-up to the Iraq war are beginning to show something that […]

McCain wanted to bet your Social Security money in a “casino”

McCain declared Thursday that the Securities and Exchange Commission had turned “our markets into a casino”. This begs the question — since McCain has long been a proponent of “privatizing” Social Security by investing its funds in the financial markets, doesn’t that mean that he wanted to bet your retirement on a casino? If McCain […]

The McCain doctrine of preemptive lying

Hypocrisy, Transparency, and Accountability

Today, Lehman Brothers Investmant Bank declared bankruptcy, brought down by the subprime mortgage crisis that it helped to create. To give you an idea of how bad this is, consider: The firm was 158 years old. It survived the Great Depression in the 1930s and countless other financial upheavals, but it could not survive its […]

Sarah Palin gets a Brazilian

If you came here because you have a dirty mind, it’s not that kind of Brazilian! The McCain campaign (or should we call it the Palin/McCain campaign) has announced the jet that Palin will be using for her “straight talk express” and getting straight to the point, she didn’t buy American. The jet is made […]

McCain – earmarks are bad, unless they are our earmarks

On the campaign trail, one of the earmarks that John McCain often made fun of was a request from Montana to study the DNA of bears. McCain would quip “I don’t know if that was a paternity issue or a criminal issue.” But if you look in Palin’s earmark requests for the upcoming year, you […]

According to Gosinski, John McCain used his Senate staff and resources […]

How to Spam Reality

We all know what “spam” is — the bulk email that fills our inbox with crap. Well, it looks like someone is doing the same thing to the New York Times bestseller list, using something called “bulk orders”. Let’s say you write a book and you really want it to be on the bestseller lists, […]
