Just as his campaign is zeroing in on Barack Obama's character in an attempt to reverse its slide in the polls, Mr McCain must fend off well-nigh irrefutable evidence that his running mate, far from being a public-spirited scourge of corruption, is little more than a small town score-settler.

So, aren't; there laws about slander, and, well, inciting riots among the stupid?

McCain's Michigan regional headquarters are housed in the office building of foreclosure specialists Trott & Trott, responsble for more foreclosures in the state than anyone else. Now GOP there are floating a rule that would mean people without homes couldn't vote.

Like all wars, the dark, untold stories of the Iraqi conflict drain from its shattered landscape like the filthy waters of the Tigris. And still the revelations come.

Sarah Palin is only 2 or 3 degrees removed from the man that McCain swears he would pursue to the gates of hell (Osama Bin Laden).

"Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he is palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin said, ignoring the fact that she endorses a political party that wants to see her home state become its own country.

So, essentially, thew McCain camp is saying: "he's black, and so is this other guy! Ah, look out for the black people!"

Some great Wordpress work has just joined the creative commons. I've been a fan of Brian's work for a while and this is great news for developers out there.

I think people should agree to used "bomb" in the subject line of every email one some given day.

The archive contains eight stories censored or removed from the on-line archives of the Guardian, Observer, Telegraph and New Statesman. Seven stories were removed in their entirety and one partly redacted following legal pressure by Iraqi-British billionaire fraudster Nadhmi Auchi who has been linked to US senator Barack Obama via the so-called "Rezko Affair". The action was taken during April-June 2008.

Lullabot has an interesting critique on the ASP.Net experience from the viewpoint of a former ASP.Net developer. I've been fending off developers touting this Ford Pinto of the web programming world since starting my current job and this post is going into my arsenal against them.

If you're answer is 'no' click and vote. If it's not, go ask your god for forgiveness because he can't stand her.

"Governors of St Monica's High School in Bury - who have previously criticised the jab for `encouraging sexual promiscuity' - have decided they don't want pupils vaccinated on school grounds." I dub thee: Idiots!

the US Government is scrambling to rescue our banks by purchasing their "distressed assets", i.e., assets that no one else wants to buy from them. Get your share of the bailout here. (not really)

Interesting how investment banking firms are suddenly embracing regulation, socialism, bankruptcy protection and all the things they don't want regualr individuals to have all of a sudden. Why don't bankers jump off buildings when things go bad anymore?
