And soon, John McCain will be able to do "a
google" himself...

It was just over a week ago we learned that John McCain didn't know to how to use a computer:

I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself.

And now, in phrasing usually reserved for describing a toddler's ability to use the bathroom, a McCain spokesman says:

He's fully capable of browsing the Internet and checking Web sites.

I hope someone gave him a cookie.

McCains Record Shows Little Reason Why He Would
Be Suited For Presidency

post from Crooks and Liars on 20 July 2008 10:00:46 PM. © Crooks and Liars

CNN’s AC 360° on Friday took a look at both of the Democratic and Republican candidates and their wives, and the short bio they did on John McCain gave viewers little reason, if any, why he would be very well suited at all to become our next President or our military’s Commander in [...]

Rep. Blunt Joins Chorus of Republicans Peddling
Hurricane Oil Spill Lies

post from Crooks and Liars on 20 July 2008 09:00:20 PM. © Crooks and Liars

On Sunday’s Late Edition Rep, Roy Blunt (R-MO), a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee who reliably votes in favor of the Oil & Gas industry and against renewable energy bills and has been rewarded in return, joined the month-long chorus of Republicans including McCain that have been making the demonstrably false [...]

A Different Kind of Iraqi Resistance

post from Firedoglake on 20 July 2008 08:52:50 PM. © Firedoglake

To say the least, it's been an interesting weekend for anyone following political developments involving the United States and Iraq. What's the real meaning of Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki's surprisingly explicit endorsement of Obama's proposed[...]

O'Reilly: "Birth control is not a medical
condition, it is a choice"

As the blog Think Progress noted,on the July 17 edition of Fox News' TheO'Reilly Factor, while discussing the issue of whether healthinsurance plans that cover Viagra should also cover birth control, host BillO'Reilly asserted: "Viagrais used to help a medical condition -- that's why it's covered. Birth controlis not a medical condition, it is a choice. Why should I or anybody else haveto pay for other people's choices?" But O'Reilly's assertionis contradicted by professional medical[...]

We've got to put and end to this kind of thing

I know Burma is just about as evil as Venezuela and Massachusetts, but I am very concerned about this approach to making change there:

The Panties for Peace campaign was launched by the women?s organization Lanna Action for Burma (LAB) on Oct. 16, 2007, in the hopes of bringing an end to the military regime?s rampant abuse of Burma?s population ? and the abuse of Burma?s women in particular.

[...]

The Panties for Peace campaign plays on the regime leaders? superstitious fear that contact with a woman?s underpants will rob them of their power. Women around the world are asked to post their panties to local Burmese embassies in a bid to strip the regime of its power and bring an end to its gross violations of human rights, especially those committed against Burma?s women.

What if the same tactics were used here? We all know how effective panties can be. They were an important part of our enhanced interrogation approach at Abu Ghraib. Do we want that kind of power turned against us?

At the very least, a panties attack could destroy our electoral chances in November--remember how sweaters sapped Our Presumed Leader's masculine vitality; imagine what a nice tiger striped thong would do to him. He might as well start singing show tunes now.

Some might say, "it can't happen here," but I'm here to warn you that it can. A fifth column of pantie warriors has arisen in the netroots. There is no-telling what damage they can do if we don't stop them now. That's why I am asking you to contact your congressman and demand legislation outlawing all feminine undergarments other than pantaloons--pantaloons are OK because a man can wear them too (yes, there is nothing wrong with that, dammit)--and, in order to get Sen. Vitter's backing, diapers as well.
