Hot Air » Blog Archive » Gore Vidal blows the lid off McCain’s Vietnam captivity:
These comments are wrong, it was wrong when such attacks were directed at John Kerry and it is wrong now against McCain.
"And what about Mr. McCain? Disaster. Who started this rumor that he was a war
hero? Where does that come from, aside from himself? About his suffering in the
prison war camp?"
These comments are wrong, it was wrong when such attacks were directed at John Kerry and it is wrong now against McCain.
A McCain-Lieberman ticket? | Salon News
A McCain-Lieberman ticket? Salon News:
This could be a strong pair in the election.
"But in a presidential year filled with firsts (African-American nominee,
serious woman candidate, former POW to be his party's standard-bearer),
Lieberman retains the intriguing potential to become the first Jewish,
party-crossing, second-time-around vice-presidential nominee in American
history."

Disney Has Already Chosen Its Miley Cyrus Successor, and Her Name is Demi Lovato / Jossip:
The push is really on for the next Miley. I don't think this has as much to do with Miley's behavior as it does the drive for a new face.
"Hannah Montana’s ratings are down, she’s growing up, and Disney needs new paper
to print its tween cash on. That’s why they’ve already found Miley Cryus’
successor in 15-year-old Texas Demi Lovato."
The push is really on for the next Miley. I don't think this has as much to do with Miley's behavior as it does the drive for a new face.

Crooks and Liars » McCain-Giuliani ‘08?:
If McCain runs with Giuliani, Obama would have to run with Clinton to lose.
"I have my own personal nomination for vice president for McCain. It’s Rudy
Giuliani, precisely because he shares the vision of a practical, reforming,
war-winning Republican Party that inspires John McCain, plus the
stronger-than-usual grounds for hoping that he might be the rare candidate who
can make a difference in an essential state — in this case, New Jersey."
If McCain runs with Giuliani, Obama would have to run with Clinton to lose.

PoliPundit.com » McCain Calls for Offshore Drilling:
There is a certain smugness to being too good to developing oil resources that have a small potential to damage our environment, while we consume with abandon resources from parts of the world that are heavily damaging theirs. Which isn't to say that we shouldn't protect our environment, but that we need to take a new look at our place in the world.
"John McCain has reversed his position on offshore drilling and now supports
ending the Federal ban that prevents said drilling"

This is going to be a problem that is going to develop, news of a crime always gets more news-hits than a story about a persons crime being dismissed. With Google, the suggestion that the old stories could be deleted doesn't address the problem, when the cached copy will remain on Google's servers. Second if there is a question about which headline to believe regarding a crime, one declares the person is innocent and the other guilty - the average person will assume guilt.
"So let’s say your news organization publishes a story about some guy
who’s arrested/charged in a crime. Three months later, he’s acquitted. But when
you Google his name, the original story about his arrest appears at the top. The
story about his acquittal is buried two pages down."

lgf: McCain Proposes Nuclear Power, Jane Fonda Has Nightmares#rss:
I think that nuclear power should be discussed, it doesn't have to be the final solution to our energy needs, but it can serve to bring down the amount of carbon based energy we use, while other technology is developed. In the long run, it may even become a part of a mixed basket of energy sources.
"SPRINGFIELD, Missouri (Reuters) - Republican John McCain would put the United
States on course to build 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030 if elected president,
the Arizona senator said on Wednesday."

Just as the music industry didn't understand about file sharing and the reality of MP3s as a form of music that it would be better to embrace than to fight.
"'The AP has an obvious interest in preventing its work from being used for free
by outlets that compete with its paying customers,' says a Los Angeles Times
editorial, 'but it seems to misunderstand how the Internet has changed the way
people find and discuss the news.'"

Pregnancy Boom at Gloucester High - TIME:
I am just in shock, and really don't know what to say.
"All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting
students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and
raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. 'We found out one of the
fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,' the principal says, shaking his head."

Wonkette: The D.C. Gossip » Blog Archive » Keith Olbermann Once Dated A Terrible Person!:
Wow, Laura did that!
"Keith Olbermann is insane, Chris Matthews is insane, and Tom Brokaw is
ashamed to be anywhere near them. MSNBC is a hilarious train wreck of scurrilous
hobos, one which Brokaw can only defend by describing planets crashing into the
sun, as a good thing, for a hearty paragraph. Also: Tim Russert is dead, and
Keith Olbermann used to date Laura Ingraham."
Wow, Laura did that!
