You remember how every 5 minutes in 2004 we got a TERROR ALERT from Homeland Security, and then after Bush was re-elected the TERROR ALERTs seemed to go away? And then Tom Ridge admitted that at least a few of them were politically motivated?

John McCain mixes up countries again. But he was 7 when Pearl Harbor went down so don’t question his military service.

Of all the stupid things related to political coverage that I hate, this is at the top of the list. It is the simplification of politics to the point of a WWE match. Except it doesn’t work that way. The only real win-loss moments are election days, everything else is conjecture by jackasses.

Lying down with fleas, etc.
But one McCain supporter, retired Col. Bud Day, who was held prisoner with McCain in Vietnam, said the attacks on McCain were nothing like the swift boat attacks. He helped produce those attacks against Kerry, which were true, he said. The attacks against McCain are not, he added.

Some things remain the same.
The Cowboys have been America’s Team for three decades. Now it seems like they’re building America’s Most Wanted’s team.
It wasn’t enough for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to bring in Terrell Owens when Owens was considered the most selfish player in the NFL. He had to bring in serial gun nut Tank [...]

I’ve got two responses to the right clutching their pearls and fainting because a few people think that while honorable, John McCain’s military service isn’t the end-all and be-all of why he should be commander-in-chief.
KTHXBI.

It’s called not accepting the campaign ads and material as gospel truth.
“He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee. And he has traveled all over the world. But he hasn’t held executive responsibility. That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded — that wasn’t a wartime squadron,” Clark said.

You know, it’s one thing if someone gets an email forward and they believe it because it comes from a trusted authority like their friend. That is understandable. But when it crosses the line into stupidity is when you are given the evidence and are still foolish enough to stick with the misinformation.

Pixar does it again. Great story, spectacular visuals, and pretty amazing that the two main characters (Wall-E and Eve) really can’t talk yet do a better job of communicating than 90% of Hollywood.
