The Red Brick Times

Rolling Stone has published a short biography of John McCain titled "Make-Believe Maverick, A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty."

Wow. To call this unflattering doesn't do it justice. It's scathing. I have to wonder how McCain (or his RNC handlers really) will respond. On one hand you can't let something like this go unchallenged, but on the other hand any response will just draw more attention to it.

Ken Burns, perhaps the greatest documentarian of American history we've ever had, isn't too thrilled about Palin/McCain either.

And, just to make your day complete, Sarah speaks out about freedom of the press.

I got a call from Obama campaign HQ last night. A real person. Female. Young but experienced enough to talk intelligently. "Do you know who you are voting for?" she asked. "Absolutely," I replied. "Would you care to share your decision?" she queried. "I never discuss my vote until I get into the booth with myself," I rejoindered. "Well, do you have some thoughts on the debates?" she pressed. I paused and polled my brain cell. "If the government gave every man, woman and child in the USA $100,000 each, to apply either toward existing debt or against future retirement, and stipulated that no recipient could incur any further debt for the next five years, or they had to give it back, it would do more good and cost less than $700 billion going toward propping up the systems that have caused the problems in the first place," I pontificated. "That's a really good idea," she congratulated me. "Have you ever thought of running for office?"

Well that was a chilling thought, best put soon out of its misery. So I told her she was doing good work and disengaged as soon as I could. Another narrow escape.
