Poll: McCain's Age is Fair Game?

Kos likes the front page to make fun of McCain's age. I personally think it's ok to point out places where the man's senility is showing through since he is going ot have his hand on the button (or not if we can help it).

We were not vigilant enough as a country when it came to President Reagan, so let's not make the same mistake twice. But pure age jokes, while funny, probably should not be on the table, well, unless they are HILARIOUS and not too mean (McCain's Social Security Number = 1?, Can't resist that one) -- my opinion.

What's your opinion? I want to see a lot of people vote in the poll because I'm curious. If you want to see votes, rec this up.

Latest Cheney Tape May Contain Evidence Of His Whereabouts

The Onion has been slipping for a long time, with longer and longer periods between sidesplitters, but they are back on this week:

WASHINGTON—Reports surfaced Tuesday that the New York–based Fox News Channel has obtained a tape which purportedly features another cryptic video message from U.S. vice president and known extremist Dick Cheney, widely regarded as the most feared man in America.

[The grainy image of the characteristically unsmiling Cheney is hilarious but I don't know how to copy it here without linking to the website]

Cheney calls on Americans around the world to join the fight in Iraq.
"We have analyzed the tape, and the voice on it matches up with earlier recordings of the vice president," said CIA spokesman George Little, who claimed the tape may contain valuable clues regarding the location of the elusive Cheney, who was last sighted in late 2005 along the border of Maryland and Virginia.

"Though more specific details on his whereabouts have yet to emerge, we do know two things," Little added. "Dick Cheney is still alive, and he is out there somewhere."

Leaked transcript confirms that she's entered the phase of the campaign where she chooses between her own fight for political survival and the good of the party and goes for her own self interest.

Hastert should resign his seat in Congress, but not because he spent ~~two~~ three years sitting on evidence of possible ~~harrasment~~ ~~pederasty~~ predatory behavior. Hastert's other scandal is that he used his position as Speaker of the House to enrich himself by securing federal earmarks for a Highway to Denny's House. See below the fold... Read More

Can we please resist the urge to abuse the poll feature of diary posts?

Here is a good use of polls: What is your sexual orientation and abuse history?
and here is a waste of space poll: Best word to describe Faux News broadcaster.

I just tiptoed through the polls and had to through about 50 to get to the real ones. These could be useful features if only we knew how to use them properly and did not clutter the list of polls with junk.

Bush caught in lie while defending torture

We are all familiar with Bush's recent speeches trying to get his party's collective ass out of a sling. But his latest one, a defense of torture, is, based on lies. THe speech would make ~~Goebbels~~ ~~Disney/ABC~~ Tom Clancy proud.

In the speech, Bush shows off how we learned so much information by torturing a guy named Abu Zubaydah. Too bad that's not actually true. Spencer Ackerman has the smackdown. Read More

Ok, it may not be next on the calendar, but the Sept 12 GOP primary in Rhode Island will be fun to watch. Just like Joe Lieberman, Senator Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) has a primary challenger who is bucking the national party to make a statement.

Freepers feel about Chafee the way folks here feel about about Lieberman except that they seem perfectly willing to sacrifice a Senate seat over it. The National Republican Party is supporting the incumbent and even attacking the challenger, as has been diaried nicely here by Pruitt. But the GOP has a much greater chance of losing a Senate seat over it.

"Silence isn't golden" getting old? How about a meta-diary with suggestions on how to announce those open threads?

"Because George W. Bush is still President."

"Exercise your Free Speech rights while you have 'em."

"Pimp your diaries here. On second thought, don't."

"Where O/T is OK."

"Which Republicans are you hating most today?"

"Open yer piehole."

"Let's start a Leftwing Noise Machine."

I hopped on the bus today here in DC and saw this Jamaican bus driver trying to help out a 17-year old kid who couldn't speak any English. The busdriver made a pretty good attempt at fake Spanish and held up the bus for three cycles of the light to try and help the kid, but it was a lost cause.

Being more or less fluent in Spanish, I jumped in and asked the kid if I could help. Read More

When Bush is out of office and hopefully replaced by a Democrat, or at least a reality-based politician, will the world go back to normal?

Here are some steps that would help me feel like the ship of state that Bush capsized has been righted. Read More
