The McCain Campaign used the Supreme Court's ruling to affirm the American right to carry a pistol as a pretext to correct Charlie Black's blunder regarding Benazir Bhutto's assination by saying that had the Pakistani people had a man with the wisdom of John Roberts as their Chief Supreme Court Justice, Bhutto's supporters would have been carrying pistols at the time of Bhutto's appearance and would have shot Bhutto's assasin before he had time to kill her.
Like coal. America's premier fossil fuel.
Anyone who thinks Bush and Cheney care about beating the truth out of Al Qaeda has rocks in his head. This President's truths are pre-fabricated before the prisoner even undergoes torture, and all that's required is that the prisoner play along by saying what George Bush wants to hear. Obviously, no information of use has been extracted, otherwise bin Laden would have been captured years ago.
After the treatment progressives have received by the Fred Hiatts and David Broders, it seems reasonable that liberals would regard the New Yorker's motives with suspicion. True, the cover would be amusing if you didn't know what Fox News was going to do with it.
Wouldn't it be cool if the New Yorker had published a cartoon of McCain as a prisoner in a tiger cage dressed in rags on the top of Straight Talk express making a speech to a small crowd, with Phil Graham and Joe Lieberman portrayed with slanted eyes in Viet Namese prison guards, each one leading doberman pinchers. Perhaps, Joe Lieberman could cradle a large car battery connected to cables attached to McCain's penis.
I have two funny Germans for you:

McCain is a man of passion, not reason. The only technologies McCain has ever had a burning passion for is napalm and viagra.

Miss Palin is hardly an unknown. More than 60 million Americans have read her story. Tim LaHaye reportedly based his heroine in the best selling "Left Behind" series on the trials and tribulations of Miss Palin's own life.
Former US fugitive Eric Rudolph has pleaded guilty to carrying out the 1996 Olympic bombing as well as other blasts in Atlanta and Alabama.
Rudolph, 38, admitted to the crimes first in a court in Birmingham, Alabama, and then later in Atlanta.
Last week Rudolph agreed a plea bargain that means he receives four life sentences without parole but avoids the death penalty.
The four blasts killed two people and injured more than 120 others.

In Birmingham, Alabama, Rudolph admitted to being behind a 1998 abortion clinic bombing that killed a police officer.
In Atlanta, Georgia, he admitted to attacks there, including the blast during the 1996 Olympics that killed a woman and injured 100 and an attack on a gay nightclub.
The fatal blast marred the Olympic Games and led to fears of US domestic terrorism.
Rudolph is suspected of following a white supremacist sect that is against abortion.
So far, the idea of Todd and Sarah Palin' making sweet, sweet love has aroused the Republican base. However, what they hunger for is the day when Sarah Palin' will be elected to make sweet, sweet love to the Republican base, 24/7.
I will homeschool my 5 year daughter before I allow Barack Obama to teach her about sexual intercourse.
Are we sure it's not the BORSCHT BELT Palin sees from her window? Because she is one funny gal!
I think it odd that Pops Palin finked on the son-in-law after he ate his poached moose.
Salon's trend experts are spot on when they say this election revolves around the concept of comfort zone.
Unfortunately, this year, an important part of electorate find themselves overwhelmed by the fact that both John McCain and Miss Palin are Heroes and Mavericks. Because they know themselve to be of a weaker fiber than McCain and Miss Palin, they are allowing their inferiority complexes to determine voting choice.
In different times, before the advent of moral relativism and widespread acceptance of deviant sexuality, Heroism and the qualities of a Maverick would have been eagerly embraced by the populace at large. These days, for most Americans, demonstration of these qualities by great Republican men and women, are a source of intimidation.
