Thank god I wasn't the only one to notice that McCain never once looked at Obama during the first debate. Apparently this condescending behavior carries to his day job too. (Mike)

Tim Dickinson's article in Rolling Stone brutalizes John McCain's hero status. And Brandon Friedman from VetVoice nails his piss poor Veteran voting record. h/t to Firedoglake. (7 of 6)

Looking good for Obama in Florida! Quinnipiac Poll has Obama up 51 - 43 over McRube. If Obama takes Florida, he easily takes the Election. Democrats need all the good news they can get after 8 years of the W.orst P.resident E.ver! (7 of 6)

I'm not sure this is the way to attract people: Iraqi government will permit physicians, who fled the country after the U.S. invasion and occupation, to carry firearms if they return. (Mike)

This pissed me off to no end on my early Monday morning. I certainly hope the IRS goes after these Chruches with the full force of the law. "Pulpit politics: Pastors to defy IRS." "Some plan to endorse a candidate Sunday, challenging federal rules that limit partisan activity by tax-exempt groups." Imagine that, all those white pastor's endorsed John McCain! (7 of 6)

At this point, if Bill Clinton isn't going to campaign for Barack Obama, he should STFU. It's obvious that he is still sore that Hillary lost or worse... he is no longer the Alpha Male in the Democratic Party. If the "Big Dog" doesn't have complimentary things to say about Barack and help him win, just find a porch to sit on. (7 of 6)
