Time For A Real Offensive Against Terrorism  Obama keeps talking sense.

"Today, we will focus on nuclear, biological, and cyber threats -- three 21st century threats that have been neglected for the last eight years."

Even by McCain standards, this is pretty outrageous.  McCain fights against the bill to increase GI benefits -- in fact, nearly kills it.  Then, when it passes the Senate, McCain doesn't even show up to vote.  Then, after it's done, he boasts about "we" have accomplished.  Obama, by the way, supported and showed up in the Senate to vote for the bill.  

Stop!  My sides are hurting!  This is toooooo funny!
Larry Craig and David Vitter — “two United States Senators implicated in extramarital sexual activity” — have named themselves as co-sponsors of S.J. Res. 43, the Marriage Protection Amendment. If passed, the bill would amend the Constitution to declare that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.”

Weekend edition, because it's happenin'!  See below.

All Hail McDifferent!

See how CNN manages to get through a list of policies where Bush and McCain agree without mentioning Iraq or the War on Terror ...

 Liberal media my ass.

McCain IS the greater cause!

As is common with John McCain, the idea of supporting a cause greater than self-interest is invoked. But in this case, it's an invocation to give money to John McCain.
The cause, in short, is greater than your self -- it's the greater glory of John McCain. That, my friends, is the kind of change you can really believe in.

 
Yep, there's Jesus, Allah and John McCain...

Your mind-boggling banquet awaits below...

So, what are the McCains hiding? Cindy McCain was asked about releasing her tax returns, on the Today show, and reiterated that she would never release them -- ever -- even if she becomes First Lady:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vZi6...

We're All Hacks Atrios is right

It's important to remember that none of us are above the fray, that we all have hackish tendencies to suppress information which doesn't fit our worldview and privilege information that does. We're more likely to excuse behavior from people we like and exaggerate the ills of people we don't like. I try to fight hackish tendencies especially during this intra-Dem battle, but I don't claim to have superhuman Nonhack powers.

For the record, I make no effort to be above the fray nor any pretense of being fair or balanced.  I'm not only a member of the Hack Club for Men, I'm the president.  It's good to know your own filters....

Q.  How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A.  Three.  Two to hold the giraffe in the bathtub while the third pours in the multi-colored hand tools.
