This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a long time.

This is the best picture from last night’s debate. McCain looks like he’s about to lose it.

This is why McCain must not be our next president. An erratic hothead like him would be even more dangerous than Bush.

How is this not a hate crime?

DAYTON — A 10-year-old girl sprayed in the face with a chemical Friday, Sept. 26, while at a local Islamic mosque was not the victim of a hate crime, police Chief Richard Biehl said.

The girl was watching children whose parents and relatives had gathered at the Islamic Society of Greater Dayton, 26 Josie St., to celebrate Ramadan when she noticed two men standing outside a basement window about 9:40 p.m., according to police.

One of the men then sprayed something through the open window and into the girl’s face from a white can with a red top, according to a police report. The girl said she immediately felt burning on her face and felt “sick to her stomach,” the report stated.

Other children and a woman in the room felt affects from the chemical and the mosque was evacuated.

If they weren’t Muslims, it would be all over the news and it would certainly be called a hate crime. The attack is widely believed to be inspired by a terror scare DVD being distributed by a pro-McCain group.

Although tonight’s debate hasn’t happened yet (and until just recently it wasn’t certain that it would take place), McCain’s campaign is already running an ad saying they won the debate.

WTF? Shouldn’t the president be capable of doing more than one thing at once? I guess it might cut in to his nap time.

A lot of people were wondering what the building behind McCain during his speech last night was. Talking Points Memo solved the mystery – it’s Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, CA.

An even bigger mystery is why they chose that picture. I’m guessing it went something like this:

Speech Writer: Get me a picture of the Walter Reed Medical Center.

Flunky 1: OK, I’ll do an image search on Google.

Flunky 1: Here’s a good one.

Flunky 2: I don’t think that’s the Walter Reed Medical Center.

Speech Writer: Ah hell… at least it has “Walter Reed” in the name. Go with it anyway. Nobody will know the difference.

As you’ve probably heard, Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant. Although there are calls to stay away from the subject, this is a political issue due to Palin’s views. Sarah Palin is anti-choice and supports abstinence-only education, even though studies have shown that abstinence-only education has raised teen pregnancy rates.

Sarah Palin? I’m sure McCain could have found a more experienced woman like Elizabeth Dole.

McCain’s choice is such obvious pandering to the 20 or so disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters who haven’t come to their senses. He found someone already tainted with scandal and with less experienced than Obama. As a creationist and anti-choice candidate, she’s also aimed at the theocratic base that wasn’t comfortable with McCain.

Via Strategy ’08: In January, McCain made it clear that voters who felt the economy was the most important issue shouldn’t vote for him.

“Even if the economy is the, quote, number one issue, the real issue will remain America’s security,” he said. “If it’s not the most important issue in the minds of many voters, America’s security will remain the number one issue with me. And if they choose to say, ‘Look, I do not need this guy because he’s not as good on home loan mortgages,’ or whatever it is, I understand that. I will accept that verdict.
