If you want to understand more about John McCain esp his views of war, I highly recommend this FreshAir interview with David Kirkpatrick of the NY Times, who has been researching McCain's life, esp starting around minute 23, where he talks about lessons McCain learned from Vietnam. It does a lot to explain how he views the war in Iraq, and how he's likely to proceed if he wins the election.

Young Legend told me this last night, and now Semtex has confirmed it: Kanye’s next single will be called “Love LockDown” and his 4th LP is on track to hit stores in December. It will not be called Good Ass Job. MTV UK is saying the Yeezy single is scheduled for release through iTunes on Monday, but I think they’re talking out of their ass. We’ll see. Curtis, you’re probably going to want to hold ...

Salim sez, "Ask Metafilter tackles the important question: 'How would you dispose of the body without getting caught?' - the asker insists that he is not a murderer, nor does he have any intent to murder... but I'm not sure about the responses. One for lovers of crime-fiction." From June, 2004 -- wonder how much of this is different today? " First, be smart from the very beginning. Pulverize all teeth, burn off fingerprints, and ...

Here’s one line of an e-mail from Wonkette tipster “Little R. Hen,” so secretive: “the first dude has a john edwards problem times ten zillion.” You heard it here first: Todd Plain gets four-thousand-zillion dollar haircuts. THERE ISN’T EVEN THAT MUCH MONEY ON EARTH, and yet.

Former mayor of 7,000, 1+ year as frontier state Governor, 1984 Mrs. Wasilla Alaska = 2nd more powerful person in the most powerful country in the world? Sorry just doesn't add up.Seriously I had a WTF moment this morning as my wife and I discussed this pick. First it totally destroys McCain's argument that Obama is inexperienced. Second you place a person in the VP with less experience than Dan Quayle. Third you completely insult ...

John McCain made a vice presidential choice, but no one knows her? Time to establish a complete waste-of-time TWITTER MEME in which one may use other INTERNET MEME JOKES to describe her. This is the most important Internet development since TUMBLR. Oh who are we kidding. We’re still getting over the lack of Mittens on this ticket, and it’ll take some time. [Twitter]

1. It certainly was creative and thought-stimulating. 2. However... it shows McCain thought he was losing to Obama and needed to do something bold that would stir things up. And he certainly did that. 3. However... no matter how well they vetted her, even if nothing terrible shows up, she has no experience in the world, and virtually no experience in the United States. What does she know about American cities? Our industries and businesses? ...
