Living the Liminal

Yeah - McCain used the word “trollop.” The gall of him.
Oh yeah, and that other word . . .

So I loved the musical theatre bit and wanted to come up with a song list for the rest of the musical:

I’m Old, but Dagnabit I’m Young Enough for You
Women, Git Yerself Educated
War Hero War Hero War [...]

Umm . . .

They’re mad as hell, and Hillary Clinton’s supporters aren’t going to take it anymore.
Some Clintonites are so mad about Barack Obama’s Tuesday victory that they’ve launched a web site to build support to launch a lobbying group to support Republican John McCain.
“We’re going to run campaign ads to defeat Obama,” says Ed [...]

Can someone explain to me why Obama gets dragged over coals because of his association with Reverend Wright and McCain proclaims this jackass a “moral compass” and the mainstream press just skip merrily on past the hypocrisy of someone like McCain pandering to a dangerous, religious ideologue who probably has more in common with Osama [...]

So you think that McCain is against the use of torture? After all, he was tortured so he must be against it. He says he’s against it, so he must be against it (because politicians never ever lie).

The media consensus that national security is some sort of great asset for McCain is completely baseless. Just go read [...]

Congress passed a law that will let forgive Federal Student Loans for all public servants after 10 years of repayment:

SEC. 401. LOAN FORGIVENESS FOR PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYEES.
Section 455 (20 U.S.C. 1087e) is further amended by adding at [...]

For all those who think McCain will be a good president . . . for all those who think McCain is a moral man . . . (and for those of us who don’t) . . .

[Update: Disclaimer - It's supposed to be funny and part of the joke is that it is parodying an [...]

Cnet News has an excellent article about the recent vote on telco immunity:

The vote was on an amendment to deny AT&T and other telecommunications companies legal immunity if they are proven in court to have violated federal privacy law by opening their networks to the National Security Agency.

Obama voted for the Amendment. McCain [...]
