Apparently, the “expansion” of the economy from 2001–2007 was weaker than any other post-World War II expansions. (via)

The folks over at Progressive Accountability have been working overtime to keep you up-to-date with John McSame’s far right-wing views, and documenting how dangerous they can be to your wealth and prosperity. For example: John McCain and Phil Gramm Love-InJohn McCain on Equal Pay (he says he for it, except when has had the opportunity to vote for it, he hasn’t voted for it)John McCain and the

John McCain denies saying he doesn’t know much about economic matters. Except he said it.

The Washington Post has analyzed the proposed tax plans from both Barack Obama and John McCain, and surprise! If you make less than $111,000 a year, you are better off with Obama’s tax plan. And double surprise! McCain’s tax plan gives the most relief to the very, very wealthy among us. Click for larger image.

Listen to what former four-star General Wesley Clark has to say about John McCain. “I know he’s trying to get traction by seeking to play to what he thinks is his strong suit of national security. The truth is that, in national security terms, he’s largely untested and untried. He’s never been responsible for policy formulation. He’s never had leadership in a crisis, or in anything larger than

Now that John McCain is running for President, he wants you to believe that he represents change from George W. Bush, but before he was running for President, he was quite proud of his support for Bush’s policies — his “active and very empassioned” support.

John McCain wants you to think he never was in favor of destroying privatizing Social Security. Don’t believe him.

Hundreds of thousands of people died. From a newly released report from the Senate Intelligence Committee: --Statements and implications by the President and Secretary of State suggesting that Iraq and al-Qa'ida had a partnership, or that Iraq had provided al-Qa'ida with weapons training, were not substantiated by the intelligence. --Statements by the President and the Vice President indicating

In a carefully choreographed event designed to carefully control the message, John McCain’s health records were “released” to about 20 reporters, who could view (but not copy) approximately 1200 pages of documents for a three hour time period. None of the reporters were doctors, nor were they allowed to speak to doctors via cell phones. Mark me down as not convinced about what headline writers

How’s this for a huge error? In the video of “Cheap Seats” by the country band Alabama, about 2:20 into the video, we see a runner slide into home plate, apparently coming from first base. What were they thinking?

We can build a wall to keep out immigrants for $460 million, but we can’t keep bridges from falling down, we cut budgets for schools and hospitals, and we cut benefits for veterans. The GOP continues their war on Democrats voting. But Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius (D) vetoes a bill that would prevent some Kansans from voting. Obama meets a Muslim imam in Detroit. Right-wingers go nuts. But

I have probably listened to Abbott and Costello’s brilliant comedy classic “Who’s on First” a zillion times, and it still brings a huge smile to my face. It was awarded the title “Routine of the Millenium” by Time Magazine.

Western Oregon softball player Sara Tucholsky, a senior, hits her first career home run, in an important game that would would help determine whether Western Oregon or their opponent Central Washington advance the NCAA Division II Playoffs.

Mark Nickolas goes looking for John McCain’s flag lapel pin, and finds that: Since at least March 4th -- when McCain secured the Republican presidential nomination -- through the present, he has not worn an American flag lapel pin on any of those days. Not one photo shows him doing so. How can John McCain call himself patriotic?

From Glenn Greenwald, interviewed by Paul Rosenberg: Like most right-wing leaders, the life of John McCain is chock full of dishonorable, ugly behavior. Huge numbers of female voters would be disgusted by the details of how and why he dumped his first wife, after she was in a disfiguring car accident that caused her to gain much weight and lose several inches of height, in order to marry his

Ten reasons why Spitzer’s case is different than Vitter’s. Larry Flynt wasn't tipped off first. IOKIYAR Spitzer lost his job, while Vitter has moved on with (risky) business as usual. The Republican leadership was outraged by Spitzer's behavior. Vitter? Not so much. In fact, they appear to be relieved that Vitter's prostitue was at least over the age of consent.
