Bush’s veto of the Medicare bill early has been overridden by Congress. Here are the numbers: House: 383-41 Senate:70-26 Not sure if McCain showed up for the vote, but I highly doubt it.
This is interesting, and Andrew Sullivan sums it up best: How fuck-you to McCain-Lieberman is that? Amen!
The L.A. Times has uncovered court documents that contradict McCain’s account of his divorce from his first wife and marriage of his second. As it turns out, McCain was still married when he married Cindy. This is the “family values” the Republicans boast about, and McCain is a perfect example of it.
Since Rove’s influence over McCain’s campaign seems to be growing by the minute, I wonder how FOX can get by with labeling him as such? Oh wait – it is FOX, so they aren’t news, they are the propaganda station. These are the same people who called the rest of the media “fear mongers” when […]
Olbermann went through last night and highlighted all the McCain flip flops that have taken place over the past several years. Damn there’s a lot of them:

Oregon Senator Gordon Smith is trying to align himself with Obama in his latest ad: To be fair, Smith has been an outspoken critic of Iraq, but the Obama campaign isn’t buying into this attempt of Smith’s to save his butt: Barack […]
The biggest failure with the Iraq War has been the total lack of planning. The people who laid out good plans lost their jobs, and instead the administration has decided to wing the entire thing. That deadly mentality is continuing: The administration lacks an updated and comprehensive Iraq strategy to move beyond the “surge” of […]
Obama leads McCain by 15 points (51-36) in the latest Newsweek poll. If this is the “bump” they were saying Obama would see after securing the nomination, then McCain needs to just drop out now. (updated to change from 16 points to 15 points. That’s what I get for doing early morning math!)
