These latest McCain commercials are somewhat confusing. In one way, they're smart, and in another way, not so much. I don't know about you, but I have...
The impetus for the absurd McCain ad was Obama's riotous European welcome. There is a certain irony in that as this summer marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Notting Hill Riots.
In watching "Celeb" about 25 times over, the thought never once struck us that Obama was being defamed with the insinuation that he likes to dabble in "young white women." What made us even go there?
I have a confession to make. I actually watch the network news. Maybe I should enter into a twelve-step program or something. But I don't watch the ...
For Obama to select a woman as vice president would further antagonize Hilllary backers, and would weirdly seem to say that there is only one woman with the credentials to be Obama's number two.

You won't learn anything fro this press call on how McCain will help break our addiction to fossil fuels, but you'll learn why Britney Spears has moved to the center of presidential campaign politics.
Can anyone stop the madness? As depicted on the award-winning AMC show, people in the advertising industry in the 1960s are utterly despicable. So is McCain's ad team.
How disgustingly coincidental is it that the good girl icon got blown sky high by sex, drugs, and anorexia at the same time that the economy has gone bust?
The New York Post hit a new low on Tuesday when they deemed Britney Spears having a cigarette in the company of her son worthy of front page news.
Photographers who stalk celebrities to give us the latest image of Britney Spears' cellulite are just voyeurs with a telephoto lens, not First Amendment heroes. Nonetheless, anti-paparazzi laws are a bad idea.
