Sarah Palin Naked
If you watched the Palin interview and weren't scared out of your mind, then you're mentally ill. What you are not is responsible, informed, thoughtful, mature, educated, empathetic, or remotely serious.

So, I am asking, how many Jews do you think Sarah Palin has met? Literally. Ten? Two? One of the reasons she is so frightening is because her frame of reference appears to be so narrow.
So, you think it looks really good for Barack Obama. Well, maybe so. Yet, Obama can still lose this. Though I'm not planning to head over to Vegas to shoot craps (John McCain's favorite) on that deal.
How do you vote for leaders who ignored climate change, mocked any concern for the loss of habitat and biological diversity, and dismantled the wall separating church and state?
The crowd always has the power - the power to not give the comedian the laugh. If you want people to elect you leader, it's best to avoid putting yourself in a position of having less power.
American evangelicals invaded Russia with missionaries, said the Orthodox aren't "real Christians," and attacked their friends. Now we expect Russia to be logical about these matters and do what is good for business.
The raw anger displayed by McCain is so over the top that he cannot seriously be targeting it at anyone but himself, and perhaps the Republican Party he has grown to hate.
Sunday I talked with Zbigniew Brzezinski, the elder statesman and national security advisor to Jimmy Carter, about the Russian invasion of Georgia. He long tangled with Soviet power. Now he takes on Putin.
Unfortunately, Sarah Palin is not alone in her global ignorance. Our colleges and high schools are not doing what's necessary... the current generation isn't gaining understanding of other cultures.
It seems especially relevant now to highlight McCain's questionable relationship with his embattled campaign manager, Rick Davis, and Davis' controversial clients.
McCain's sanguine view of space is contradicted by a reckless and misguided worldview which would put NASA in peril.
If we agree, as most of us do outside of the far-right abortion-obsessed axis, that Palin is unfit to serve as president, then McCain, the man solely responsible for giving her that opportunity, is unfit too. It's that simple.
John McCain is 72 years old, and despite showcasing his 95 year old mother and his own protestations to the contrary, 72 is, well, 72. Couple that w...
From joking about bombing Iran, to talking about invading Iraq, Iran and Syria weeks after 9/11 to the misguided "we are all Georgians now," the McCain campaign is sending all kinds of horrifying signals to the world about the types of wars it would fight.
I have to at least try to defend the point she was (so badly) trying to make. Alaska was on the front lines of the Cold War. It's a valid point, especially with a newly-resurgent and newly-belligerent Russia.
Of all the great resistance fighters I have met in my life, of all the Massouds and Izetbegovics I have had occasion to defend, Georgia's Saakashvili is the one who is the most unfamiliar with war, its rites, its emblems, its culture - but he is dealing with it.
