Think for a moment how McCain is depicted in the media you watch on TV. He's called a "maverick" by those on the right, and a "flip-flopper" by those on the left. He's either praised or criticized for his policy positions and initiative ideas that seem to contain lots of voter-pandering, and very little practical detail. He's deemed either out of touch, or refreshingly "outside the beltway", despite his years spent inside that fabled doughnut road.
What you almost never hear is "hot-tempered", or "dangerously impulsive", or "easily influenced by money". Why is that? These types of personal traits - more-so than any policy position - are vitally relevant with regards to the person we choose to be in charge of a mighty military force and thousands of nuclear warheads.
McCain's temper was more openly reported back in the 2000 race when the Washington Post reported this:
There's even a web-site dedicated to discussing his temper.
One post there discusses whether McCain suffers from PTSD. Is that something we want to have to worry about? The meme the Republicans would like to maintain is that McCain's military service makes him more prepared to be president. Yet we hear so much about how the experience of war leaves so many people psychologically damaged. McCain still calls the Vietnam people "gooks". If it's fair to say that his war service prepared him to be president, it's just as fair to say it left him too damaged to be president.
In the military, he was known as a hot-dogger. That seems like it could be a good thing, right? But in the military, being a "maverick" can get you and others killed. Here's video of the incident on the flight deck of the Forrestal where McCain's "wet starting" his jet resulted in a missile firing which created a deadly fire that killed scores of people (the video quality is very poor):
After the fire was finally extinguished, McCain was the first one off that aircraft carrier and he was immediately transferred. He was not, however, punished for his actions. His father the Admiral saw to that.
The one story that seems to be getting some play is the excessive donations he received from oil company employees right around the same time he changed his position on offshore drilling. So now he too is beholden to oil companies.
Hmmm... incompetence, impulsiveness, selling one's soul for oil money, influential father saving his ass. This truly could be Bush all over again. Despite McCain's attempts to distance himself from Bush, he keeps following the same patterns, and using the same language. He recently said we need to "surge the economy" (whatever the hell THAT means). He apparently also thinks it would be a good idea to arbitrarily invoke martial law and "surge" crime-ridden American cities:
Is this really the kind of guy that's fit to be president?... an impulsive wild west sheriff prone to fits of temper and impulsive actions? Is this the guy we want to preside over The Button? The beautiful SHINY button. The jolly CANDY-like button. WILL he hold out folks? CAN he hold out?
I think not.
(Bonus click: YouTube with some other footage about the Forrestal incident. It's a little scattered and tinfoily...)

McCain's temper was more openly reported back in the 2000 race when the Washington Post reported this:
While rising in the GOP presidential polls, Sen. John McCain is facing questions about what some Arizona political leaders view as his quick temper – and whether it might hinder him as president.
In a front page article and separate editorial Sunday, The Arizona Republic said it wanted the nation to know about the "volcanic" temper McCain has unleashed on several top state officials.
Those who have been on the receiving end of a McCain uproar include Republican Gov. Jane Hull, former Republican Gov. Rose Mofford and former Democratic Mayor Paul Johnson of Phoenix.
Mrs. Hull, a supporter of GOP presidential front-runner George W. Bush, has acknowledged that her relationship with McCain has been cool and told an interviewer recently McCain "has to keep control" of his temper....
.... Mrs. Hull told the Times that McCain's temper "is something that John has to keep control of." According to the Times, when Mrs. Hull was asked to describe McCain's temper she pretended to hold a telephone receiver several inches from her ear.
There's even a web-site dedicated to discussing his temper.

He apparently also thinks it would be a good idea to arbitrarily invoke martial law and "surge" crime-ridden American cities:
When an audience member asked him how he planned to reduce urban crime, McCain praised Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s efforts in New York City before invoking the military’s tactics in Iraq as the model for crime-fighting:
MCCAIN: And some of those tactics — you mention the war in Iraq — are like that we use in the military. You go into neighborhoods, you clamp down, you provide a secure environment for the people that live there, and you make sure that the known criminals are kept under control. And you provide them with a stable environment and then they cooperate with law enforcement, etc, etc.
Is this really the kind of guy that's fit to be president?... an impulsive wild west sheriff prone to fits of temper and impulsive actions? Is this the guy we want to preside over The Button? The beautiful SHINY button. The jolly CANDY-like button. WILL he hold out folks? CAN he hold out?

Well said, BobR.
I should add, there are several of his Republican Senate colleagues who have expressly said they find the idea of McCain with the nuclear football distressing in the extreme.
This guy scares me, and the fact that his mental state seems to be deteriorating does little to assuage my fears.

Keith Olbermann last night confirmed something I've long believed, and it rather annoys me. (I said this already, but I'm moving it to today's blog)
Salim Hamdan, after having had the court deck stacked against him six ways from Sunday and STILL only having been convicted of being driver to Osama bin Laden and sentenced to five and a half years with credit for time served, still looks to be in American prison for life.
The Administration claims it has no responsibility to release him when his sentence is up, because he's still an "enemy combatant". And because the war on terror is not a traditional war, it's not one we'll ever win (like the war on drugs, it may go well or poorly, but there will always be more terror to go after), there will never be a time when the claim that "he's a prisoner of war, and they aren't released until the war is over" can no longer be claimed.
Just one more urination on the Constitution by the Bush Administration.

BobR, can I have your permission to post (with attribution) this particular essay on my personal blog?
It says it perhaps better than I have, and I'd love to put it out there... I could link to it, but I find people are more likely to read things if they're right there than if they have to link through to another blog.

Morning, comrades! 08/08/08! (China won't take that away from me!)
Regarding PTSD....I believe the good Dr. Maddow said it best quite some time ago...."The Iraq war won't truly be over until the last tortured vet dies in his sleep 70 years from now." Extrapolate that back to Gulf I, Vietnam, Korea, WWII.....
My dear uncle Ray, last surviving family member with WWII service, did not even serve in a war zone (mostly) He was on a fast-cargo ship in the Pacific, but was at Leyte Gulf and the Philippines. When we went to pick up Javier, he was telling us that he was there, and he got a faraway look and said "some of the things I saw...."
McCain still calling the Vietnamese "gooks" all these years later tells me he can't reconcile his past and move forward. The best of the WWII vets were able to put individual hatreds aside and move on.
Regarding the Forrestal....I'll have to check the second link a bit later. But there's plenty more information about it here.

McCain was a pilot; I'm always fighting over the semantics.
He flew an A4 Skyhawk which was a ground-attack and light bomber aircraft. (As Bob said a ways back, "so he dropped napalm on children and villages?)
He was NOT a fighter pilot, and it really irritates me that the media calls him one.

Great post BobR.
We keep waiting for this stuff to be latched onto by the M$M to the extent they held on like pirahna to Rev. Wright and Obama's perceived "flip-flops". I won't hold my breath though.
If we see McCain lose his temper during the debates (if there are any), the spin will be that Obama is a mean, uppity n*****, and he's disrespecting a genuine war hero.

Well, according to the (reliable?) Wiki, the fire on the Forrestal was started by an electrical problem, they think, that fired a missile.
Hmmmm, I suppose we'll never really know if there was a coverup. It'd be nice to talk with someone who was on it.

Heya Kids,
I don't know if anybody is interested, but yesterday the Government (read DC District Court) ruled on the Cobell v. Kempthorne Litigation (the Indian Trust Fund Case). The paltry sum that the Judge offered was $455,600,000.00. I know that the amount Eloise Cobell was expecting or at least asking for was in the billions of dollars for mismanaging the Individual Indian Money Accounts for over 120 years. If you'd like to read more about it see this link: Cobell Litigation Ruling or statement by Lead Plantiff. Once again the federales screw the Natives of this land :(

Ah, I'm deep into my 'longhair' stuff today. Which is actually helpful, I've been wrestling with a couple of duets for the past two weeks....all modulating key signatures and dotted eighth notes (a rhythm I struggle with). I gotta play me some jazz...at least I can get away with cowbell.

Fred Phelps and his Westboro Church stopped at the border....
:huh:
Residents rallied Thursday to protect the family of a young man murdered on a Greyhound bus last week from a posse of radical religious protesters planning to portray Tim McLean's death as God's wrath.
Earlier this week, the Westboro Baptist Church - an organization branded as a hate group and infamous for protesting the funerals of slain U.S. soldiers - announced they would picket Mr. McLean's funeral to let Canadians know that his decapitation was God's response to Canadian policies enabling abortion, homosexuality and adultery.
[...]
"They won't let us in, but we have a group that will cross in another spot," she said. "They'll have to strip search everyone who crosses that border or they won't know who we are. They'll have to see the WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) tattoo on our butts."

Not likely to find a plaque though... the airport is replacing all the stalls with floor to ceiling walls and doors to make it harder to "cruise".
Of course - that will make it harder to see naughtiness going on when a hookup DOES occur...

But who actually wants to see any of these Republicans getting their freak on? It's not like there are any porn stars in that group or anyone remotely hot.

MY EX-GIRLFRIEND FOUND MY LUCKY RED SOX HAT THAT I THOUGHT I HAD LOST!!!!!!
And, just in time for the Post Season campaign.
And, she didn't throw it away. She gave it to a mutual friend to give back to me.
She does have a soul.

I love living in New England as a Mets fan. I still get mileage out of Bill Buckner. Granted, not as much as before they'd managed to finally win the big one, but still.
And I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the year that BOTH the Sox and the Cubs were in the playoffs, BOTH were leading, and BOTH managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Mwahahahaha. :-)

I was so sad. I thought I had left it somewhere from which it would never return.
On Saturday I will get it back and can proceed to watch every Playoff game , donning my lucky hat and my Varitek shirt, wrapped in my Red Sox Blanket.
And, just for the record, I NEVER do a Rally Cap!

I'm tryin' to, Raine. I'll probably be taking another shot of codeine cough meds in a sec. BTW, while at the doc's yesterday, I had to have a steroid shot to reduce the inflamation in my throat and lungs. It didn't hurt when I got the shot, but it did start about ten minutes later. It made me a bit aggressive, though; I can understand how that stuff can cause "roid rage" with too much use.

From MSNBC:
But the ad makes some dubious claims:
1) When it says that Obama voted "to raise taxes on people making just $42,000," that was on a non-binding budget resolution vote that didn't actually raise or lower taxes. From Factcheck.org: "The resolution does not contain a specific provision to raise tax rates, but rather assumes that most of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts expire as scheduled in 2011."
2) According to Obama's economic plan, he would raise taxes only on those making more than $250,000 per year, and would provide tax cuts to those making less than that. Factcheck.org: "Obama has stated repeatedly that his plan would increase taxes only for those making more than $250,000 per year."
*** UPDATE *** NBC's Domenico Montanaro adds that, according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center's analysis of both candidates' plans, by 2009, under Obama's plan, those making $37,595 would see an average increase in their income of 3.6%, or a tax cut of $892; those making an average of $66,354, would see an increase in their income of 2.4%, or a tax cut of $1,042.
On the other hand, Under McCain's plan, those making $37,595, would see an increase in their income of only about 0.5%, or $113 tax cut; those making $66,354, would see only an increase of 0.7% in their income, or a tax break of $319.
================================================
DUBIOUS? I would say the ad is filled with out and out lies.

Fox or not, this is alarming news.
BREAKING NEWS:Russia will cut all air communications with Georgia from midnight on Friday, a spokeswoman for the Russian Transport Ministry told Reuters
Developing Story, will be updated; read previous story below:
Parts of Russia's 58th Army — including 150 tanks and armored vehicles — reportedly were moving Friday on the capital of South Ossetia after Georgian troops entered the city in an attempt to crush separatist forces seeking to control the breakaway province.
Kakha Lamaia, a member of Georgia's National Security Council, told Reuters the two countries are "very close" to war, if not already at war.
"If it's not war, then we are very close to it," Lamaia said. "The Russians have invaded Georgia and we are under attack."

This is Alarming as well:
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili stated that Russia started war with Georgia.
"It's in the interests of the United States to extend a helping hand to Georgia. Russia is fighting a war with us in our own territory," Saakashvili said in an interview with CNN.
"Georgia will withdraw its unit from Iraq to give a proper response to Russian aggression," he said, RBC reports.
For his part, Georgia's National Security Council head Alexander Lomaia warned Friday that Moscow and Tbilisi will be in "a state of war" if reports of Russian tanks, military trucks and troops entering South Ossetia prove true.

Obama is the Antichrist?
McCain keeps sinking lower and lower.
You know, when a ship sinks, unless it is catastrophically damaged, it will flood slowly and sink lower and lower until it reaches the point where it is no longer buoyant. At that point the ship suddenly plunges to the bottom, an event called "downflooding".
We're just waiting for that moment here in the McCain campaign...

A dear friend at work (my 'office wife', as a matter-of-fact) is originally from Pennsylvania, and is as straight-laced and conservative as they come. Anyway, we were talking politics today, as we often do, and she told me she's looking forward to having the first African-American President...."it's about damn time.". She went on to say, I'm glad we don't vote on the candidates' wives...I hate Cindy.
So, another blue voter!

Political Suicide. He committed suicide.

:( what the F, man. What the hell was he thinking?

Can i point out that he's a man in power? and no man in power is ever clean when it comes to sex. I don't care. I'm sure both Bushes had tail on the side, we know Clinton did. I'm sure as hell Obama if he hasn't cheated at least once, he will in the next eight years.
Edwards had sex with another woman. Big fuckin deal. Who cares. Now he has to deal with the wrath of his wife (if this wasn't some sort of thing they agreed on. I hear that happens now) and scorn of his children.
I like Edwards, and him cheating doesn't change my opinion a bit of him. I'd be suprised if he was clean.

To an extent I agree with you. Cheating is a private matter between the spouses.
But, the fact that Elizabeth has Cancer, makes it really icky.
I was kind of hoping she'd come out and say "Because of my illness, I gave John my blessing to go have his 'needs met.'" Wink. Wink.
Buuuut...

Interesting tidbit about this woman...
On the deleted pages, the 44-year-old Hunter (formerly known as Lisa Druck) discusses her former hard partying days, her search for enlightenment, and her issues with drugs and debt. There is a 2005 interview she did with one-time boyfriend Jay McInerney, in which the celebrated novelist reveals that Hunter was the basis for Alison Poole, the main character of his book, Story of My Life.

Something however really smells about this story. Sam Stein Blogged about this last october:
A set of short documentary film "webisodes" made for former Sen. John Edwards prior to his presidential candidacy continues to weave a curious web, this time involving the filmmaker.
The videos, which cost Edwards' One America Committee $114,461, were produced in 2006 by an aspiring actress/producer named Rielle Hunter, who proposed the idea to the senator in a bar in New York City. The objective was to give viewers - and presumably voters - an authentic look at the North Carolinian. But shortly after Edwards declared his White House aspirations, the footage all but disappeared from public view. After the Huffington Post wrote about the webisodes, the videos resurfaced, both on YouTube and Webcastr.com, although the anonymous individual who reposted them (user name: "MissingVideos") has not responded to emails.

From Wiki.

Jay McInerney has said in interviews that the character of Alison Poole was based on his former girlfriend Rielle Hunter, then named Lisa Druck.
The character of Alison Poole has also been featured in the novels of Bret Easton Ellis, including American Psycho, in which she is sexually assaulted by the protagonist Patrick Bateman, and plays a major role in Glamorama as the girlfriend of protagonist Victor Ward.

Watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, and I saw something that just made my blood boil; as if I needed more of that after today. As the national teams have been walking in, they've gone to occasional shots of the President and First Lady sitting in the Dignitaries Section.
Just now, as the Thai team was walking past, they cut to a shot of Bush slumped down into his seat, clutching the American flag, and tapping the flag against his leg. For being the leader of our nation, and the chief representative of a party that stresses godlike reverence to the flag, he seemed a bit... nonchalant about the one he was holding. Then again, it seems like an appropriate representation of how he's treated this nation over the past 7 1/2 years. Either way, I'm a bit pissed at his lack of respect. I may not support an anti-flag burning amendment, but that just seems a bit rude.
OK, back to the parade and the torch lighting.

Hey, I haven't lived in DC for 12 years now, and the local AM station that we used to get there show on was part of the big purge when they went from being a "free syndication, but we get half the ad time" to a "you get all the air time and pay us to broadcast our show" syndication deal, but...
What happened to Don Geronimo? I listened to Mike this afternoon, I was kind of disappointed, I think he was better as a sidekick. Actually, I was rather surprised to hear that he was generally liberal, I always got the sense that Don & Mike were fairly conservative types.
But what happened to Don?
(By the way, and interesting note, back when I used to listen to the show, there was Don Geronimo, Mike O'Meara, Buzz Burbank and ... I can't recall her name, I keep thinking it was "Kristi", but I might be thinking of "Kristi Lee" from the Bob & Tom show. Anyway, Don Geronimo's real name is Mike Sorce, and Buzz Burbank's real name is Mike... I'm blanking on the last name. But I always used to wonder if Kristi's real name was also Mike, since the rest all were).

I was trapped in my own salt mine with the Little League playoffs which determine which teams go to the Little League world series. This series was a joint production between MSG and NESN.
I am pooped. Now that Mondo is free when will Livin' get liberated?
