McCain's Adultery
Why doesn't the mainstream media cover THIS side? "Liberal media"? I think not.
McCain adultery story rocks political world — oh wait, no it doesn’t
McCain's broken marriage and fractured Reagan friendship
The wife U.S. Republican John McCain callously left behind
You'd think a conservative base would be up in arms about this, but I suppose they are willing to be complacent in the face of having someone other than another old rich white man.

Synecdochically
Today's word is synecdochically:
Main Entry:
syn·ec·do·che Listen to the pronunciation of synecdoche
Pronunciation:
\sə-ˈnek-də-(ˌ)kē\
: a figure of speech by which a part is put for the whole (as fifty sail for fifty ships), the whole for a part (as society for high society), the species for the genus (as cutthroat for assassin), the genus for the species (as a creature for a man), or the name of the material for the thing made (as boards for stage)
Thanks to a great TED talk by Erin McKean, who is now in my list of the top 5 hottest nerds.

Fannie and Freddie need to die
Jim Rogers says it like it is: the US has doubled its national debt in one weekend to bail out two companies run by fraudsters. Here's what the Motley Fool has to say.

Teh Economy
Here is a great (if long) overview of what has happened to our economy and what we can expect in the coming years.
Obama
After reading an interview with Obama about his ideas on foreign policy and reading his response on why he voted for the FISA changes, I think I will feel good voting for him in November.

FISA
Did you know that Congress has signed away any possible right to privacy we had?
By making the new FISA law, the President and Congress have made it legal for US agencies to spy on our text messages, email, and phone calls to people outside the US, without any cause, reason or warrant. This is so completely Orwellian and dystopian I can't even wrap my mind around how anyone thought this was a good idea.
Help the ACLU overturn FISA by sharing your message of support now.
