*The anthrax attacks in the autumn of 2001 killed 5 people and helped whip up a frenzy of support for the so-called Patriot Act. We were led to believe foreign terrorists had unleashed the attacks. Now we find the anthrax originated from a U.S. government lab. Glenn Greenwald has been ALL over this, and you should read his superb pieces on the subject. BTW, it's his opinion that the poor dead schmuck that's been blamed for all this might not have done it by himself--or even at all.
Who did this? And why were two Democratic senators targeted? Why has this act of RIGHT WING TERRORISM been ignored?
*Ron Suskind has uncovered solid evidence that the Bush Administration FABRICATED EVIDENCE to gain support for the catastrophic Iraq War. Want to bet whether anyone in the corporate media will make a big deal out of this?
*John McCain continues to lie with impunity in every phase of his campaign. He has lied about every single one of Obama's positions, and hired the same group of Karl Rove trained sewer rats and vote suppression experts Bush used in 2004 and 2000 to STEAL THOSE ELECTIONS. McCain is a dishonorable man running a dishonorable campaign. If we elect this reckless, irresponsible clown to office, we deserve to go down the drain as a nation.
*By the way, McCain has virtually no legislative accomplishments of any kind to show for his almost 22 years in the Senate. The McCain-Feingold campaign finance law is universally reviled by right wingers. Other than that, nothing of any significance. However, it should be noted that even knowing that there were no WMDs in Iraq he would still vote to do the whole g-d damned thing all over again. It should also be noted that McCain has more lobbyists and right-wing fruitcakes working for him than almost anyone else ever has.
*Someone will have to explain to me how a guy who was raised by a single mother, earned scholarships by his excellent academic work to go to good schools, made his money by his own writing and owns one house is an "elitist" while another person who was born into a powerful and influential family, got into Annapolis as a legacy, was almost kicked out (and would have been if he had been anyone else's kid), finished fifth from the bottom, married a wealthy young heiress after callously dumping his first wife, is worth $100,000,000, has eight different homes, and wears $500 shoes is a "regular guy".
*If you're a Democrat, Independent, or fed-up Republican and you haven't contributed to Obama, now is the time. Hit it right here, baby!
