"Campaign of lies disgraces McCain"
This nation is facing real challenges on the economy, health care, jobs and the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are significant differences between how Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain would address them. But McCain's recent campaign ads suggest the most vital issues are whether Obama wanted to teach sex education to kindergarten children and whether he derided the Republican's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, by talking about lipstick on a pig.
McCain's straight talk has become a toxic mix of lies and double-speak. It is leaving a permanent stain on his reputation for integrity, and it is a short-term strategy that eventually will backfire with the very types of independent-thinking voters that were so attracted to him.

Honolulu police to start enforcing law against living in parks
Starting tomorrow, Honolulu police will begin enforcing a revised city law that outlaws camping at most parks islandwide, including Kapi'olani Park in Waikiki, where dozens of tent dwellers have been congregating on the 200-acre green at the threshold of Hawai'i's world-famous tourist destination.
Why didn't they do this decades ago?
This Is How You Stick It To Lying Republican Hacks
My friend Ari Melber shows how to deal with GOP liars: you call them out on their bull. Watch as he makes Brad Blakeman wilt before your eyes:
How many times have you in the past smacked you head when listening to a "False Equivilence" and wished something like this would happen? Second, the news reports who moderated this failed to note that John McCain's campaign violated a pledge not to air any negative TV ads on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Wingnut Essence.
And Sarah Palin is the distilled essence of wingnut. She has it all. She is dishonest. She is a religious nut. She is incurious. She is anti-science. She is inexperienced. She abuses her authority. She hides behind executive privilege. She is a big spender. She works from the gut and places a greater value on instinct than knowledge.
And most dangerous of all, she is supremely self-confident to the point of not recognizing how ill-equipped she is to lead the country. She's George Bush in a dress.

"You have No... Fucking... Idea, do you?". Part Three
It is embarrassing to have to spell this out, but for the record let me explain why Gov. Palin's answer to the "Bush Doctrine" question implies a disqualifying lack of preparation for the job.
"You have No... Fucking... Idea, do you?". Part Two
The truly toxic combination of traits GW Bush brought to decision making was:
1) Ignorance
2) Lack of curiosity
3) "Decisiveness"
That is, he was not broadly informed to begin with (point 1). He did not seek out new information (#2); but he nonetheless prided himself (#3) on making broad, bold decisions quickly, and then sticking to them to show resoluteness.
We don't know for sure about #2 for Palin yet -- she could be a sponge-like absorber of information. But we know about #1 and we can guess, from her demeanor about #3. Most of all we know something about the person who put her in this untenable role.
