Cindy McCain on ABC Today: Palin Has National Security Experience Because Alaska Is Close To Russia

Is it just me or does Cindy McCain look like she stepped out of the V miniseries of the 1980's. She's a lizard woman, I tell you.

Graham: I Dread The Day Obama Becomes President


Lindsey Graham -- Sounds like a character in a lifetime movie of the week. You'd think he'd like an Obama Presidency because he'd no longer have to hide who he is.

Graham: I Dread The Day Obama Becomes President


You'd think that, given Lindsey Graham's personal leanings, he'd want a liberal in the White House so he could live the life he was truly meant to lead. Trying to defend Lil' Miss Sunshine is amusing. Attacking Obama on Iraq is like Great White telling a band their pyrotechnics suck.

Joe Biden Democratic Convention Speech (VIDEO)


Biden's speech last night made me want to vote for HIM. The 1 2 punch of him and Clinton were the juice the convention needed. He was impressive in many ways and a good choice for running mate.

Obama's Columns At Invesco Stir GOP


The sad thing is that the Democrats have several years of TRUTH to attack the GOP with and they seem unwilling to commit to doing it. The GOP does petty things like this because it has worked. Time for the Democratic party to start using the TRUTH against the GOP

That's Why They Call Him 'The Comeback Kid'


Bill's speech was everything that Hillary's was not. It laid out why Obama was the better choice because of who Obama was, not because of who McCain was. I thought it also showed why many Bill supporters have issues with Hillary. Hillary seems to be more into winning for herself than winning for the party.

Mattie Jones -- Justice Resource Center -- Stick a fork in them, they're done

Watching the protests and conferences organized by the Justice Resource center, you notice one thing. These people are old. Older than dirt. So old that they tell John McCain to get off their lawn.

As Mattie Jones appears to be on her way out from the JRC, perhaps it is time to just scrap the whole thing. The constant bitching and moaning, as well as infighting from the group indicates that whatever usefulness they once had is done.

You guys are old. The world has passed you by. As you jockey for position like kids in a treehouse club, nobody younger than 55 cares. While I understand the dislike of Christopher 2X, I think he represents what the new breed of civil rights leaders needs to be. Less confrontational, more action oriented, and more focused on bringing everyone together. The JRC fought the good fight, but now it is time to move on and pass the bullhorn to someone who doesn't get a discount to Denny's.

Zap Cars -- Are we being taken for a ride?

Buried within a WAVE 3 story was a mention of a Wired article on Zap Cars that paints an unflattering picture of the car and its capabilities, as well as the integrity of the company.

It also had the CEO apparently lying about Wired retracting that article, and comparing statements the company has made about the car to the EPA's fuel economy estimates, which he said were made based on "optimum conditions."

Maybe someone should tell the CEO that the EPA now bases its estimates on real world conditions, and the numbers on the window are far closer to reality than ever before. Additionally, this is an apples to oranges comparison. The fuel economy statements don't say on them, "Warning, this car will no longer hit 55 MPH if you're going up a hill 10 minutes into your charge."

I have to wonder if this company isn't simply searching for a good deal from a state that it can swindle out of incentives. I think we need to work on attracting real businesses with a strong business model.
