John McCain has said and done so many ridiculous things in the last week that I honestly can't keep track of them all.

Don't you find it interesting that when a genuine Al Qaeda hard man who was in US custody was identified, they let him go? It's funny how people who were close to bin Laden seemed to be the people who were the least interesting to our leaders and their minions. Or maybe it's not all that surprising considering that the people who are closest to them are actually in the Republican leadership and the White House.

Joseph Stiglitz says just say no to free lunches for Fannie and Freddie's management, shareholders and bondholders.

Fox news asks some interesting poll questions.

J Street has just released a poll showing that most American Jews do not support insane Likudnik/Lieberman/Bush policies for Israel. (And Lieberman apparently supports terrorists.)

Are we about to see the death of the free internet? (via)

Cursor: "But Salon reports that 'a movement is stirring in Washington for a sweeping new inquiry into White House malfeasance,' modeled after the Church Committee, in an article that 'provides names and dates that seem to corroborate the earlier Radar story on Main Core.' Plus: 'The exaggeration of terror.'"

Is John McCain trying to lose? Also: Fox: It's Eductaoinal!
