How nice. This certainly is humorous, to someone. Not a fan of McBush but can you imagine the post that would appear in this very web log if this sort of "humor" were about HRC or Obama? Maybe we could find something a little less sophisticated to talk about.

WASHINGTON -- The Food and Drug Administration is withholding a list of Chinese heparin suppliers requested by congressional investigators looking into problems with tainted supplies of the blood thinner, saying confidentiality agreements prevent release of the companies' names.
...
We American citizens aren't allowed to purchase pharmaceuticals produced in other nations because other nations don't assure the purity of the pharmaceuticals like "our" FDA does .. right?
But not only are the pharmaceutical companies who sell in the USA allowed to import over 80% of their ingredients from other nations, they are also protected from revealing their sources.

cheap almost working imported generic meds for $35 on copays sounds like a bargain to me.
This type of stuff should be done EVERY DAY. The more McCain is portrayed as a hopeless joke and relic of days gone by, the more people will question his viability. Control the narrative. Replace the maverick image with something closer to the truth, that he's a crazy, half-senile old coot.

In thinking of the remote chance that McInsane ends up in the White House I close my eyes and see him wandering through the tunnels (like we saw in Murder at 1600) and making his way back to the Capitol and emerging into the Senate chamber, ranting and raving to himself that being Commander in Chief trumps two admirals.

I agree that this list is just silly, but age wouldn't even be an issue if McCain's politics weren't so compromised. If Hugh Hefner was running, I'd vote for him, because he has a family history of longevity and even though he lives in a mansion, his head is on straight about progressive, social issues.

No dilemma if you care about Supreme Court judges and federal judgeships. No dilemma if you can about the ever-increasing income inequality in the country. No dilemma if you care about how the country is perceived abroad. No dilemma if you care about actually asking for sacrifices from those that can afford to do it...sacrifices for the common good. No dilemma if you don't want to see federal agencies continue to be led by incompetents and RNC hacks. I don't have any dilemma. Of course, I'm a Democrat.

Does anybody get a chuckle from imagining the future of the United States in a post-apocalyptic context (considering everything barreling it, it's more likely than we like to think) like me? Personally, I'm imagining a Canticles for Leibowitz scenario where the Mormons and Catholics have become the dominant groups following the fall of the United States government and its replacement with various groups like the fall of the USSR in 1991. It's kinda funny in that if everything bad happens as bad as it could, we're looking at a fall of industrial civilization, and nobody cares.
But still, the imagination of the Mormon Prophethood of Deseret vs. the Papal States of America makes for a good fantasy...
You do have a point. With us it always has to be something for something. When was the last time we just gave and didn't expect something in return.
The Balkans and Somalia immediately spring to mind.
we're still in somalia. we just blew up some innocent family last week. Is that what you are referring to?
No I'm thinking of the work that was does to make sure relief supplies reached the people of Somalia and Ethiopia during their last massive famines. It's funny how people remember Blackhawk Down but not why the troops were there. It was to make sure the relief supplies weren't hijacked by warlords. As for for stopping the genocide in the late unlamented Yugoslavia I think ending genocide is actually a nice thing to do.
In a new blow to the Bush administration’s troubled military commission system, a military judge has disqualified a Pentagon general who has been centrally involved in overseeing Guantánamo war crimes tribunals from any role in the first case headed for trial.
The judge said the general was too closely aligned with the prosecution, raising questions about whether he could carry out his role with the required neutrality and objectivity.
Military defense lawyers said that although the ruling was limited to one case, they expected the issue to be raised in other cases, potentially delaying prosecutions, including the death-penalty prosecution of six detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, for the Sept. 11 attacks.
Critics of the military commission system said Friday that the judge’s decision would provide new grounds to attack the system that they say was set up to win convictions.
The judge, Capt. Keith J. Allred of the Navy, directed that Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Hartmann of the Air Force Reserve, a senior Pentagon official of the Office of Military Commissions, which runs the war crimes system, have no further role in the first prosecution, scheduled for trial this month.
General Hartmann, whose title is legal adviser, has been at the center of a bitter dispute involving the former chief Guantánamo military prosecutor, Col. Morris D. Davis of the Air Force.
Colonel Davis has said the general interfered in the work of the military prosecution office, pushed for closed-door proceedings and pressed to rely on evidence obtained through techniques that critics call torture.

As horrible as that situation was I think the U.S deserves credit for at least trying to help the U.N humanitarian effort and I don't care who was president. The point I've been trying to make is that America gets and deserves credit for trying and often succeeding in helping around the world. Sometimes with government backing and often with simple massive generosity.The Iraq fiasco is purely the responsibility of the latest Bush. The question was: when have we done something and not expected something in return? The answer is lots of times.

I concur. The Democratic party has always been better at these things and foreign policy in general.
Thank you Peter, for your civility for one. I would like to add that, when we came to the aid of other nations, alot of the time we were backing a regime or govt that had a favorable view of the US.
Which didn't always work out so well, and now we're suffering the consequences of those actions.
Thank you Peter.

Doing universal justice. That’s the plan."

Judge Drops General From Trial of Detainee

'Maverick' McCain a Mere Myth, His Hometown Newspaper Reports: '"He is a conservative who votes conservative on most issues," said Keith Poole, a political scientist at the University of California-San Diego. "By no means is he a liberal or even a moderate."' 5/10

Ding Ding Ding!!! That's right folks Don't touch that dial!
um yep, that would old Bubba. Somalia was started by GHWB, just in time for him to get out before it blew up in his face. So Bubba got the blame for that one.
In a taped sermon, the preacher McCain calls a "spiritual guide" calls on America to see the "false religion" of Islam "destroyed." Still, the candidate won't reject Rod Parsley's endorsement. 5/9
be old bubba.
ughhh!

Have you noticed that after a change in Preznits, there has been attacks?
how bout.. "He's Bush's Crazy Uncle".
mudshark @ 65:
As horrible as that situation was I think the U.S deserves credit for at least trying to help the U.N humanitarian effort and I don't care who was president. The point I've been trying to make is that America gets and deserves credit for trying and often succeeding in helping around the world. Sometimes with government backing and often with simple massive generosity.The Iraq fiasco is purely the responsibility of the latest Bush. The question was: when have we done something and not expected something in return? The answer is lots of times.

pretty regularly. some named Al CIAda is said to be wandering around that country using the people as human shields.

Don't get me wrong Peter, I too believe this nation has helped many nations in the past.But who's kidding who here. Everytime we have helped someone, there has always been a price. Even if it's nothing more than suspending our bill at the UN.
But I do think you are correct that the Democratic Party does have a better record for helping other nations in need.
'John McCain’s speech on federal judges was essentially a pledge of continued support for the Bush administration’s strategy to shift the federal judiciary further to the right through judges who share a particular legal and judicial ideology. The impact of that that ideology is already playing out in the federal courts in ways that undermine legal and constitutional protections for Americans, and limit individuals’ ability to seek access to justice through the federal courts.' 5/9
mudshark @ 73:
I concur. The Democratic party has always been better at these things and foreign policy in general.
Thank you Peter, for your civility for one. I would like to add that, when we came to the aid of other nations, alot of the time we were backing a regime or govt that had a favorable view of the US.
Which didn't always work out so well, and now we're suffering the consequences of those actions.
Thank you Peter.
see ya soon.

I agree...this country tosses their aging people aside and mocks them. It's all about our collective fears of getting old...also manifested in every product sent your way trying to make you look younger.
Please, no more of the "mccain is old" stuff. it's sophomoric.

Yeah, it does seem remarkably convenient, but then, the United States has historically required something to be a Manichean opposite from, even if it must invent it.
I'm McSame, so whatever it is, I am for it. Do you have your checkbook handy?

He wants to carry on Bush's 'Operation Endless War'
He's as old as Roberta Sparrow.

To mccain the only difference between a Sunni and a Shia is its spelling.

"Washington Fantasies of Triumph and Aftermath"
Here's the last paragraph, as a teaser:
"The Air Force has its own special role. It becomes, for Central Asia, South America and Africa, as well as the turbulent Middle East, what Israel’s air force is to the Palestinians. The U.S., purportedly omnipotent and invulnerable, would survey the world from stratosphere and space, monitoring and intercepting global communications to identify real and potential enemies, destroying them with real-time video-guided unmanned space and air vehicles, striking their homes, their cars, their hiding places wherever they might be. Doing universal justice. That’s the plan."
