Bob Cesca calls it Scarborough's Law, and it has been faithfully been implemented by the media throughout this campaign: When the Republicans attack, repeat the attack over and over. When the Democrats attack, attack the Democrats. For lack of a better term, let's call it Scarborough's Law, in honor of…
Dennis Kucinich gives a six-minute summary of the disaster that has been occurring over the past eight years. According to Kucinich, what the neocons want to do is to drill into our wallets some more. I concur entirely. We truly need to wake up. We excel at being complacent (and…
Why should we ask John McCain harsh questions? Because we need to even the playing field. You see, if Barack Obama had McCain’s background, ignorance and bad character, the election would have been over months ago. The news media is holding back, though. Those media barbecues appear to be paying off.

If you have additional questions that the media needs to ask John McCain, please submit them in the comments. I’d like to make this post a place where reporters are free to visit for ideas.

Why is your smile so creepy and fake?
Do you really believe that the President of the U.S. virtually functions as a dictator?
General Character Deficits…

John McCain is… 1.) Ignorant on the economy. And see here. 2.) Ignorant on foreign policy. And see here. 3.) Ignorant on birth control. 4.) Ignorant of the truth. And see here and here. 5.) Ignorant of what’s important to veterans and votes against veterans. 6.) Ignorant of the laws…
