A good piece on Common Dreams that explains how, in black and white, the McCain/Palin ticket has nothing common with Hillary Clinton.
Hey, it’s her birthday
My two-year-old niece Jocelyn had a birthday on Wednesday. Today, we’re celebrating. Pictured are Joey, Aunt Annie, Joss and Dan blowing out the Dora candle.

Drizzle and pour
The lines of rainwater, beads
stretching into strands, the rivulets
running downwards, converging
and diverging like Port Authority
crowds at afternoon rush hour

Spin those discs
I thought I’d share this photo of me at the sound board, disc-jockeying for WEHR — East Halls Radio at Penn State — taken sometime between 1980 and 1982. I was probably spinning some New York punk (one of my regular programs was called “Live from CBGBs”) or blues, which was one of my passions back then.
It was a fun gig that I reprised during my year at Middlesex County College (1985-1986). I kind of miss the radio thing.
McCain’s obscured ‘View’
Pam Spaulding of Pam’s House Blend alerted me to this bit of nuttiness, noted on The Huffington Post:
The ladies of “The View” confronted John McCain today for lying in recent attack ads, pressed him on abortion and questioned his choice of Sarah Palin.
In arguably his toughest interview yet, co-host Joy Behar asked McCain, “There are ads running from your campaign… Now we know that those two ads are untrue, they are lies. And yet, you at the end of it say you approve these messages. Do you really approve these?”
And the serious media — and latenight comedians — make fun of this show (That includes me, to be honest)? I’m hoping that Charles Gibson, Brian Williams and the rest were watching and take note.
Bravo to the hosts.
