McCain Campaign Whines that NYT Paid Heed to Their Letter
John Dowd bullied the NYT into downplaying Cindy's drug addiction for their front-page profile today. But the McCain campaign is still furious at the NYT for telling Cindy's story.

Another 16 Words: Boumediene Bites Bush Again
Laura Rozen rocks, and today she rolls up more jaw dropping malevolence and fraud on the part of the Bush/Cheney Administration. A potentially explosive new court filing by the lawyers for Lakhdar Boumediene and five other Guantanamo detainees suggests that the Bush administration ordered the Bosnian government to arrest and hold the men after an exhaustive Bosnian investigation had found them innocent of any terrorism related activity and had ordered their release, in order to use them as props in Bush's January 2002 State of the Union speech.
Obama Counsel to Mukasey: Sic Your Special Prosecutor on the Republicans

SCOTUS Sides with Secretary of State Brunner
It appears that SCOTUS has ruled with Ohio's Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (and overturned one of the politicized 6th Circuit Court's decisions) that she should not have to alert county officials to newly registered voters whose records don't exactly match state records.

Two Years to Indict Tan Nguyen
Remember Tan Nguyen? He's the asshole who, in his race against Loretta Sanchez in 2006, sent out fliers in Spanish to recently registered voters warning that immigrants could be imprisoned if they voted.
He was indicted on October 1 on one charge of obstruction. Two years after he tried to dissuade Latinos from voting.
Now, I'm thrilled he's been indicted.

Debate Prediction: Schieffer Raises Ayers
Will McCain have to choose his manhood or his honor during tonight's debate? With Bob Schieffer as moderator, I predict he won't have to make that choice.
Todd Wormtongue
Todd Palin reminds me of the character Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings, lurking around and spying for the tyrants in power. And some of it may have been illegal.
Putin Invades Alaska
I thought Sarah Palin promised she'd prevent Vladimir Putin from invading the US. But while she's been distracted with her VP bid, the Russians went and invaded Alaska.
Who Signed the Explicit Authorization to Torture?
Joby Warrick reports about two memos that explicitly authorized the CIA to torture. What he doesn't reveal is who signed those memos. Did George Bush sign a memo authorizing torture?
