Of course you already knew that. But now the media, well, NPR, are getting into the act to try to expose these lies. This morning on Morning Edition, NPR did a story on the origin of some of these outright lies. And yes, they called it right. Here is Steve Inskeep: "So much of the political debate was completely fact free."

Dick Cheney had heart surgery last week at a disclosed location (Fairfax Hospital in Virginia) to have a ventricular assist device implanted. Slowly but surely, he is getting a bionic heart. Kind of like Locutis of Borg.

Not satisfied with disrupting town hall meetings, spitting on Congresspeople, throwing bricks through Democratic political offices and speaking with thinly veiled threats, the New Jersey Tea Party is now trying to recall the democratically elected U.S. Senator, Bob Menendez. "The groups say they want Menendez out because he votes for too much government spending."

Louisiana U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Porteous Jr. was impeached by the House of Representatives today. In a rare show of bipartisanship, the legislative body voted unanimously to adopt articles of impeachment against Judge Porteus. The not-so-good Judge's fate now moves to the Senate, which requires a 2/3ds vote (67 votes) to convict him and toss him out on his ear.

From the people who brought you the funiest Mothers Day video ever, comes a metaphor showing that we are right and they are wrong. And how laughing at them may be the best way to drive them out of the room.

While the SCOTUS is on the verge of rolling back yet another civil rights protection, we can at least celebrate the end of slavery in this nation. For those who don't know what Juneteenth is all about, here is a primer.

This morning, the AP ran a story in the increasing dirty trickis this election, including a number of racist appeals. Curiously, though, every example they mentioned was designed to supress democratic voters or demographic groups likely to be predominantly Democratic.

A good friend and former colleague of mine, who happens to be conservative, sent me a missive on how poor Sarah Palin was getting slimed in the media. What follows is our email conversation. As to who won, I'll leave that for you to decide.

Since my profession is ruled by the billable hour, I will not be able to hang around. I will try to check in from time to time.

I don't normally read Richard Cohen's column but he had some great ones today. If this is the best the GOP can do to support their VP candidate, then I would surmise that the only people excited about her selection are John McCain and Sarah Palin.

It is hard to ignore it in this campaign. Race.

For the first time ever, we have a presumptive nominee who is an African American. There is no escaping it. Race.

Senator Obama delivered nothing short of an inspiring speech about it. Race.

But don’t we live in a colorblind society? Shouldn’t race be inconsequential? No. And no.

I just sent this missive to my Congressman, Jim Gerlach (PA 6). I know it probably won't change his vote, but maybe if he hears it enough, it might break through that Stepford Wives white noise coming out of the White House. Pipe dream? Probably. But should I sit on my hands because Gerlach is a GOP automiton? Hell no!
