When John McCain’s captors say he wasn’t tortured I don’t believe them for a second. Maybe they didn’t torture by George Bush’s definition of the term which is to say, they didn’t cause organ failure or death. Still, this Al Jazeera video is interesting. It’s a shame the American media is so uninterested in the rest of the world.

Thursday, September 4th, 2008Sarah Palin is Mean Girl
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Recently I feel that every time I read something in Slate I get a little stupider and less happy. But there are exceptions! Anything by Dahlia Lithwick, for instance. I adore her. Now I adore her even more. Having sworn off Slate, I’d likely have never seen this if it weren’t for The Editors over at The Poor Man Institute.
Sarah Palin has a great career as a right-wing radio talk show host in front of her. Personally, I wish her all the best in that endeavor. Just keep her away from my government.
UPDATE: The RNC, after McCain’s acceptance speech, is playing “Barracuda” by Heart. I’m going to predict now that this will be the theme song when Palin’s radio show goes into national syndication. I’m serious.
