Palin and the Bridge(s) to Nowhere

The latest campaign ad from John McCain contends today that his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, “stopped the Bridge to Nowhere.”

Truth be told, I don’t blame him for his (apparently) monumental screw-up.  There was not much more [...]

McCain: I Will Veto Every Single Beer

Beer drinkers must unite to keep John McCain out of the oval office, or else there will be no more beer in America:
Call it prohibition McCain style… It was a slip of the tongue… McCain waving the veto pen:
