Pelosi keeps door open on war tax?????
Pelosi keeps door open on war tax.
What.
The.
Fuck.
I’m sorry, but you’re considering a “graduated surtax” on the American people to pay for a war that many of the people in the country don’t want in the first place??
How about we stop paying Halliburton and Black Water the outrageous amounts of money we’re giving them? How about we get some of the other members of our “Coalition of the Willing” to pony up some cash?? -

Morse code, anyone?
I don’t recall why or when, but I used eBay to sell off my Bakelite Morse code telegraph key (very much like this one). I honestly don’t even remember WHY I had it – I just did. It was cool, especially since it also had the Morse code “key” right on it – making it easy to learn.
I regret never learning Morse code. Sure, I know SOS (… — …) but that’s it. It was like French in high school – seductive, alluring, but out of my reach for reasons I didn’t understand. I understand now, but thanks to the internet, I don’t need to learn it.

But the point of this post? John McCain. If you’ve watched him in the debates recently, you might have noticed the same thing I did: he blinks. A lot.
If you think about John’s service to this country – something that might have come up at some point in this election season – you’ll find that he was a POW. And one of the things that POW’s were often made to do – by coercion or even by simply breaking them – was to record a propagandized “confession.” In some cases, such as Jeremiah Denton, they were able to use Morse code to send a message to people watching the video. John McCain made one such message, although it apparently didn’t include a “secret” message.
I bring this up because of the blinking. Is John McCain sending us all a message? There’s hours of footage of him talking, both at debates and just doing stump speeches and campaign stops. Does anyone have the time to look at a video or two and see if there’s a pattern? If we can get a “transcript” of his blinks, perhaps we can figure out his message to his “friends”….
Interestingly, when I was writing this, a Google search on the terms “morse code pow film” and the first result was “Film Shows McCain’s Release as POW.” There is also a forum post on Snopes that discusses McCain possibly using Morse code during his propaganda film – apparently he didn’t.
Over on Democratic Underground they discuss his blinkiness – and someone mentions Morse code there. They seem to be joking about it, but I don’t see any evidence out there that anyone has done any actual checking on this.
Leaving the politics out of this for the moment, I think it’s an interesting challenge: look at his blinks and see if he’s sending a message – consciously or sub-consciously. While we’re at it, we could take a look at Barack Obama’s blinks, just to make things far.
Anyone up for the challange? -

Palin treatment is not sexist: it's realist
Commentary: Sexist treatment of Palin must end
Oh PLEASE. They’re not being sexist – they’re just afraid of what she’ll say when she opens her mouth. Why else have they been so controlling about her public appearances?
I think that at this point in the campaign – especially with McCain now “suspending” his campaign to worry about the economy – we’re all past Caribou Barbie and pitbulls wearing lipstick. She gives bad interviews. Deal with it. Let’s move on to our failing economy, shall we? -

Republitards….
Like many people, I have multiple email addresses. I’ve been having a small problem with one address – it’s apparently tied to some demographic profile of my wife and I, so I occasionally get crap sent to it. It’s one thing when it’s a local car dealership – at least it’s quasi-local, and makes some sense.
But how is it that I am getting emails from the John McCain campaign, asking me for money? Technically, I’m an Independent voter – perhaps that’s why?
I’ve commented before about the junkmail before, but this is the first time it’s invaded my Inbox. And I have to say that opening an email titled “57 Days Until Election Day” that allegedly comes from John McCain, and then finding his lying face in the message – that was a bit of a shock.
