John McCain, The Brick Tamland Of Presidential Candidates

Ezra Klein on McCain’s fundamental misunderstanding of how Social Security works:

There are criticisms that people make of Social Security, most of them relating to a mismatch between the program’s revenue and its future obligations. But McCain’s comment is very different. It’s like if lots of people made fun of one guy’s car because it was broken down, ugly, and lacked headlights. Then one of the dimmer members of the group, sensing an opportunity to jump in, piped up with, “yeah, four wheels and an engine? What’s with that!? When you gonna do something about that!?”

“Hey! Where did you get those clothes? At the…toilet…store?.”

This Is So Horribly Immature

Shame on you, Vanity Fair. Shame on you.

I Miss You, My Beautiful Site

We shall return, you and I. Oh we shall.

Ah, drugging your wife. I've been there. Careful though, it's a slippery slope. One day it's caffeine, the next you're rooting around the nightstand at two in the morning trying to find an adrenalin shot to counteract a valium overdose.
