In last Sunday interview with CNBC, McCain lied about his campaign manager, Rick Davis, regarding to Davis’s involvement with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. McCain said that Davis “has had nothing to do with it since, and I’ll be glad to have his record examined by anybody who wants to look at it.” New York Times jumped on the case and reported:

One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.

McCain might have to fire his campaign manager to cover up his lie.

CNN‘s Campbell Brown calls out the McCain campaign for covering up Palin as if she’s “a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment.” Damn right, let the vice president candidate speaks for herself.

Just a thought. I think Brown should conduct an interview with Palin. That would be fantastic. I am sure we’ll learn a lot more about Palin.

Today, George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs will host a discussion on blogs and how they change political discourse. The event sounds interesting. I’ll come to check it out.

A $26-million-dollar road to nowhere paid for by our tax money. Thanks to Palin.

My two colleagues and I went to Tonic for a once-a-month staff lunch to catch up on things. I had Sliders (3 mini burgers with Cheffy’s secret sauce, cheddar cheese, pickles, onion strings) and they were banging. If the mini paddies weren’t dried, the burgers would have been perfect. The onion strings weren’t so bad either. While enjoying the burgers, I wish Dana was there. I like to share burgers with her. Will take her there next time.

Michael Moore’s new film is now available to view online.

An impressive outline of Obama’s plan to reform Washington. The idea of an open and transparency government sounds great. He will allow us to read the bills online five days before he signs them and meetings will be broadcast online for us to see. No more secrecy. No more McCain.

Although I haven’t seen the previous version, I am loving what I see at Coffeenatic. Beautiful layout with great use of coffee color and the coffee-stain napkin is a great touch.

George Will:

It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency. It is arguable that McCain, because of his boiling moralism and bottomless reservoir of certitudes, is not suited to the presidency. Unreadiness can be corrected, although perhaps at great cost, by experience. Can a dismaying temperament be fixed?

Hell no!

Seattle Times endorses Obama:

Obama should be the next president of the United States because he is the most qualified change agent. Obama is a little young, but also brilliant. If he sometimes seems brainy and professorial, that’s OK. We need the leader of the free world to think things through, carefully. We have seen the sorry results of shooting from the hip.

That’s right!
