In the past week, the Obama campaign demonstrated that it is willing to hit McCain hard when the opportunities present themselves.

I think that well is quite deep. From the economy to gas prices to the war in Iraq and national security in general, McCain has been "Johnny-on-the-spot" for whatever side of the issue is important to the particular group he happens to be addressing.

This week, he trotted out two endorsements that highlight his "flip-floppery" with glowing red, neon signs.

Sorry for the short diary, but I just got the text - it's Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius.

The text states:

"Barack Obama has chosen Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kansas) to be his vice presidential running mate. Please forward."

Haven't seen it anywhere on the MSM or blogosphere.

Let the posting, complaining, and praising begin.

Is John McCain liable to Paris Hilton?

A good friend of mine, who is a lawyer specializing in patent and trademark law, maintains a blog dedicated to his other legal love - defamation.

Brian is the kind of guy the revels in legal theory and revels even more in legal minutia. Probably why he will make a great law professor one day.

My fiancee and I are registered at Bed Bath & Beyond. We registered for a variety of stuff including a number of small kitchen things that those who cannot afford to by us the $400 stand mixer that my fiancee wants can still get us stuff we need.

A good friend of mine and his wife bought us 5 things and put them together. A tea kettle, 2 different types of measuring cups, a set of measuring spoons, and an egg separator (I didn't know it existed either).

Bed Bath & Beyond sent us the tea kettle separately. Then, much to her excitement a second box came, presumably with the rest of the gift. We were wrong.

Here is the Youtube video of the Package.

Please see the video first, before the jump and the tirade.

While watching CSI: Miami (I know, so shoot me), the WUSA News at 11 bumper was:

"Tonight, a former Klan member endorses Barack Obama"

The former Klan member in question: West Virginia Senator and President Pro Tem Robert Byrd.

Hearing the story about Governor Spitzer sparked something in my memory from 2004.

I remember reading an article somewhere about how "escorts" are being flown into New York because of the increased demand as a result of the GOP National Convenion. I did a google search and found the article here (I love the internet).

This story just hit my radar screen, and I'm embarrassed to say I didn't learn about it earlier.

I don't know if any amount of rational arguement or pleading will be able to convince Governor Perry that this is too disgusting even for Texas, but we need to try.

I have to admit it, I'm against the death penalty. It's not an issue of values or morality for me. I just don't think it works as a deterrent. It's only purpose is vengence, and vengence is not an substitute for justice.

That being said, this headline struck me as an interesting bit of punishment today:

China executes ex-drug chief for graft.

China executed a former drug and food safety chief on Tuesday for corruption in an unusually swift sentence which will serve as a warning amid a series of health scandals that have stained the "made in China" brand.

Do you see what happens?

Give them an inch, and they think they can do anything. I guess with the Democrats in Congress caving on everything else, the Bush administration feels that they can pretty much do whatever.

Wall Street Journal published an article about the list just released by the White House of potential World Bank president nominees.

Guess who's on it?

As we all know at this point, Wolfowitz is out as President of the World Bank.

I have a slightly more insider view of this whole issue than most people. I am not a Bank employee, however, I have been in the field of international development and foreign aid for over 10 years working for a variety of nonprofits and consulting firms implementing development programs.

From that perspective, the following statement struck me as strange:

Prior to listening to The Daily Show yesterday, I hadn't heard Paul McNulty's excuse for resigning as Deputy Attorney General. I had assumed he fed the press some line about "spending more time with the family, yatta, yatta, yatta."

Instead, Mr. McNulty stated that his reason for leaving was:

"The financial realities of college-age children and two decades of public service lead me to a long overdue transition in my career"

Oh, well that makes sense. He needs to be a partner at a K Street law firm in order to be able to afford to put his kids through college.

So I googled the CNN article and, in a bit of actual reporting on the part of CNN, they listed how much the DAA makes.

A source close to McNulty told CNN that the deputy attorney general had planned to resign from the $165,000-a-year job about a month ago, but decided to announce the move at a conference of U.S. attorneys in Texas.
