The big buzz for today's wires on the human interest frequency is the story of a McCain supporter, Daniel Zubairi, standing up for Muslims against the Limbaugh-style ranting of another supporter.

Thing is, his outrage doesn't kick in until yet another supporter threatens to change her vote.

Check out the video here, with stills from 00:22 showing Zubairi standing silent, then at 01:05 when he steps in to save Kurdish-American girl's vote.

At last, the truth about the American POW/MIA in Southeast Asia has another chance at being investigated.

The investigator writing about it is Pulitzer prize-winner Sydney Schanberg. Schanberg is responsible for exposing Pol Pot's killing fields. He is a tireless crusader for POW/MIA rights.

Next month, national periodical The Nation will be publishing the investigation that has proven Schanberg's greatest challenge - revealing the impediment to releasing documents from North Vietnam and around the world that the POW/MIA families have, for decades, been fighting to obtain.

Schanberg writes what these families, and those that know them, political spectrum aside, well know:

That the man who has fought hardest, even against a unanimous Senate, to conceal those records, is John McCain.

We must STOP visiting Drudge Report.

Drudge Report is the clearing house for media - old and new - where shows get their talking points and truth is decided on.

Drudge is also a fervid right-winger determined to poison the well in 2008. This has become increasingly evident since Governor Palin, who shares Drudge's anti-intellectual values, took the scene. Almost all pieces he features are provocative, pro-Palin, anti-Obama.

Join the Drudge Revolt to stop Drudge's influence: Avoid Drudge Report, rely on other new media exclusively, get others to do so.

Vote in this poll. Bump this post. E-mail this to friends.

Below are Drudge alternatives.

I recently received an annoying chain e-mail sarcastically listing reasons for voting Democratic, among them:

"I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse."

Now that the war in Georgia is cooling down, we in the West have to ask ourselves: Could it have gone better, and if so, how?

We have to step off the anti-Imperialist soapbox a moment and ask what would have happened had the Russians not stepped in.

The USA finds itself in the uneviable position of possibly having to show Georgia and the world what kind of ally it is. It will likely be unable to bring much to the table.

Top Ten Clinton Earmarks Out of $2.3 Billion

Clinton has made no less than $2.3 billion in earmarks for the coming year. That is almost three times the amount of the next guy down, and over nine times that of an average year for Obama. But who cares, when angry black people and the 'Survivor-esque' drama of a man betrayed by his pastor, betrying him in kind, is so much more interesting?

With Clinton refusing to do more than "broadly define" what she spent this ridiculous amount of money on, no disclosure from her about what she spent in prior years, and no press attention, we are left only to speculate.

Therefore, I give you the Top Ten Most Suspicious Clinton Earmarks:

The top story buzzing on the Drudge Report and wire services this morning is a story on how tired the Democratic candidates are after all this campaigning. I, for one, am tired of those kinds of empty-headed puff pieces that seem to attract the American attention like a Sugar Daddy stuck to an old shoe.

In honor of my growing exhaustion with this campaign's fixation on exhaustingly moronic topics, I bring you a Top Ten list of other stories that need to be put to rest:

10. Family Fluff - I don't need to hear about these people's kids. Let's wait a few years before infusing their home lives with soap opera high hokum in an entertaining Shotime series. ...

The Primary race for the Democratic Party presidential nomination seems to have taken a tragic turn, as Hillary Clinton complained that yet another of her faculties failed her - her hearing.

Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday seemed to deny that she told New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson that Barack Obama could not win the presidency.

But her campaign later said she misheard a reporter's question.

As Cameron Fredman inimitably points out with the assistance of muppets, Clinton's reaction to being pressed about her comments to Richardson reveals nothing save that she is absurdly evasive. She denies her denial that she had said that Obama cannot win the general election, on the grounds of mishearing.

One can only wonder what faculties she will lose next. As I am a political scientist, further credentialled by my status as a Web journalist and so depended upon to make ridiculous predictions in keeping with our famed tradition, I would hypothesize the following:
