Is McCain Eligible?
Politics Buzz The NY Times revived an issue that got buried months ago: John McCain was born in the Panama Canal, making him ineligible for the Presidency. Doh! The Republicans are truly f*cked if this is the case. However, John McCain has survived this long, I doubt that this tiny stipulation would keep him down.

Charlie Black: FAIL
Politics Buzz One of John McCain's campaign advisers has apologized after telling Fortune that another terrorist attack on America would be "advantageous" to his boss's presidential run. Yikes. McCain has distanced himself from Black, saying he "can't imagine" why such comments would be made. In the case that McCain is, in fact, voted into office, Black has already been banished to the "loser table" in the White House cafeteria.

McCain, The Children’s Book
Politics Buzz Meghan McCain is writing a children's book about her daddy. Yay! Should be good times for kids, especially the Vietnam sections, like the part that reads, "He didn’t get the right kind of medical care for his broken bones, and the food was really bad." It'll be the first kid's book about surviving torture since the Dr. Seuss classic, The Wubbler Gets Waterboarded.

McCain’s Medical Records
Politics Buzz John McCain has released his personal medical information, sort of.

Candidate Handwriting
Politics Buzz Spiraling ever-inward, we now come to focus on the handwriting of the remaining presidential candidates and what it says about them. Parsing the campaign fonts wasn't enough, so now graphologists are weighing in -- with skills usually reserved for the likes of Paris Hilton or Britney Spears -- on the looped Ls and squiggly Ts of our next President. Next up, phrenologists will read the bumps and fissures in their skulls.

Campaign Fonts
Politics Buzz Who would you vote for, if you only had fonts to go on? Looking closely at the official campaign fonts of the three remaining candidates reveals a lot about their message (and it's of interest to more than just design geeks, I swear).
-
John Hagee
Politics Buzz Pastor John Hagee, whose negative comments about Catholics has caused trouble for John McCain, has written a letter of apology to William Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights.

McCain Hates Women
Politics Buzz Bloggers are urging women to send their resumes to Senator McCain in response to his comment that women need more "education and training" if they want equal pay. After Senate Republicans blocked the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act last Wednesday, McCain (who failed to even show up for the vote) blames the wage gap on lack of education. Since 58% of college graduates are women, maybe McCain needs more education on the issue?
-
McCain Girls
Politics Buzz The YouTube sensation featuring a trio of women singing pro-McCain songs turns out to be a hoax masterminded by 23/6, a humor website. Everyone seems to have an opinion. This YouTube comment pretty much sums it all up: "your song is stupid and mccain is wierd." (Thanks for the tip!)
