I've been thinking about McCain and the whole torture thing. He brings it up at every possible opportunity, but I think it's possible that it makes him significantly less qualified to be pres. He was there for what...four years? That is bound to damage the psyche in a profound and irreparable way. He has my respect for enduring it, but no way do I want that kind of experience anywhere near the red button.

Not to pick nits but what he brings up is his time as a POW, but he is very careful never to use the word "torture" because what happened to him, if we use the Bush definition, is "advanced interrogation techniques" that are approved by the White House for GITMO detainees.

Holy moly -- Just heard about some woman named "Ann Kilkenny" on NPR -- she grew up in Wasilla with Palin and they attended meetings together and such... she apparently decided to "tell the truth" and sent out an email to her acquaintances who wanted to know more about Palin's years there...

She said she sent bulk email to everyone with a promise to please not forward it "to the Internet" and of course it's hit the blogosphere.

All I can say is YIKES this woman is bad news!!

She was a TERRIBLE mayor!!

Honestly, that could so easily be a hoax that I'm not even going to read it.

But dude, it's on the Internet. Posted and forwarded by random people. How much more vetted do you need your dirt?

Plus I even like the name. Isn't "Kenny" the character they always kill on South Park? Kilkenny.

I know. My bad. After all, I have a picture of Palin in a bikini holding a scoped rifle by a swimming pool as my background.

I'm weak.

Snopes did confirm that the letter does originate with a long-time Wasilla resident named Ann Kilkenny. So it isn't a hoax in that regard.

Whether the content of the letter is accurate is, of course, mostly a matter of opinion.

You're way stronger than me. I've privately sworn off political threads at least a dozen times to be back in less than an hour.
