• We Are Making al-Qaeda Stronger

  “A 2007 report from the National Counterterrorism Center is starkly titled 'Al-Qaeda Better Positioned to Strike the West.' How did the war on terror fail so disastrously?”

• Top Three Spontaneous Chants Of The Week

  "ZERO! ZERO! ZERO!" The audience exploded with zeros and fist pumps whenever a speaker referenced Obama's lack of experience in an executive office—actually, pretty much every time someone referenced Obama.
  
  "DRILL BABY, DRILL! DRILL BABY, DRILL!" Michael Steele coined this gem during his "are y'all ready to party?" speech. The audience loved it and clung to it like they cling to their things they cling to.
  
  "USA! USA! USA!" This old standby could be heard at least once during every prime-time speech, most notably in what seemed like an attempt to prevent McCain from making the slightest concession that some people are going through tough economic times. Earlier in that speech, it successfully (and by design) drowned out the shouts of a protester who'd made his way into the nosebleed seats with a giant sign reading: MCCAIN VOTES AGAINST VETS. The sign was destroyed by a nearby patriot.

• Action, Reaction

  Tonight, the crowd went mad for John McCain—but that was a given after the past three days of clap-happy shouting. There's already plenty of praise and criticism being bandied about the media landscape. But what do you think: Did the man win your heart with his humble, patriotic confidence? Did he inspire you with hope that he can change Washington (change being his new campaign, apparently)? Or did it all fall on deaf ears?
  
  In case you missed the speech, you can watch it here, or you can read this transcript if that's what suits your fancy.

• Meanwhile, In Minneapolis

  Tonight, most of the country will be hanging on John McCain's every word. However, some excess of 2,000 people will take their seats in Minneapolis's Orchestra Hall where Cindy Sheehan, Nellie McKay, Jesse Ventura, David Rovics, Ike Reilly, and Tom Neilson will make a vociferous case to open the presidential debates to Ralph Nader. With the Nader/Gonzalez ticket at about 6 percent in a recent CNN poll, and with an expectation of appearing on the ballot in some 45 states, they certainly have grounds on which to mount an argument. And, just to be clear, let's remember that third party candidates don't ruin elections; they simply enliven the national conversation by removing the either/or-blinders from the eyes public.

• Wright Irony

  How very ironic that Rev. Wright was demonized for saying exactly this in more colorful language: "America's chickens have come home to roost."

• McCain's VP Choice

  In my opinion McCain's choice of Palin proves him incompetent and reckless. McCain had only met with Palin one time before he chose her to be his running mate. His staff had not vetted her. And yet he chose her to be a 72-76 year old heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States of America. McCain's poor judgement appears to mirror that of Bush's here. McCain and Palin will continue to give big oil ownership of America, your wallet, and eventually your mortgage. Not to mention the fact that conservative republicans despise the Constitution of the United States, (not that Americans really care about small details like that - our main concern is being able to afford gas right now.)
