- Just for kicks and giggles, why not download a McLiar Bingo card for tomorrow night’s final presidential debate. It will help you keep track of the lies John McCain continues to spread about Barack Obama’s record and platform.
- This past weekend I took a mini-vacation and during the drive to my destination, I counted the number of yard signs supporting presidential candidates. Here’s what I found: 9 – Obama; 25 – McCain; 4 – Ron Paul. This might mean nothing, but what if you were an undecided voter driving to a polling station along that route? Get down to your Democratic headquarters and pick up a yard sign or two or five. Can’t get there? Make your own sign. Make a seasonal display. Make a horror scene on your lawn of a McCain presidency (easy to come up with visuals there).

Murray Waas of The Huffington Post has a blockbuster story about John McCain’s transition chief, D.C. lobbyist William Timmons. According to Waas:
“(Timmons) aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.
The two lobbyists who Timmons worked closely with over a five year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein’s government.
During the same period beginning in 1992, Timmons worked closely with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, on a previously unreported prospective deal with the Iraqis in which they hoped to be awarded a contract to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent, and Park stood to share at least $45 million if the business deal went through.”
