Bet the McCain camp wishes that they'd waited a week before they submitted their written answers to questions  posed on science and technology policy.

How do you protect America's position as a world leader in innovation? 

Learn how to do the Google?  Nope.

I am committed to streamlining burdensome regulations and effectively protecting American intellectual property in the United States and around the globe.

Oops. But wait, there's more. 

I am uniquely qualified to lead our nation during this technological revolution. 

Because for five and a half years he didn't have access to technology?  No, but close:

While in the Navy, I depended upon the technologies and information provided by our nation’s scientists and engineers with (sic) during each mission. 

And finally, just for fun, McCain tops it all off by reminding us that he really did invent the Blackberry:

Under my guiding hand, Congress developed a wireless spectrum policy that spurred the rapid rise of mobile phones and Wi-Fi technology that enables Americans to surf the web while sitting at a coffee shop, airport lounge, or public park.

All that within the response to a single question.  There are thirteen more. Happy hunting.

Anyone afraid that “First Dude” Todd Palin  will face legal troubles for refusing to honor the Troopergate-related subpoena?

Don’t be.  The Governor has his back covered.

As reported Thursday in the Anchorage Daily News, Todd Palin could be held in contempt for ignoring the subpoena, and face a fine up to $500 and up to six months in jail.  But the Legislature has to be in session to bring contempt charges, and it isn’t scheduled to convene until January.

Of course, the Alaska State Legislature could be convened in special session, but only if the governor issues an “Executive Proclamation.” Like this one, from June 2008.

So will Sarah Palin consider it in “the public interest” to convene a special session of the Legislature prior to November 4 so that they can consider contempt charges?

Sure...when lipstick-wearing pigs fly wolf-hunting planes.
