Anybody seen
this clip from
Morning Joe? This question posed is whether it's fair that health insurance covers Viagra and not contraceptives. Yes, it's funny to watch McCain struggle, but also instructive that he ducks the whole issue.
I think he needs to be asked this one again, if only for comedy purposes.

The planned acceptance at Invesco Field at Mile High sounds brilliant to me. I think it's going to be a highly effective photo opp, so I understand if this worries the McCain camp.
But the response from an aide was to point out “that boy-band ‘NSync’ also sold out Invesco twice…NSYNC was at Mile High twice, in 2000 and 2001.”
Oh, so many problems.
*NSYNC is a boy band, so this only serves again to demonstrate that McCain is old and Obama is not.
Really? *NSYNC? Are we going from flashing back to 1967 to flashing back to 1998? Can you only look back, Senator McCain?
Since Invesco opened on September 10, 2001, that would have been a neat trick for *NSYNC to sell it out the previous year.
Is the point to be that it's no big deal if Obama fills Invesco, because even *NSYNC filled it twice? So, what's the big deal with Obama - he's only as popular as one of the biggest music acts of the last decade?

If you saw Countdown last night, as Rachel Maddow and Richard Wolfe discussed why Obama was taking heat over the 4th of July weekend about supposedly shifting position over Iraq, accompanied by old Obama quotes with the same position, you may have gotten frustrated all over again over the disparity. I'm not worried so much about the knocks Obama takes; if he can't take the knocks, he won't be ablt to be president.
It's that McCain flips and flops and lies on a regular basis, documented by his own public record, and nobody says "boo."
But rather than getting frustrated, we should be pushing back against every media outlet, every time we catch them doing it. That means sending intelligent letters and e-mails to all media outlets, including your local TV stations and newspapers. If we keep up the heat, perhaps we can shift the tide.
