Amid V.P. buzz, Biden opines on Georgia, Pakistan - 2008 Presidential Campaign Blog - Political Intelligence - Boston.com
Note: FTP: (Per Senator Biden)"The claims of Georgian atrocities that provided the pretext for Russia’s invasion are rapidly being disproved by international observers, and the continuing presence of Russian forces in the country has severe implications for the broader region.~~~~~~~~~ So much for the "Georgia shot first" crap.

Michael Shaw: Reading The Pictures: The McCain Buffalo Chip (Un-)Cover-Up
Note: FPT: "Only the wildly hypocritical McCain could have made the scene at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally at the Buffalo Chip campground in Sturgis, S.D. and escaped any blowback from the wild debauchery and female exploitation that characterized the event. And, as an act of collusion, the media totally blinked, particularly the visual media. " ~~~~~I only heard about a 30-second blurb about this on Big Media - and look at what they're doing to Edwards now. McCain actually recommended his wife for a topless contest and Big Media said nothing. I wonder if anyone really cares what the Big Media does to run elections, ruin people, and censor what they think they should hear. Good photos here.

Libraries step into the age of iPod
Note: It may be about time to dig out that old library card. Hoping to draw back readers, libraries have vastly expanded their lists of digital books, music, and movies that can be downloaded by their patrons to a computer or MP3 player -- and it doesn't cost a cent, unlike, say, media from Apple Inc'siTunes or Amazon.com Inc.
