Some early problems for McCain that MUST be addressed Across the US, Campaign '08, DC Life, Democrats, Party Politics | (10)
There is no doubt that we are embarking on what could be one of the most contentious elections that most people living today have ever seen. Already, attack ads are flying from both sides, and from campaigns to 527 organizations, each entity has started going after the various flaws and slip-ups of their opponents. Today, CNN is reporting that the Republican National Committee is fighting to have ads released by the Democratic National Convention pulled off of the air, because they are ‘misleading.’ I’m sure next week the DNC will have a slew of ads that they want taken off of the air, ...

Celebrity McCain supporters make their way to DC Across the US, DC Life, Random | (27)
Update (10/24): Heidi Montog and Spencer Pratt release new Palin pictures I’m not normally one to get caught up in pop culture, but when Heidi Montag, feux-celebrity from MTV’s “The Hills” stated that she was supporting John McCain for President, I couldn’t help but keep an eye on this story. As anyone in DC knows, a few days ago was the White House Correspondents dinner, which usually has a variety of celebrities representing various causes and/or political agendas. This year was no different, Pamela Anderson was there promoting animal rights, as a guest of PETA and Jenny McCarthy was there promoting a march ...

U.S. barracks more primitive than those in Iraq? Across the US | (2)
Not once did I ever imagine there being evidence to actually support the claim that barracks being built for foreign armies, funded by the American taxpayer are actually in better shape than some of the barracks our troops have to stay in here in the United States. However, CNN.com released a story today that not only brought forward accusations of poor conditions in barracks, but actually presented video and images to back up those claims. Check out this video sent to CNN by the father of soldier who returned from Afghanistan: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46vYZFU1Dew[/youtube] Now, I know that this is the military, where "roughing it" is ...

Spitzers Hooker Sues Girls Gone Wild? Across the US | (4)
I honestly thought that this whole Spitzer/Hooker/Girls Gone Wild thing was something that would only last a few days, fading away with Ashley Dupree getting a spread in Playboy or something. Throughout all of the many twists and turns this story had, at no point did I ever imagine that Ashley Dupree would actually have her legal team file a lawsuit against Joe Francis' Girls Gone Wild empire. The hooker is suing for $10million, claiming that that she was illegally exploited on the Girls Gone Wild website following "hooker-gate." Is this high-priced hooker actually claiming that she was exploited by the actions of ...
