(Not bad for a conservative.) In all the discussion of John McCain’s recently recovered memory of a religious epiphany in Vietnam, one thing has been missing. The torture that was deployed against McCain emerges in all the various accounts.

Here’s a report CNN did on this billboard.

Here’s the “music video” version of the song the man wrote who’s renting this billboard. Here’s the link to his web site.

But I am always reminded of H. L. Mencken’s remark. “No-one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.” Let’s hope they get it this time and that this cover doesn’t feed the beast of right wing dimwittery.

The plotters, who were alleged to involve some of the most famous families in America, (owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Goodtea, Maxwell Hse & George Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression.

Edward Kennedy’s (D-Mass.) office just announced that he has been diagnosed with a “malignant glioma,” or tumor, in his brain. Such a condition is usually treated with radiation and/or chemotherapy, though the statement says decisions on his treatment have not been made yet.

George Bush’s grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany. The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism. His business dealings, which continued until his company’s assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
