Barack Obama is headed to Hawaii on vacation. He deserves a break, right? Besides, it’s a summer tradition. Apparently not, at least according to his opponent. A spokesman for John McCain just remarked, “Americans are facing sky-high gas prices, and instead of Barack Obama taking the initiative to call his allies in Congress back from vacation to carve out real energy relief, he’s joining them at the beach.” And to think, on our 2008 U.S. Presidential Candidate Travel Scorecard, we gave McCain a whopping four-and-a-half Air Force Ones out of five. I, for one, now regret that. I know times are tough, but we Americans must stand firm in support of vacations.

The Keating ConnectionFrom: seekingalpha.com Post Date: 2008-10-06 13:32:54 Matt Cooper (Portfolio.com) submits: J. Jennings Moss reports: Remember Charles Keating? Barack Obama’s presidential campaign hopes so. But just in case you don’t, the campaign today released a 13-minute online documentary about the poster child for the savings and loan crisis of nearly 20 years ago, and of John McCain’s involvement in it. The video, "Keating Economics: John McCain and the Making of a Financial Crisis", was posted on a special minisite, Kea...

McCain Shifts Attack to Supreme CourtFrom: feeds.feedburner.com Post Date: 2008-10-06 14:07:11 The McCain campaign wants voters to believe "that Mr. Obama’s judgment about his associates [Rezko, Ayers, and Wright] shows that he cannot be trusted to pick justices for the Supreme Court." An ad to that effect will begin running this week. John McCain's association with Charles Keating, Phil Gramm, and a brigade of lobbyists is apparently irrelevant to McCain's judgment. At least it won't be mentioned in the advertising. Conservatives are particularly exercised that Barac...

I loved the Sigur R?s documentary, Heima, which aired on Sundance Channel (and will air next week, too). Not only because I like the band’s distinctive, ethereal music, but because the film was shot in more than a dozen places around Iceland and really captures a sense of place. Check out this great trailer in a big-screen format, with its images of ice fields and empty roads,...

He’s seen lots of monkeys, and he went zip-lining, “which is a sport where the object is to look like the world’s biggest dork,” he writes. “I was very good at it.” Judge for yourself.
