Is McCain a Reality Based Candidate?

Follow this link to see excerpts of McCain’s interview with the editorial board of the Des Moines Register.

If this isn’t truly the most scary interview that a presidential candidate has ever given, then I don’t know what is.

Not only has he lost all ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy, but he appears to be just barely able to control his explosive temper.

Maybe he didn’t actually believed what he was saying in this interview.  In that case, what someone has observed as the equivalent of a tell in poker showed up if you watch the video carefully.  I just heard a verbal description of the tell, so I don’t know if the tell occurred when he poked out his lips with his tongue or it was the sticking his tongue out between his lips that is considered the tell.

Maybe Stephen Colbert was the first to notice.  Watch the end of this video clip.

Upon further research, I find that it is the tongue jut that is the tell.


Mission in Afghanistan is Doomed?

Follow this link to a report in a British online newspaper about what a French magazine had to say about what the French deputy ambassador had to say about what the British ambassador said.

If getting your news fourth (and now fifth) hand isn’t definitive enough for you, then I don’t know what is. 🙂
