One of the many issues on which John McCain is hiding his plans from the American people in is regards to Social Security. It's an important issue to a lot of people.... a lot of Americans are counting on Social Security being there for them when they retire.

Seems that the McCain campaign folks never bothered to license the music they were illegally exploiting for free featuring in the videos. Updated and Bumped: They did it again - the second time in two weeks. Apparently copyright laws are among the laws easily ignored by the McCain camp. Third Update: They did it again and now they're being sued.

She did say that there was deeper water down the street at the intersection. Therefore it's fake, but accurate. That's the new standard, don't you know?

So what? What's your point? I have an unimpeachable source that says that that was water and that was a boat. And besides the camera and digitization and pixel misregistration can lead to image distortion. I'll grant you that it might have been fake, but still accurate.

The real question is, which is more shallow, the water or the reporter?

They're also assuming that Americans are so dumb that they don't know how to use a canoe. You could see her paddle hitting the pavement a few inches below the water every single time. Even if the guys hadn't walked by when they did she would have been busted.

Actually, if you watch the full video clip, I think it's really interesting what Katie Couric says at the very end. She laments: "Oh well, the best laid plans..." She is acknowleding that it was a scam intended to dupe the viewers and her lament is not that it was tried but that is didn't work! A very revealing clip indeed...
