- Secret Service blamed Palin for sudden spike in Obama death threats | Crooks and Liars – There was a reason, I think, that people were repelled by the ugliness that proceeded from the McCain/Palin campaign this year — common sense, after all, should tell you where this kind of ugliness was heading. It showed up at the polls.
The problem is finding a way to put out the fuse that they lit.

- Two Families Named McCain – WSJ.com – The black and white McCain families have long acknowledged their shared history at Teoc, a name that applies to both the plantation and the now-sparse community around it.

McCain's younger brother, Joe, and other white McCains have attended family reunions organized by the African-American McCains.

- Keating Economics | Watch the Video and Share It with Your Friends – The backward economic philosophy and culture of corruption that helped create the current crisis are looking more and more like the other major financial crisis of our time.
During the savings and loan crisis of the late '80s and early '90s, McCain's political favors and aggressive support for deregulation put him at the center of the fall of Lincoln Savings and Loan, one of the largest in the country. More than 23,000 investors lost their savings. Overall, the savings and loan crisis required the federal government to bail out the savings of hundreds of thousands of families and ultimately cost American taxpayers $124 billion.
Sound familiar?

“The Wave”
From FirstShowing:
The Wave is an compelling German film that premiered at Sundance earlier this year. It’s about a high school teacher who sets up an experiment to demonstrate to his students what life is like under a dictatorship, but it soon spins horribly out of control when he forms a social unit with a life of its own.
Assuming this is the same version (it isn’t) – I saw a 1981 broadcast version of the Wave (as an ABC Afterschool Special, broadcast in primetime) in high school psychology class in 1989/1990 [available in two parts on YouTube]. Both the upcoming and prior video versions of The Wave were based on a book, which was in turn inspired by a 1969 real-life Paolo Alto, California high school ‘experiment’.
