McCain is a hero, so…
Over on Newsvine, I am asked if I believe that John McCain has lied about or embellished his experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. I reply (elaborating some thoughts previously presented here), as follows,

The Race “Card”
The Race “Card”
by Sasha
As has occured in the past, we find the common media and even everyday folks using phrases like “the race card,” as if a discussion of race in the current campaign were not a serious matter. Use of the “card” construction just pisses me off beyond belief. It is a […]
