McCain's Lies and Lobbyists Piss Him Off (And Us, Too)

John McCain has decided that since everyone is annoyed at him for lying and being a dick when he's called out on it, he's going to say Obama is lying and being a dick when he's called out on it. That's still lying, John, you're missing the point here. [Gawker]
He was then promptly called out for lying again, not that he cares. [Swampland]
And for being all for anti-abortion terrorists and their rights to harass and commit acts of violence against women and reproductive health care providers. Even better? Nancy ~~Pfotenhauer~~Pfuckingsucks set him up for it by mistake. [Think Progress]
He's probably still wondering why Obama is ahead in the national polls, though. [CNN]

Katie Couric is annoyed that Sarah Palin is blaming her poor interview on editing. [Politico]
Lieberman thinks God will propel Sarah Palin to the Presidency. Unfortunately, neither God nor Jesus is an American, so they can't vote. [TNR]
Last call for voter registration in many states, so check yours here and fucking do it already if you haven't. [Vote411]
Michelle Bruce, whose second race for City Council was undermined by her opponents' attempts to force her to expose the status of her bits, finally won her lawsuit that she didn't mislead voters by identifying as Michelle. [Wonkette, Brattleboro Reformer]

Have You Registered To Vote?

As the Democratic National Convention (and Hillary Clinton) reminded us just over a month ago, women didn't achieve the right to vote until 88 years ago when Tennessee became the last state to ratify the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. These days, there's lots of talk about the youth vote and the women's vote and the importance to Barack Obama of bringing new voters to the polls. If you're not registered to vote or need more information about voting in your state, check out the League of Women Voters' Vote411 site, where you can find out registration deadlines, absentee ballot information, polling times and all sorts of other useful information. But riddle us this: who among you isn't registered yet? And why?

If you're one of the (hopefully) few people that isn't registered or doesn't plan to vote, we'd love to hear why (and try to convince you to change your mind). If you've put off registering, DO IT NOW — registration deadlines are about to be up. You can't bitch about the results on November 5th and afterwards if you can't be bothered to contribute to them.
