“My question is, because John McCain constantly cites his service in Vietnam when on the campaign trail - why can’t we have a both respectful and substantive debate on how that does or does not relate to being a commander in chief. I’m not in any way talking about denigrating the man’s service or his time as a P.O.W, I’m not even talking about citing irrefutable facts like him graduating 884 out of 889 in the Naval Academy, the fact that he crashed 5 different planes as a pilot, was known to disobey orders, and owes his military advancement largely to family connections (His father and grandfather were both admirals in the Navy) I’m just suggesting that we challenge the silly notion that John McCain’s foreign policy cred is beyond reproach because of his time in captivity - its almost like someone making the “Wait a minute, his mother was white!” argument whenever some bumbling pundit discussed Obama’s one time perceived problem with white voters during the Democratic Primaries. That simply doesn’t work.” — Is John McCain the 50 Cent of politics? | The Nappy Diatribe | Blogs | Vibe.com

Recreating The Media

“We feel that we have recreated the mass media,” said Kim Malone Scott, director of sales and operations for AdSense.

Apparently replacing the mass media is no longer a goal.

11 Foods You Should be Eating but Aren't

rocketboom:

Some of these are a little odd, but according to the NY Times you should be eating these:

  1. Beets: Think of beets as red spinach, Dr. Bowden said, because they are a rich source of folate as well as natural red pigments that may be cancer fighters.
    How to eat: Fresh, raw and grated to make a salad. Heating decreases the antioxidant power.
  2. Cabbage: Loaded with nutrients like sulforaphane, a chemical said to boost cancer-fighting enzymes.
    How to eat: Asian-style slaw or as a crunchy topping on burgers and sandwiches.
  3. Swiss chard: A leafy green vegetable packed with carotenoids that protect aging eyes.
    How to eat it: Chop and saute in olive oil.
  4. Cinnamon: May help control blood sugar and cholesterol.
    How to eat it: Sprinkle on coffee or oatmeal.
  5. Pomegranate juice: Appears to lower blood pressure and loaded with antioxidants.
    How to eat: Just drink it.
  6. Dried plums: Okay, so they are really prunes, but they are packed with antioxidants.
    How to eat: Wrapped in prosciutto and baked.
  7. Pumpkin seeds: The most nutritious part of the pumpkin and packed with magnesium; high levels of the mineral are associated with lower risk for early death.
    How to eat: Roasted as a snack, or sprinkled on salad.
  8. Sardines: Dr. Bowden calls them “health food in a can.’’ They are high in omega-3’s, contain virtually no mercury and are loaded with calcium. They also contain iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese as well as a full complement of B vitamins.
    How to eat: Choose sardines packed in olive or sardine oil. Eat plain, mixed with salad, on toast, or mashed with dijon mustard and onions as a spread.
  9. Turmeric: The “superstar of spices,’’ it may have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
    How to eat: Mix with scrambled eggs or in any vegetable dish.
  10. Frozen blueberries: Even though freezing can degrade some of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables, frozen blueberries are available year-round and don’t spoil; associated with better memory in animal studies.
    How to eat: Blended with yogurt or chocolate soy milk and sprinkled with crushed almonds.
  11. Canned pumpkin: A low-calorie vegetable that is high in fiber and immune-stimulating vitamin A; fills you up on very few calories.
    How to eat: Mix with a little butter, cinnamon and nutmeg.

By day’s end, I will blend all eleven of these into a single supermeal.
