While most of our time on popular social networking site Facebook is spent trying to impress our cohorts with our favorite bands and films or attempting to propel porpoises into the far reaches of the spiral galaxy, we recently took notice of a new application added by Republican presidential hopeful John McCain's campaign staff: a simple flash game titled Pork Invaders, an obvious parody of the similarly titled arcade classic.
Don't mistake the game's title to mean the Arizona senator harbors any disdain for unkosher meats -- rather, the act of firing vetoes at familiar patterns of descending pigs symbolizes the candidate's contempt for pork barrel spending -- the earmarking of funds for seemingly unnecessary projects. It's not a particularly good game, though it is worth noting when the U.S.'s prospective new leaders enter the intimidating world of game development. We hope for a swift response from the presumptive Democratic candidate's campaign -- Obomberman, perhaps?

| "The McCain campaign's further descent into ugliness" | | So John McCain has jumped the shark. Consider these words from the typically right-wing-friendly Joe Klein:
I'm of two minds about how to deal with the McCain campaign's further descent into ugliness. Their strategy is simple: you throw crap against a wall and then giggle as the media try to analyze the putresence in a way that conveys a sense of balance: "Well, it is bull-pu [..] Read complete article | | Published 07-Oct-2008 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

| Questions for McCain about Israel | | The Editors ask: McCain: Enemy of Israel or All Out Anti-Semite?:

Shortly after McCain issued that promise to completely abandon Israel, the McCain camp was forced to backtrack publicly due to pressure from various campaign advisors.

| McCain Plummets With Stocks | | John McCain unleashed a fusillade of attacks on Barack Obama today (mysterious background, shady Palestinian donors, etc), trying to change the subject from the economy. Taking a page out of Karl Rove's playbook, Obama's campaign responded by saying that John McCain was "angry" and "frustrated."
In any event: Yesterday's uptick in McCain's odds of winning the presidency is a memory. Aft [..] Read complete article | | Published 06-Oct-2008 by Silicon in General
