Kick Start Roundup III

Item 1: As time grows short for McCain, his advocates are getting more and more practice using doublespeak. McCain himself is obviously no stranger - Max Bergmann provides a good breakdown of his contradictions and contortions on one very important issue: defense spending.

Item 2: Amusing article on the DCist relating Monday night's game and Tuesday night's elections.

Item 3: I think the very fact that the rest of the world is so clearly and unanimously in favor of Obama is, by itself, a legitimate reason to vote for him. Moreover, I think time will prove him to be a far shrewder statesman than many currently expect.
