Soooo, it looks like McCain–a man who once called his wife a “trollop” and a “cunt” during his 1992 senate race–is now pandering to lefty bloggers:
The McCain campaign has recently started to hold bi-weekly conference calls with left-wing blogs and blogs focusing on single issues, such as the environment and health care. … The last [...]

Well, I got the dog from the vet, and I’ve snapped a few pictures to chronicle the whole affair. Here she is right before we left for her surgery, unsuspecting:

Tonight I truly request your presence at the indoor stage at Stubbs. There you will find me and a few friends watching Northern State. They are fun! Here they are in Austin last year.
