The most shocking thing about McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin is that he only met her once or twice before deciding that she was qualified to serve as the most powerful leader on Earth.

Now, he’s asking us to get to know her in fewer than 70 days.

As conservative Andrew Sullivan writes to a conflicted McCain supporter:

This isn’t just about the number of days Obama or Palin have been in office. Since breaking onto the national stage Obama has given countless print, radio, and television interviews. He has been bombarded with criticism and praise until a sketch of the man could be draw from the stack of clippings. I’ve only seen a handful of Palin interviews. And I’ve little to no idea about her judgment or what she thinks about the issues. And I don’t know that McCain knows her much better than I do. If voters had found Obama, his experience, or his policies wanting, they had a chance to reject him. They approved. Only McCain has approved of Palin.

In Palin’s next national interview, I’d like to see her asked, “just how many times did you speak to McCain about the position prior to being selected?”

Job applicants for even the most entry-level positions typically endure several face-to-face interviews. How many did Palin have with McCain?

McCain’s pick is a roll of the dice. His first executive decision was extremely irresponsible one.

I thought Joe Biden gave an effective acceptance speech last night, and one section resonated with me personally. I’ve been taking AmTrak between Washington and New York quite a lot in the past year. In fact, I’m taking a train tonight.

There’s truth in the romanticism of train travel. You wind through cities and neighborhoods and see things you can’t see from our interstate highway system. The stretch through Baltimore is especially eye-opening. From the tracks, you can see block after block of depressed neighborhoods. Some houses have boarded up windows. You can see people mingling on small porches and children playing in the street.

Biden describe his commute this way:

I’ve never seen a time when Washington has watched so many people get knocked down without doing anything to help them get back up. Almost every night, I take the train home to Wilmington, sometimes very late. As I look out the window at the homes we pass, I can almost hear what they’re talking about at the kitchen table after they put the kids to bed.

Like millions of Americans, they’re asking questions as profound as they are ordinary. Questions they never thought they would have to ask:

“Should mom move in with us now that dad is gone?”

“Fifty, sixty, seventy dollars to fill up the car?”

“Winter’s coming. How we gonna pay the heating bills?”

“Another year and no raise?”

“Did you hear the company may be cutting our health care?”

“Now, we owe more on the house than it’s worth. How are we going to send the kids to college?”

“How are we gonna be able to retire?”

That’s the America that George Bush has left us, and that’s the future John McCain will give us.

Biden’s speaks from ground level. He effectively paints a picture he is almost sitting with families at the kitchen table with his fellow Americans — hearing and sharing in their concerns.

Now contrast this to the closing paragraphs of Dick Cheney’s acceptance speech in 2000. He spoke about flying in a helicopter over Washington and Northern Virginia:

When you make that trip from Andrews to the Pentagon, and you look down on the city of Washington, one of the first things you see is the Capitol, where all the great debates that have shaped 200 years of American history have taken place. You fly down along the Mall and see the monument to George Washington, a structure as grand as the man himself. To the north is the White House, where John Adams once prayed “that none but honest and wise men may ever rule under this roof.” Next you see the memorial to Thomas Jefferson, the third president and the author of our Declaration of Independence. And then you fly over the memorial to Abraham Lincoln, this greatest of presidents, the man who saved the union. Then you cross the Potomac, on approach to the Pentagon. But just before you settle down on the landing pad, you look upon Arlington National Cemetery its gentle slopes and crosses row on row.

I never once made that trip without being reminded how enormously fortunate we all are to be Americans, and what a terrible price thousands have paid so that all of us and millions more around the world might live in freedom.

This passage has always bothered me because that italicized sentence includes a lie. Anyone who has ever been to Arlington National Cemetery knows that you don’t see “crosses row on row.” The headstones are tombstone-shaped. From the air, you won’t be able to make out crosses — or any other religious symbol for that matter — as you can see in this aerial photo.

(Cheney’s sentiment also proved dishonest, of course, because the Bush-Cheney policies have betrayed the legacy of these American heroes by asking our men and women in uniform to sacrifice not for freedom, but for incompetence and false objectives.)

But thanks to Biden’s words, I now realize that Cheney’s words were essentially true. Cheney and Bush saw it as their role to observe America from the air. While some Democrats have been getting tweaked for not caring about the so-called “fly-over states” — those “red states in the center of the country — Bush and Cheney have been conducting fly-overs of American families. We saw it when Bush rode Air Force One over New Orleans after Katrina. This is the enduring metaphor for this administration. They look down on real American households, never lingering long enough to mentally and spiritually internalize the family’s concerns.

I know that Biden’s speech, like all political speeches, is a product of persuasion and hyperbole. I may be nothing more than a wide-eyed true believer. But for me, at least, his words had power.

Scene: Cohen dinner table earlier. Son approaches father, Pokeman card in hand.

Son: Daddy, look, my friend gave me a Pokeman card at camp.

Me: Cool, I like it.

Son: I need 15 of them to play. You can buy more cards for me. They don’t cost very much. They are very, very cheap.

Me: If they don’t cost very much, then you can buy them with your allowance.

Son: But Daddy, I might not have enough money. You can buy them, they are really, really cheap.

Me: If they are really cheap, you can buy them.

Son, raising voice: But I might not have enough money!

Me: How much do they cost?

Son: I have no idea.

Curtain.

Sorry for the radio silence on this blog, but with the Onion churning out political satire this spot on, why should I exert myself brewing up original commentary?

Once in awhile, I find that my podcasts don’t download completely. Here I am, listening to the show in iTunes or on my iPod, and suddenly the episode just stops. I look  closely and realize the the episode’s total running time is shorter than is supposed to be. The balance of the show is just not there.

I’m not sure why this happens. It just might be that due to network congestion, the download times out or something.

This happened this week when I attempted to download Apple’s keynote presentation from the World Wide Developers Conference. It’s a mammoth video file that is now available via Apple’s Keynote Podcast.

There’s no obvious way to reload the episode. But here’s how you do it:

1. Click on “Podcasts” in iTunes.
2. Expand the podcast in question and then delete the bad and/or missing episodes (by selecting and hitting “delete” key).
3. Collapse the podcast by clicking the triangle, and then expand it while holding the option key. This will cause iTunes to totally update all episodes in the podcast. It will add the other episodes back in and restore the item you just deleted.
4. Click the “Get” button to re-download the episode in question.

Thanks to “plutopup65″ for the tip.

Exciting news this week for Internet movies (photo above). First, Netflix has released a $99 box that lets you watch their titles on your TV. You get instant access to 10,000 of their nearly 100,000 titles — mostly older titles and TV shows.

Even more exciting: The Blockbuster Museum is now open! It sounds better than historic Williamsburg. Onion TV has the scoop:

Hillary should stay in the race until the elections are over on June 3. It’s just two weeks from tomorrow.

Speaking as someone who declared support for Obama when he first got in the race, I’m fine with Clinton staying in through the final primary. She’s been campaigning for some two years. How is another two weeks going to matter?Let her enjoy her victory in Puerto Rico and then exit gracefully.

Yes, we all can see that Obama is several comfortable strides ahead of her — he’s ahead in pledged delegates, superdelegates, states won, and the popular vote. But only a quitter drops out when the finish line is in sight.

People who call for her to drop out keep saying that she’s dividing the party. Do you know what’s dividing the party? Calling for her to drop out in the final lap.

So cut it out, will ya?

When Barack Obama takes to stage to give his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on August 28, it will be the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

I watched a few dozen 30-second ads from MoveOn.org’s “Obama in 30 Seconds” campaign — a small sample of the over 1,000 entries. It was amazing how many submissions did a variation of people looking into the camera and saying “I am change” or “I am hope” or some variation on this script. Some were effective, but none were my favorites.

MoveOn is announcing their finalists tomorrow. Here are five that caught my eye:

• Vote Hope: A hip ad with Juno-styled credits.
• Ask Me About My President: A time-lapse of a Republican bumper over the past 8 years
• It’s Time to Listen: A few troops speak out. The ad format isn’t highly original but I like hearing from troops themselves
• Unity: Clever animation with a positive message.

Finally, this one — while void of any real substance whatsoever — has really affecting music and images. Goose bump material:

In wake of last week’s horribly-moderated debate by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, August nicely recaps their absurdities.
