Oy

Need a boost?  Watch this short clip of stand-up jokes by McCain and feel better about Dem chances.

He's not the alcohol-damage case Bush is, but man does it confirm the "old guy" narrative.

I feel sorry for him, I can't help it.

Excellent

Fine protest by Yale Law students at a talk by Arthur Bybee, one of the torture memo tough guys.

About two dozen students stood and put black bags over their heads, like Guantanimo detainees.  Others clapped.

“If you’re blocking other people from seeing, you have to leave,” Li said Gustafson told the protesters.

Gustafson paused, then said, “You are blocking people. You have to leave.”

The protestors removed the bags and laid them at the foot of the lectern as they walked out.

Bybee then went on the speak for about 30 minutes.

Li said he was involved in a similar protest when Bybee spoke at Harvard Law School in 2006.

I hope he's shamed in this manner for the rest of his life.
