The BBC interviews New Yorker writer Seymour Hersh: It wasn't long ago when Bill Kristol floated the idea that if Barack Obama wins in November, the Bush administration will launch an attack on Iran. Now, liberal New Yorker lion Sy Hersh says the same.

We don't have any troops! Adm. Mike Mullen says there's not going to be a surge in Afghanistan until there's a purge in Iraq: This is going to finally get Bush to sign that bill legalizing "soldier cloning."

The latest ad from a religious group might surprise you: While watching this ad, we kept waiting to be beaten over the head with hate-filled, right-wing religious propaganda.

Wolff's reasoning, that the conservative era is dying, isn't quite accurate. It's more like: People are driving less, and terrestrial radio stations are on their way out. And really, in 10 years will people really give a hoot about what's said by the rotund douchebag? (Besides those living in Idaho, we mean.)

"Talking Points Memo" has uncovered footage of GOP Senate candidate Norm Coleman (who may or may not have green screened his wife into a campaign ad) reciting bogus information about a Chinese/Cuban grab for offshore American oil: Pols, don't you understand the power of the Youtubes? Don't lie unless you're off camera.

On "Countdown with Keith Olbermann", guest-host Rachel Maddow discusses Republican senator Thad Cochran's statement on John McCain's behavior in Nicaragua: Not sure why McCain thinks this is a problem.

A monkey plays an Obama-like character in a Japanese cellphone commercial: You can say the Japanese are unaware of how racist this is, but they know what they're doing. Look, your grampa was right, those Japs are sneaky.

Just in time for the 4th, our favorite Keith Olbermann fan has come out with this summer's official Obama Jam, "Crank Dat": Beats the hell out of that Obama Girl crap, but then again we hate R&B.
