...between McCain's brand of lying and Obama's, with the former's ranging anywhere from the "annoying to the sleazy." And Klein could think of only one instance when Obama crossed the line (though never calling it a lie), whereas McCain has turned it into an art form. Absent from the list of Obama's "lies" is his declaration that McCain actually is O.K. with the war in Iraq continuing for 100 years if need be. That pronouncement far exceeds any exaggerations from the McCain camp. The media's love affair with Obama is well documented. Nevertheless, TIME magazine...

Meanwhile, speculation continues over the health of leader Kim Jong-Il, still absent from public events...
Outside groups spent more than $550 million on the presidential election in 2004, a total that could be eclipsed this time around, though the money has become even harder to track. That's because many of the donors funding guerrilla campaigns absent any coordination with the candidates have opted to avoid so-called 527 groups, which require full disclosure of donors. Instead, they are using more established nonprofits, like 501(c)(4)s, to find loopholes in the law.
