...Solana Beach is neither a beach nor, for the most part, a typical Southern California tourist destination. Rather, it is a laid-back slouch of a city about 20 miles north of San Diego. But it does have beaches, and on Sunday, around lunchtime, several unfamiliar vehicles pulled into the parking lot of the city's main waterfront area, Fletcher Cove Park...
That's one reason local officials' response to Martin's death was so transparently silly. For 72 hours, they banned ocean swimming along a 13-mile swath from South Carlsbad State Beach to Torrey Pines State Beach. That's like a ban on leaving your home after a thunderstorm. Actually, statistically speaking the latter ban would make more sense: Your chances of dying after being struck by lightning are 1 in 3 million, about 93 times more likely than dying after an altercation with a shark...

Nonetheless, many consider McCain a hawk and fear his experiences as an American POW in the Vietnam War may hardwire him for hostility towards revolutionary governments. All Iranians seem aware of McCain's "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" Beach Boys imitation, and many take it as an indication of his inclinations. Yet many anti-regime Iranians are praying - albeit quietly - for a McCain victory. Some Iranians believe that Ahmadinejad also favors McCain, in the belief that continued confrontation with the U.S. - as long as it stops short...
