McCain Vs. McCain

SONG OF MYSELF The McCains • Check yo'self, Mac: Newsweek's Michael Isikoff unearths the source of the hole in John McCain's broad denial of the allegations in this week's New York Times story about the candidate's cozy relationship to a lobbyist: John McCain.

• Unrecommended reading: SMU will be housing President Bush's presidential library, which is to include empty bookcases, his fraternity-era beerbong, and a lone copy of My Pet Goat.

• Clink couture: A store in Berlin called Haeftling (or Prisoner) sells T-shirts, hoodies, and jackets made by Texas inmates. The items are said to be made with unique fabrics (human hair?) and feature hidden pockets galore.

• Balanced news: A beacon for unbiased news fans everywhere, Fox News has "conducted a survey" where those polled say that nefarious baddie Osama bin Laden would most likely vote for Barack Obama—and not just because their names rhyme.

• Auditioning?: Perhaps in homage to Hugh Jackman's role in the upcoming, superfluous X-Men sequel, an Orlando, Florida, man is charged with attacking a police officer with knives taped to his hands.

• Figure for wrestling: Ken Kesey would have never written One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest, done LSD, or the whole Merry Pranksters thing without wrestling. So when his high school alma matter tried to cut the wrestling program, Kesey's son Zane found it high time to get back on the bus and protest! (A freakout convoy through Eugene, Oregon, ensued).
