John McCain is Still Alive!

Noting that the media spotlight has been shining on his 'big mistake', John McCain has resurfaced.
Not to be out done, he's taken the same tact as his presidential campaign running mate has...e.g. finger pointing and bottom feeding by calling on CIA director Leon Panetta to retract his statements about Dick Cheney wherein Panetta apparently remarked that the former VP "almost wishes" for another terror attack on U.S. soil simply to prove his point that President Barack Obama is pursuing a dangerous national security agenda.

Coney Island Waterboarding Sideshow

Artist Steve Powers has created a Guantanamo Bay waterboarding exhibition at Coney Island -- for a buck, you can watch an animatronic torture reenactment.
If you climb up a few cinderblock steps to the small window, you can look through the bars at a scene meant to invoke a Guantánamo Bay interrogation. A lifesize figure in a dark sweatshirt, the hood drawn low over his face, leans over another figure in an orange jumpsuit, his face covered by a towel and his body strapped down on a tilted surface.
Feed a dollar into a slot, the lights go on, and Black Hood pours water up Orange Jumpsuit’s nose and mouth while Orange Jumpsuit convulses against his restraints for 15 seconds. O.K., kids, who wants more cotton candy!
