I know that that many of us grew up without attention spans and are preoccupied with the triumph of the global Jewish conspiracy financial crisis, so I thought we should have a rundown of some of the other news no one is paying attention to:

Americablog just posted photos, then a slow motion video (below) showing McCain at a speech this morning. During the speech he had two weird facial twitches, then got lost on stage. A mini-stroke?
