9 Articles about John McCain
Here are 9 Articles about John McCain:
1--John McCain Votes to Filibuster Minimum Wage Hike
AOL News is highly ranked on John McCain, and the minimum wage increase was incredibly popular.
2--McCain housing policy shaped by lobbyist
This article emphasizes how corporate special interests have formed McCain's economic policy. If it becomes the top ranked MSNBC article, it will appear in the top ten searches for McCain nationwide.
3--Bush, McCain plug Social Security
Seniors are going to be the key swing vote in this election, and they hate Bush's plan to privatize Social Security. This is the best polling message against McCain of all, which isn't surprising since our victory on Social Security is how began to turn the tide against Republicans and conservatives three years ago. The headline alone ties McCain to Bush, and this article already ranks very high on searches for McCain Social Security.
4--McCain blasts Obama's and Clinton's attacks on NAFTA
This is a great article because it not only ties McCain to NAFTA, which is quite unpopular, but it also draws a contrast between McCain and Democrats on the issue. The LA Times is also in the top twenty searches for John McCain.
5--McCain in NH: Would Be "Fine" To Keep Troops in Iraq for "A Hundred Years"
McCain's "100 years" statement ha damaged him already, and this article has already been significantly optimized on Google. While Mother Jones is not an ideal news source, it is the top article for this quote, and appears in the top thirty searches for John McCain already.
6--McCain: Bush right to veto kids health insurance expansion
This is my personal favorite. The headline just makes McCain look like an asshole, and ties him to Bush. Who is opposed to health insurance for kids? CNN also is in the top ten searches for McCain and John McCain A lot of people will see this one.
7--Senate passes expanded GI bill despite Bush, McCain opposition
While I am not thrilled about using Salon, since it isn't as well known, and since there is an advertising wall that hides the story, the title is damaging enough. McCain's opposition to the GI Bill really hurts him, and tying him to Bush is just as bad. This title does both in a clear, straightforward manner.
8--McCain says overturn the law that legalized abortion
Pretty straightforward, and extremely important. More than half of all women voters think that McCain is pro-choice. This will quickly change their minds.
9--McCain Defends Bush's Iraq Strategy
The classic McCain SEO, that still appears in top thirty searches for McCain and John McCain. It is also proof positive that this campaign will work, because it appears as the second CBS news article, but still on the front page in Google searches just below the CBS election center information on John McCain. That is all we need to do to get it on the front page of searches about McCain--optimize it against other CBS articles. Also, even though this SEO campaign was abandoned fifteen months ago, it still ranks in the top forty in McCain searches. If a fifteen month old campaign is still that effective, imagine what we can do with enough participation in this campaign.

Shitty headline of the week
"McCain rejects Hagee endorsement"
I do believe that should read:
"Months after aggressively courting his endorsement, John McCain noticed that it was no longer a political winner for him, so he flip flopped and now condemns Hagee."

Helicopter Kills Pedestrian. Blame: iPod
OK... so, a helicopter crashes and kills a guy on the ground as he was walking to his mailbox... what do you think the focus of news story will be? The fact that he was wearing headphones of course.
Death spurs headphone debate
VANCOUVER -- The death of a pedestrian in Cranbrook, B.C., on Tuesday has raised the question of how loud is too loud when it comes to listening to iPods and other personal music players.
Isaiah Otieno, a 23-year-old student, was killed when he was struck and dragged by a helicopter that crashed to the ground as he was walking to the mailbox.

Beer, Spilled. A One Act Tragedy.
Place: Oakland, CA
Time: 9pm
Me: Sitting and minding my own business
Glass of beer: Doing the same.
**TING**
Me: "What the hell was that?"
Me: Looks around the room, reflexively trying to see what the cat's knocked over and broke
Cats: Stare back sleepily, innocently doing nothing
Me: "Hmm... guess it was nothing"
Me: Reaches for beer, lifts up glass and PHOOOOSH! Beer spills out from the perfectly clean 360 degree break at the bottom of the glass. A sudden rush of sticky doom runs all over the table, inches from my new laptop and camera...
Me: "W.T.F."
Ikea: "Yep, our glassware spontaneously explodes. But hey, it cost 2 cents a glass..."

How I imagine furry parties, except with robots.
I like how all the furries, I mean "real transformers" all are just milling around watching each other "transform".

"Italian"
I love how in all American chain sandwich shops, the kind that are on every corner here in SOMA, "Italian" means "fuckloads of random meat + mild peppers"... salami, turkey, roast beef, bologna, pepperoni, ham... all mashed into a giant log of unidentifiable animal protein. yum.
