On this day in 1888, according to the Madras Mail, pieces of bricks fell into a Pondicherry (India) classroom in the presence of many investigators. One brick marked with a white cross was placed in the centre of the room; a similar-sized brick, marked with a black cross, dropped out of the air onto the first brick. In reference to such appearances in closed rooms, Charles Fort said: 'Oh, yes, I have heard of 'the fourth dimension,' but I am going to do myself some credit by not lugging in that particular way of showing that I don't know what I am writing about.'

And of course, a few words about John McCain's conservative credentials, from one Dan of Portland Maine:

-IMMIGRATION: he wrote the bill granting amnesty to illegal immigrants (co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy).
-TAXES: he voted against the Bush tax cuts multiple times, but now campaigns as a lifelong tax-cutter.
-ENERGY TAX: wrote a bill (co-sponsored by democrat Joe Lieberman) imposing a massive tax on energy which, according to the Department of Energy, would drastically raise the price of gasoline and put 300,000 Americans out of work.
-ECONOMY: as recently as December 2007 he admitted he "does not know the economy very well" and needed to get better at it.
-1st AMENDMENT: he wrote the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that was declared to be an unconstitutional infringement of the 1st Amendment (co-sponsored by progressive Democrat Russ Feingold).
-2nd AMENDMENT: he was called the "worst 2nd amendment candidate" by the president of the NRA.
-CHRISTIANS: campaigning in 2000, he famously described Christian leaders as "agents of intolerance."
-PROFESSIONAL ETHICS: ringleader of the infamous Keating 5 in the Savings and Loans scandal, which cost US tax payers $160 billion. We're still paying off their stupid game.
-PERSONAL ETHICS: McCain cheated on his first wife after she had a severe accident that left her partially disabled. He then divorced her and moved to Arizona to marry his multi-millionaire mistress, whose daddy bought McCain a spot in Congress.
