Highlights from The Harper's Weekly:

• At a town hall meeting in Iowa, a Baptist minister asked John McCain if he had called his wife, Cindy, "a cunt" in 1992. McCain did not answer. (and the video)

• After Hillary Clinton proposed that she and Barack Obama compete in a Lincoln-Douglas-style debate, Fox News broadcast an image of Abraham Lincoln facing off against ex-slave Frederick Douglass instead of 1860 Democratic presidential nominee Stephen A. Douglas. Idiots.

• Albert Hofmann, the man credited with making life a little groovier by inventing LSD, has died.
