Unbelievable, but hilarious
Via DailyKos.com, this story and video:
After the [vice presidential] debate started ... volunteers [were] swarming out of the McCain staff room. These volunteers all wore orange hats and they ran around the media center distributing blue sheets of paper with opposition research on it. Well, usually that's what they had:

For Vitaly
One-stop shopping for my friend Vitaly!
It's interesting to see these clips all together, just to compare the changes in her confidence and bravado.

Sarah Palin poetry
"On Good and Evil"
It is obvious to me
Who the good guys are in this one
And who the bad guys are.
The bad guys are the ones
Who say Israel is a stinking corpse,
And should be wiped off
The face of the earth.
That's not a good guy.

Outrageous
Here's one rape survivor's response.
Update: Sarah Palin had Wasilla buy $24000 SUV for her (while mayor) AT THE SAME TIME her government was charging victims for their own rape kits!

The cost of the war
Excellent video that quickly and clearly lays out the direct and indirect costs of the war to the United States.

Comparing Palin to other U.S. VPs
If this is beating a dead horse (because NO ONE truly believes that Palin is fit to be vice-president of the United States), please forgive me. This video does an awesome job of comparing her experience to all other American veeps - in 12 minutes. Pretty interesting.
I like this sentence: "I reject this simplicitude." But I am a geek.

Back to Bloggerland
Hey folks! Sorry for the extended absence. I was visiting my family last weekend, and I've been fighting a nasty cold ever since (like many of my relatives, apparently ... I guess we like to share!).
Anyway, not much has been going on here the last few days (other than mouth-breathing and feeling clammy), but hooo boy American politics has been INSANE!
The first thing you absolutely MUST do is watch this portion of Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric. Seriously. WATCH IT. WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!!!
This woman makes George Bush look like a member of Mensa. Quite frankly I did not know that that was even possible. And for the life of me, I can't imagine how Couric kept a straight face.
So here's last night's Saturday Night Live skit about this interview:
If a lot of the skit sounds familiar, it's probably because the SNL writers figured that they couldn't make it any more ridiculously funny than the original.
I have lots more thoughts/links to share, but it's been almost a week since I've gone grocery shopping, and I'm starting to worry about the scurvy. Later!

Froth Moonshine Palin
... might be my name if I had happened to be born to VP-wannabe Sarah Palin.
Everyone knows she's had some interesting names for her kids, right? First there was Track, then Bristol, Willow, Piper, and Trig. So now someone's invented a baby name generator so you too can "discover" your Palin name.
Enjoy.
