I prefer to think of it as the McPalin Administration... you know - brash, colorful, totally devoid of any substance and run by corporates. Oh and it's basically composed of old meat and bits of gristle from the extremities (which may or may not be moose)

"Become What You Are" was like the soundtrack to my teenage years.

I bought "Hey Babe" in the summer of 1992 and it got stolen, along with the friend's boom box it was in, about a month later. I didn't replace it for a while and when I did I realized it would forever put me right back in that melancholy confused long-distance relationship with old friend month. It IS July 1992. It's still a little hard to listen to "The Lights" without getting completely bummed out.

I liked a story I read somewhere today that the economy "heroically fell" yesterday in order to force a change to the current news focus. Thanks for takin a shot for the team, economy!

(seriously, I do feel a bit "alRIGHT, we can finally get to some 1991-style meat in this damn campaign)

I wear glasses. I believe in guns. [I believe specifically in the right for my father to own shotguns, and to use them responsibly. I believe in his right to hunt during hunting season. I believe in his right to feed me delicious venison stew after hunting season.]

That's where the similarities between me and Sarah Palin end.

I shudder to think that the country-next-door might be run by a woman who doesn't believe in women's rights.

In fact, it scares me almost as much as the idea that Stephen Harper is likely to win a majority in our election. The prevailing wisdom around here is that it's A-OK for Harper to neglect the environment because, aw shucks, we're just a little teensy nation and what we do won't ever matter because the BIG GUYS like China and India will produce more pollution than us.

WTF?

That pic of McCain is really disturbing.

You know what helped me feel better about this upcoming election? The news (at least NPR) finally reported on Biden, who was swinging for the fences. McCain proved once again he has no idea how this economy thingie works, and the media reported it, and Obama's campaign jumped right on it. Watching Keith Olbermann last night. And during a commercial, watching the Tina Fey-Amy Pohler SNL clip. Some of my faith in humanity has been restored.

Now, if the media would just stop talking about that Palin woman, that would help A LOT.

Jay--I know. How weird is it that the economy tanking gives me some hope?

So you've seen Idiocracy?

pasadenamike, it's a giant douche or a turd sandwich.

Well, my job here is done. Time to go back to those Megan Fox pictures.

I find Chuck E Cheese to be sufficiently frightening without the apocalyptic graphics.

It does make me consider the end of the last episode of BSG a little differently. I mean, the Algae Planet went supernova, sooo.. No more or I will be a spoiler for the DVD release crowd.

dave, your 100% correct, it is a giant douche.The giant turd out there has the big ears, with some corn stuck here and there.yeah i said it!

My only question is will Obama bring change to Chucky e Cheese, so that it will be a place that all children can learn to be obnoxious, not just snot nosed whitey's in suburbia, but also inner city punks, and rural hooligans as well?
Will it accept education vouchers towards admission? Free transportation to and from the location? Black and grey Chucky's for children of different colors?
Change America, for the better of mankind, and for Ski-Ball!

oh, Stacy, how I love you!

That CuteOverload post completely made me forget about McPalin, the shitty weather I'm getting, the cramps, the headache, the state of the world.

Just a moment of pure unadulterated joy and squeaage.

THANK YOU.
