[...] soaked up. But I did want to respond to something from over in yesterday’s open thread, where Jake wrote, I mean this in all seriousness, since I was seven when Dukakis coughed up a 30 point lead. Is this [...]

Here’s an article that might soothe those of you who are getting squeezed by the daily news madness. Looks like what to do is to volunteer.

Just watched Charlie-on-Sarah #2.

Looks to me like Charlie’s balls froze off in the cold.

On the importance of foreign policy knowledge and experience of presidential ‘teams’, I do feel it pertinent to add that Bush’s 2000 mob (esp. Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove) came in with the most experienced and (in theory, at least) knowledgeable crew for many, many years.

Um, has anybody got any links to something cheerful, preferably with serious belly laugh potential? I haven’t gotten out much today. Thanks.

I love the smell of hypocrisy in the afternoon.

Yeah, everyone in the library is already firmly in the Obama camp. But I’ll find out this weekend what my mother and brother think of it. They’re the kind of voters I’m most concerned about in this election: they consider themselves Independents. They supported Hillary and think Obama “stole” the nomination. They don’t want to admit it, but I know that they would have a hard time voting for a black man. They say they’re just not going to vote, that they won’t vote for McCain, but I’m not so sure. I’m doing my best to make subtle suggestions to sway them. No vote at all is better than a vote for McCain.

It’s all about the swing voters, y’all.

Maybe you should donate your car to the McCain campaign. It could follow the straight talk express around and pick up the bullshit it leaves behind.
