Which Palin is funnier? Ask John Cleese.

Extraordinary not ordinary

I want my president and vice-president to be extraordinary people, not ordinary people. I want them to be critical thinkers, highly intelligent, serious, and thoughtful. They should know what the hell their doing and realize that every decision they make affects billions of people around the world. We are not only electing the President of the United States, but also a very powerful world leader.

I think you know where I'm going with this. McCain-Palin supporters harp on the fact that Palin is an outsider and a maverick that so closely relates to the middle class. She's folksy and easy to understand, they say. You know what, don't talk to down to me. I'm not an idiot, and there are millions of people out there who are not idiots.

Give me substance. Give me real answers. Give me intelligent and well-thought answers. I don't want more attacks or whining about the "liberal media". Get over it! Don't blame the media for pointing out that you can't answer a damn question.

Here come the Russians!

The last note tonight about Republicans

I never thought I would actually post a link on comments from a Republican, but Mike Murphy, a Republican political consultant, has some interesting reservations about Sarah Palin. He is also now infamously known for being a two-face. Yesterday, he made some unsupportive open-mic comments about Palin.

College Graduate

You have to give Sarah Palin points for not giving up on her education.

What's in a Name?

I saw this gaffe on live TV and laughed so hard. Get the name right for your own candidate, not the one you probably wished was on the ticket, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty.

The Two Faces of Fox News Pundits

I love it when Jon Stewart catches pundits and politicians (on either side) in hypocrisy.

Is Palin our Thatcher?

Some Brits seem to think that's the case, and I don't think it's a compliment. Check out Justin Webb's post. Even Palin's supports think the same, based on this site called Palin for VP, or from the Times of London.
