More important, why does Cokie Roberts hate American families and senior citizens?
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Nothing says unamerican like visiting your grandmother.
Well, she isn't even an American. *I* heard she's actually a C.H.U.D. Do we want a president who would visit his non-American C.H.U.D. grandmother in some foreign country like Hawaii?!?
It really is the apocalypse, isn't it?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I will so be back because the hospitality of the bayistas is incredible!
YAY! And it's because you RAWK!
My apologies to Loehmann's.
Perhaps I should go there and apologize for you in person.

At least 38 Venezuelans have died as a result of a suspected outbreak of rabies spread by bites from vampire bats.
And suddenly I'm concerned about Allyson's bat.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Mind you, it's one of vanishingly few things Bush has done that I actually think is nice and genuinely patriotic rather than jingoistic or malevolent.
Except that he looked bored out of his mind. If I thought he had any leadership skills, I would suggest that the Russia/Georgia problem might need his attention a bit more than Women's Gymnastics.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Oh, and now the McCain campaign and the RNC are saying that Obama's private school (that he attended on a scholarship) is evidence of his elitist background.
Team McCain and the RNC issued reporters a mock "Barack Obama's Hawaii Travel Guide," which lambasts Obama for attending the Punahou School from 1971 to 1979. Despite the fact that Obama, who was raised by a single mother and attended the school on scholarship, the McCain campaign depicted him as the child of privilege.
Of course, McCain's own prep school, which now runs $38K a year to attend, doesn't mean that he is elitist, no siree bob!
"While John McCain went to private school, he also went to public university," said [campaign spokesman] Bounds. "The Naval Academy is as public as public gets," he added, noting that a four-year military commitment is required following school.
His father being an admiral had nothing to do with his getting into that "public" university, apparently.

Or say, Bush, who not only went to Yale and Harvard, but also Phillips Academy Andover, which, as discussed previously, is one of the Select Sixteen. Apart from choosing Andover over Phillips Academy Exeter, it doesn't get more elitist than that.
