I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

But it won't matter, will it?

He'll be viewed as progressive for choosing a woman.

A woman for the PUMAs and a sop to the Conservatives who have been threatening McCain for not being anti-abortion enough. It's a clever choice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Exactly. He appeases the wingnuts and the PUMAs. Ugh.

The vice-presentidential debate will be fun. She's a first term Governor from a corrupt state and Biden has oodles of experience.

Our wings are not tired.

Well, Lloyd Bentsen wiped the floor with the little Quayle man, but little Quayle man's running mate still won.

She may have a vagina, but she doesn't represent me.

It also knocks the "experience" question right off the table, so that could work well for Obama. McCain's 72 and has battled cancer. Is a first-term Gov ready to serve as President?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sarah and Todd Palin have five children: boys Track, 19, and Trig, 4 months, and daughters Bristol, 17, Willow, 13, and Piper, 7.

Sounds like a really good choice from a strategic standpoint.

Seriously? I know I'm not the target audience (that is, I have some sense) but it feels like pandering to me.

Well Tom, I think Gillian Anderson's daughter is named Piper...

Every time they showed Joe Biden last night I had to do the STEVE HOLT cheer from Arrested Development. JOE BIDEN!

The girls' names are much better than the boys', at least. It says little about her qualifications for the office, though.
