What's the "Biden is a Misogynist" thing? Did he call his wife a cunt?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Apparently they ordered her from central casting (Wikipedia):
Her husband, Todd, is a Native Yup'ik Eskimo. Outside the fishing season, Todd works for BP at an oil field on Alaska's North Slope and is a champion snowmobiler, winning the 2000-mile "Iron Dog" race four times. The two eloped shortly after Palin graduated college; when they learned they needed witnesses for the civil ceremony, they recruited two residents from the old-age home down the street.
She briefly worked as a sports reporter for local Anchorage television stations while also working as a commercial fisherman with her husband, Todd, her high school sweetheart.
On September 11, 2007, the Palins' eighteen-year-old son Track, eldest of five, joined the Army. He now serves in an infantry brigade and will be deployed to Iraq in September 2008. She also has three daughters: Bristol, 17; Willow, 13; and Piper, 7. On April 18, 2008, Palin gave birth to her second son, Trig Paxson Van Palin, who has Down syndrome. She returned to the office three days after giving birth. Palin refused to let the results of prenatal genetic testing change her decision to have the baby. "I'm looking at him right now, and I see perfection," Palin said. "Yeah, he has an extra chromosome. I keep thinking, in our world, what is normal and what is perfect?"

I think it's just anticipating the Republican spin when Biden debates her.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And on the PUMA thing, I really think it has been blown out of proportion by the media and McCain's campaign. I mean really how many Democratic women are going to vote for McCain because they are pissy Clinton didn't get nominated, not very many at all I don't think.
Most of the polls I've seen have shown Obama with some ridiculous advantage among women, consistently hovering around 20 points ahead of McCain. So, yeah, I'm fairly skeptical of the actual size or impact of PUMAPAC.
Shakesville also reported on an ABC article about PUMAPAC that discussed the whole "movement" seriously and uncritically but mentioned, almost parenthetically, that one of the founders and biggest talkers is a lifelong Republican who'd given something like 20K to the R's this election cycle and then gave Hillary 2K after Super Tuesday. So, not exactly the scorned and bitter long-time Dem the article portrayed her as.

Her views on this don't seem to extend to gay people.

That's a lifestyle choice.

He's going to be arguing with a woman on national TV, and (I presume) wiping the floor with her. Rather than admit their candidate is a millionare wingnut with no experience, I predict that the GOP will play up the fact that she's a woman and Joe Biden is a big mean meanieface for disagreeing with her..

What if someone has Downs Syndrome AND is gay?

JZ, do you have a link for that? Sounds like great material for my friend's McCain comic.
