She skins her own enemies!

Send her to Afghanistan - she'll come back wearing Bin Laden's ribcage as a hat.

I've just decided to be optimistic that Obama is going to win. If he loses I'll be brokenhearted regardless of whether or not I thought he was going to win. It's not going to change my vote AT ALL if I think McCain has a chance. So, I choose to be optimistic.

This is Emmett's approach. "I've just got a feeling he's going to win," he says with (almost) 12 y.o. certainty.

It must be noted to his credit though that he approached every game during the all-star run the same way. "I've got a good feeling about this game. I think we're going to win." Which turned out to be true.

Trust in Emmett and lisah's optimism!

I've got McCain's speech on right now (what? I'm off work and thought the noon news was on), and I'm chagrined to think that Palin is a hottie. She's SO the type I always go for.

Really? She looks like she doesn't have two brain cells to rub together to me. Kind of vacant and stupid, like a head of cattle.

I like this approach! I use it for shows too. THIS SHOW IS GOING TO ROCK!!!! and, frankly, some are better than others but in 5 years I don't think we've had one show that didn't rock.

Nah, I just meant physically. Dark hair, dark eyes, glasses. I think the first, in college, was Natalie Merchant.

Palin does look stupid, but if I'm going to objectify her pulchritude, I don't need to know if she's smart. (Plus, it's fun to crush on someone who is so violently anti-gay. Ha! I'm a woman and I think you're hot AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!! ....okay, that's not the best anti-McCain strategy, but give me a break; I've only been awake for an hour.)

I'm curious why anyone thinks "I was for Hillary. There are some Hillary supporters so bitter they will vote for McCain. Ergo, I will vote for McCain (or stay home on election day)." Wishful Repub thinking? Because my reaction, unless I was one of the allegedly bitter, would be to make sure I got out to vote for Obama.

I was watching the speech and gchatted to Bob Bob that McCain had chosen Tina Fey as his running mate. He thought I was joking, then he clicked to CNN.com. For a second he realized that what I had said was true. His head almost exploded when he saw the picture, until he looked at the headline.

So yeah, I get that she's pretty cute, though she seems really uncharismatic. Hate that voice.

like a head of cattle.

Snerk. Just the head. Not the rest of a cow.

I was just thinking that!
