To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think they both overdid the teeth whitening a little...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How does McCain know how to win a war?

Hello? He's a HERO.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Palin isn't generating any Katie Couric moments, but the audience reaction doesn't seem to be buying into her. I don't see this as a game-changer. It may halt some of the slide away from McCain - Palin at least achieved coherence - but it's not going to win people back for him.

"Trust us. John will win this war for us. He's the daddy and I'm the mommy. Just trust us."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Wars Since McCain was 18:

Vietnam. Desert Storm. Iraq. Drugs.

We only won one of those.

STOP WINKING.

Do not go to the former Yugo. It's more complex than talking points. And not hundreds of years. Legacies of crusades and empires and invasions and local politics and tribes and calculated rivalries invoked. Of course, only me and the five others who've studied it really care.

(I once dreamed- while writing multiple papers on the topic- that the "enter" key on my keyboard was "fmr" so I could type faster.)
