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.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And... Matilda just had a Gabba Gabba sobbing fit and I'm still feeling just too sick and weary to deal with it, so no more debate.
No. Wait. I should check CNN or PBS online. Derr.
