Also, Palin seemed WAY too proud of being able to pronounce "Ahmadinejad." Maybe Alex Trebek coached her.
And -- if you can prounounce "Ahmadinejad", WHY IN THE HOLY HELL CAN'T YOU PRONOUNCE "NUCLEAR"????
I bet she says "puh-sketti," too.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
but our economy is shit and a bunch of Americans DID do it.
I totally agree. But remember that in this debate she was prepped to talk to Joe Six-Pack and Mrs. Hockey Mom who want to hear, "You didn't do it and we won't let the big bad money people come after you again like those two over there will. We'll fix it, we promise. We're Mavericks." *wink*

HA! Yeah, it looked like she was looking for any opportunity to show that off. Also, they probably drilled it into her but forgot about Nucular. Or maybe they thought if the Prez says it, it's good?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So the money managers and money lenders and greedy Wall Streeters aren't part of the American public?
Obviously. What are you, nuts? It's Wall Street VERSUS Main Street!

Oh god. The nuc-u-lar thing drives me up a tree faster than just about anything else.
And people who call my dog Barn-alby. I get that there are only two common references to the name Bartleby in the vernacular but DUDE, you've heard ME pronounce it about 4,000 times. Catch up.
Ahem. I suspect I'm in a mood.
I didn't listen to the debate and am despondent to read all the 'she did better than expected' headlines. That is not what I wanted to hear.

God, how much do I want to go to Eastern Standard and drink nummy classic cocktails.

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
She WINKS.
Dude.

It's just like how actors aren't real people.

Bonny, all that means is "We thought she'd speak in tongues, but she didn't." Seriously. The only bar set for her was "Don't fuck up too badly."
She's a total huckster -- if you keep talking and grin and wink, you can say literally ANYTHING, and it'll come off like you're the world's greatest orator.

Am listening to the 1776 soundtrack this morning.
