Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Too over the top for me.

“Not dead yet!”

(Notice how they can't seem to plan a pregnancy? What is UP with that?)

Apparently, according to the blurb on Pop Tarts, Jamie-Lynn assumed she couldn't get preggers while breastfeeding the wee one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh, Sue. Why are people so people-like sometimes?

That's how I got here!

I know! I was already feeling under the gun, now I am PO'd too!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is a pretty common assumption. But doesn't everyone know siblings less than (or close to) a year apart?? I don't get why people still assume it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. The racists are undecided....

An Obama supporter, who canvassed for the candidate in the working-class, white Philadelphia neighborhood of Fishtown recently, sends over an account that, in various forms, I've heard a lot in recent weeks.

"What's crazy is this," he writes. "I was blown away by the outright racism, but these folks are f***ing undecided. They would call him a n----r and mention how they don't know what to do because of the economy."

A disturbing thought about "That One". Is it possible McCain used the term because he could not remember Senator Obama's name? His instinct when covering up memory loss or confusion seems to be nastiness - that way everyone focuses on "Mean McCain" rather than "Confused McCain". I mean right at the beginning when Brokaw asked McCain who he'd name for Treasury, I'm pretty sure that was the point of the unfunny "Not You" joke. He needed a few seconds to think of an answer, so he insulted Brokaw to buy time.

Also on the economy question, after addressing Oliver by name, about 90 seconds into the rambling answer, McCain referred to Oliver as "Alan". So I think this is real evidence of memory problems.

I'm not as worried about the memory problem as the habit of using aggression to cover up. I think covering for a misunderstanding is how we ended with it now being official McCain policy that Spain is an "adversary".

Coding and Sleeping

With that last question about what you don't know, I immediately thought McCain could answer "How many houses I own."

If McCain were my elderly relative, I would be very very worried for him and be on the horn to the other relatives trying to call a family conference to make sure he gets a clean bill of health from a doctor we trust.
