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.
Silly but interesting fact: a local bakery in town has always done a "cookie poll" for the presidential election, with big-ass cookies that have the candidates' faces on them. The bakery keeps a tally of how many of each are bought, and the weird thing is that every election, the cookie poll is really close to the actual election results.
This year? Obama is WAY out in front. (Video clip [preceded by a commercial for Puffs]: [link]
I gotta go get me an Obama cookie.
and see, I'd be really tempted to get a Palin just to bite her head off.

Right? Or step on her.

Go to the zoo and feed her to a wolf. Or a polar bear.

There's a bakery in NYC that's doing that with their black & white cookies, but since we're not exactly a swing state here I wouldn't put too much stock in the results.
It amuses me no end that both the Palin and Obama cookies have their names on them while the Biden and McCain cookies just have their pictures. I doubt there's anyone buying these cookies who doesn't know what all 4 candidates look like, but wouldn't it makes more sense to put name labels on the two old white guys?
From a friend:
Ok. Apparently I wasn't the only one that thought McCain was incredibly condescending when he told the black guy (THAT ASKED THE FUCKING QUESTION) that he probably never heard of Fannie May or Freddie Mac before.
The guy talks about it:[link]
The guy talks about it:
I saw that. Someone on Kos pointed out that the questioner has more education than Palin... and then someone else pointed out that he has more than Palin and McCain combined. So much for "you've probably never heard of these things..."
So interesting! And confirms my supposition about the disposable cameras... I think it's wild that the people didn't know who was asking the questions until it happened.
Have you seen Sad Guys On Trading Floors?
Heh. There needs to be a LOLTradingGuys site....

I know! It was funny he didn't believe Tom Brokaw when he said he'd ask the 2nd question. Hah!
Okay, what am I getting for lunch today??? Keeping in mind that I'm doing a 1/2 marathon tomorrow.
