Sorry for the rantiness.
Overall, the American people and the media aren't ranting enough.

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

I should point out that Slate's resident conservabot is citing the extreme right-wing wacko who runs the Confederate Yankee blog to argue that Palin never charged victims for rape kits. The left-wing blog Sadly, No has already poked big holes in his argument, and yet there it is up on Slate.

This is the most surreal presidential election ever.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Oh Jesus Christ, I just snorted very hot tea up my nose.
Well, it's one way to clear the sinuses.

McCain does not look well -- there's something wrong with one of his eyes, it looks like to me.
Given the verbal confusion he's been exhibiting lately, I'd really feel better if he had some sort of doctor's examination, because I'm seriously worried about TIAs.

Of McCain's latest stunt, Barney Frank said:
"It's the longest Hail Mary pass in the history of either football or Marys."
Sullivan commented:
Actually that was Palin. But this is pretty wild. I've never seen a presidential candidate this reckless, impulsive and ill-informed.

a presidential candidate this reckless, impulsive and ill-informed.
And there are people who think this is a good thing. Presidency by action movie philosophy. Shudder.

Someone on another site commented that if you throw a Hail-Mary pass and it fails, your next step is to fake an injury and ask for a time out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My Big Boss pulled out the "May you live in interesting times" today, and you know that's the truth. It sure is interesting...
