Oh, speaking of the election... When I did my tiny amount of calling for Obama, I got one old lady who was like, "Why are they talking about abortion all the time, when we're in the middle of an unjust war?!?!?" I had no idea anyone was currently talking about abortion, but maybe Pennsylvania politics is that different?
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Last week, Palin was talking about abortion a lot. Was this before then?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting divorced. Whoops.

I think he knows that he can't let up at this point. He might be out in front by most measures (fivethirtyeight.com, I'm looking at you), but there's still 3 weeks to go.
There's no reason McCain can't win this thing. It is pretty easy to imagine he can get FL, OH, NC, VA, IN, WV, and MO. At that point, he'd need MN, or WI, or both CO and NV to go for him and he'd win it.

Oh, that must have been what she was talking about. Huh.

I figured it was the death knell for them when Ritchie made an announcement to the press that everything was fine a few weeks ago.

Well, except for the polls.
(Yes, I know that polls do NOT equal guaranteed votes, but Obama is polling exceedingly better at this point in the campaign than Kerry did at the same point in 2004.)

I'd like to make an announcement to the press that everything is fine between McCain and the American people....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It is pretty easy to imagine he can get FL, OH, NC, VA, IN, WV, and MO.
No, it's really not. It's easy to imagine that he'll get at least some of them, but all of them would be a huge stretch at this point. And he'd really need all.
(Usual disclaimers, polls vs votes, no desire to tempt fate, yadda yadda)
(eta; oh, duh, sarcasm. Time to recalibrate the meter -- sorry!)
