'Safe'
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.
I think McCain's team thought it would be a way to look presidential and assumed that Obama would have to follow, which would make Obama look bad. Obama didn't take the bait.
Now that a deal is done, I foresee Bush giving McCain plenty of credit for helping get a deal.
And this has to do with giving $700b to giant investment banks...what, exactly? Or is she just trying to win at Buzzword Bingo?
I don't know what happened with that answer, it was like she couldn't think of a talking point to answer with so she just shotgunned all of them at once.
That's what it seemed like on the clip I saw of the first half of her interview - like all she knew were keywords that she just repeated.
What big thing do you guys think is going to happen?

Yeah, I think this is right -- it's an act of "OMG we have a CRISIS!!1! To the Batmobile!", and he didn't count on the fact that everyone has noticed by now that he's not Batman but just that creepy guy who walks around the neighborhood wearing tights that are starting to sag around the knees after one too many washings.

OMG, this made me laugh so hard, I was wheezing and the dogs were skeered
I don't think there are any big developments in the future except for the debates. Obama needs to be more straightforward, McCain and Biden need to avoid gaffes, and apparently Palin needs to be coherent.
Part of me is still waiting for Bushie to cancel the election. And I'm not even kidding.
Combine this thought with this cheery news from yesterday:
"beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the [1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division] will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North" -- "the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities."
and it gets pretty scary.
Another Palin video for the masochists among us:
All you can say is: unbelievable. Except it's true. She is the vice-presidential candidate of a national political party. Seriously:
Damn. I almost feel kinda' bad for her, seeing her struggle to say... something that makes any sense.
