This made me snort Diet Coke up my nose:

Sen. Barack Obama on Monday denounced the "say-anything, do-anything politics" by Sen. John McCain's camp, but said "careless, outrageous comments" won't distract him from addressing the nation's ills.

...

"It's getting so bad that even Sen. McCain's running mate denounced his tactics last night," Obama said at a campaign event in Tampa, Florida. "As you know, you really have to work hard to violate Gov. Palin's standards on negative campaigning."

Let's see....

Palin also claimed Satan had been "embraced" during the campaign, although she offered no evidence to support that.

Hmmm... Palin/McCain's next attack on Obama?

Palin also claimed sheep had been "fucked" during the campaign, although she offered no evidence to support that.

Next week's attack?

"Faith in God in general has been mocked through this campaign, and that breaks my heart and that is unfair for others who share a faith in God and choose to worship our Lord in whatever private manner that they deem fit," she said.

And another strawman hits the dust. I wish she had been pressed for examples.

We could supply 10% of this country's electrical energy needs if we could only burn all the McCain/Palin strawmen for fuel....

They're already contributing enough to global warming with hot air.

or possibly methane from all the bull.

Shakespeare set part of Winter's Tale on the seacoast of Bohemia. Which is a lovely area, right next to the Florida desert....

Actually, it's closer to the desert of Louisiana (as presented at the end of Manon).

Timelies all!

Monday again? Oh, well...

Random question that I'd ask in the music thread except I never go there so I don't want to interrupt and skip to the end:

Anyone know any (preferably good) songs that mention Columbus? That is, Columbus Ohio, not Columbus the explorer. I usually make a mix every year after going to the conference I just attended, and try to put a song in that has to do with the city it was held in...this year it was Columbus.

I missed the Africa cities discussion - I would have guessed Addis.

That's all I have for 100+ posts.

I am losing my voice, like I have almost every fall since college. I didn't lose it last year though, and because of that mac does not believe me that it is not a big deal. I am trying not to speak much, but when I do he gets all concerned.

he has a belt test for karate tomorrow night and I do not think he is prepared. At some point this evening I have to make him turn off the PS2 and practice until he can do these 20 steps cold.
