Sarah Palin = Jesse Jackson
John McCain’s most effective attack on Barack Obama was calling him inexperienced. But McCain’s choice of Palin, who seemed to have the foreign policy knowledge of a bowling alley waitress, made these attacks sound silly.
…
And while Americans have had presidents with short résumés, some fringe political beliefs or questionable intellects, the potent combination makes Palin unelectable.
A Glimpse into the Future
“Steve Jobs announced his return to Apple today after a government-mandated stint as CEO of General Motors. Obama White House spokesperson Ruth Christopher stated that since Jobs had saved the American auto company with the introduction of the extremely popular flyCar, he could return…”
Haha, if only, man, if only.

Maybe Angie Harmon should talk to some of the gays in Hollywood where she’s a mediocre model/actress/whatever about Repub understanding.
As for the class, she could talk to David Vitter, or Larry Craig, or Ken Starr, or Tom DeLay, or Ann Coulter, or George W. Bush, or Dick Cheney…

What a drag.
Haha.
Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm said she won’t apologize to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for her crack at last weekend’s Gridiron Dinner that the former Republican vice presidential candidate “really set back the cause of hot governors.”
At the exclusive Washington dinner on Saturday, which was packed with top elected officials, Granholm also used the quip to needle...

Is this even a big deal? Did anyone really think that Oklahoma “scientists” were going to be the ones to cure Parkinson’s disease anyway? I hear they’re still working on finally getting a handle of just how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

Plot of the next Jennifer Aniston movie (serious):

Krugman on Obama's economic plan
“If this plan fails — as it almost surely will — it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to persuade Congress to come up with more funds to do what he should have done in the first place.”
To tell you the truth, I trust Krugman way more than I trust Geithner.

One Shining Moment
In Bill Simmons’ podcast yesterday (3/18), he bemoans that Obama’s NCAA tourney picks are too conservative, because Obama took the higher seed in every game but two. Simmons’ podcast guest Joe House then wondered aloud if “playing it safe” like that helped Obama become president. Simmons agreed and said he wished Bush had filled out a bracket while he was president,...

WatchObama is seriously the coolest. Who else would do this? What other president could pull this off? Make sure you watch the entire video and check out Andy Katz’s face when Obama talks directly to the camera. He can’t believe it either. How did this guy get elected? Simply amazing.

USA becoming less religious
Believe it or not. Here are some highlights from the 2008 numbers, with the 1990 results in parenthesis for reference:
2008% (1990%)
Total Christians: 76% (86%)
Catholic: 25% (26%)
Mainline Protestant: 13% (17%)
Pentecostal (i.e. Sarah Palin): 3.5% (3.5%)
Mormon (i.e. Mitt Romney): 1.4% (1.4%)
Religious Jews (not “cultural” Jews): 1.2% (1.8%)
Muslim: 0.6% (N/A?)

John vs. the Volcano
So McCain is seething about earmarks again. Lots of the Repubs have been doing it. Remember Bobby Jindal saying volcano monitoring was a waste of money? And here’s Sean Hannity showing some hapless Dem Congressman who’s boss.
But the Jindal thing really made me wonder about this round of earmark indignation, becuase when he faulted government support for volcano monitoring it suddenly...
Minor leaguer traded for ten bats kills himself
Poor bastard.
Is it demand, or indoctrination?
That is the teaser line FOXNews gave following this headline: “Children’s book publishers crank up tomes on new president.” A vast conspiracy of children’s book publishers? Believe it. Minutemen assemble! You’re urgently needed!

James Dobson Quits Real Job, Will Focus On...
Best part of the article:
“Last year, Dobson caused a huge political stir when he announced he “cannot and will not” vote for Republican nominee Sen. John McCain. He later changed his tune, after McCain’s pick of Alaska Gov.

(Con)Text of Eric Holder’s “nation of cowards” remarks:

Though race related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many...

John Kerry is droll.
Q. Who would win in a street fight, Pat Buchanan or John McLaughlin? A: Trust me, we’d all be winners in that scenario.
I know that’s a little “inside the beltway,” but let me assure you, that’s quite funny.

Kindle 2 (yawn)
Jon Stewart and I have the same attitude towards reading: that the stacks of books we create are proof that we’ve accomplished something with our lives. Thus, I pretty much scoff the Kindle 2.
I wonder though, does this mean that I’m old now? That I’m beginnging to resist technology because I’m so rooted in the way I currently do things? (An uneasy) Part of me says yes,...
Unconfortably Serious Rage #1: My Piracy
So I “steal” a lot of music and video on the internet. Cry me a whole swamp of boo hoo about your copyright nonsense, this is why I do it:

Here’s the best part though (from FOXNews):

Check out the photo again. Am I the...
