Driving through the New Mexico desert into Albequerque, we saw a giant gleaming white road sign with black text which read only COPS ARE EVERYWHERE. I think they’re trying to scare us. This is the paragraph I was reading at moment we noticed the sign:

Your Sex Life
Thursday, July 24, 2008
So far on tour we’ve had dinner with two families including early teenagers.

This interview with our President is from 2004. It has never been on US TV.

John McCain does not have “liberal views” on global warming. He does admit that global [...]

I have one dollar riding on the official announcement of the Democratic Party’s VP nomination being made some time after August 13th 11:59 EDT. Charlie took the under. Can I win twelve bucks this year on politics alone?

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read about in a long, long time. IT’S A FRACKIN’ CRACKER!
