ABM: We’ve lost a lot of Alaska’s military members to the war in Iraq. How do you feel about sending more troops into battle, as President Bush is suggesting?
Palin: I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments, [...]

Virgin/Whore President
Friday, August 29, 2008
I think it’s as fair to bring up the fact that Sarah Palin is a former beauty queen as it is to bring up that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a former goofball actor.
It seems to me that beauty pageants are a contest to see who can simultaneously be the most sexual while also being the most [...]
Terror
Friday, August 29, 2008
The more I think about it, the more I’m bowled over at what an incoherent pick Palin is. The entire Republican raison d’être is that terrorists want to kill you and only Republicans are strong enough to save you. Who is gonna believe that this is gonna save you from anything?
A Heartbeat Away
Friday, August 29, 2008
Sarah Palin thinks that being the governor is “a pretty cool job.”
And “[A]s for that V.P. talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the V.P. does every day?
She’s a Creationist. She’s anti-choice. And face it, you don’t get to [...]
Oil

“For the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as president: in 10 years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East,”

God Bless America
Wednesday, August 27, 2008
At the Pirates game last night, for the first time in seven years that I remember, they did not sing God Bless America at the seventh inning stretch.
I’m glad I don’t have to sit through that cantankerous ditty anymore while the rednecks stare at me, wondering why I’m not standing with my hand over my [...]
Nyjer Morgan
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
The Pirates lost tonight, but Nyjer Morgan is so cool.
I realize that he’s not a good player, and that he’ll never be a good player. The Pirates fans who talk about Nyjer Morgan as if he’s a prospect are overlooking the fact that he’s twenty-seven years old and has yet to log a full year [...]
Go Gotham
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
I bet nobody cares about this, but my favorite part of watching the convention last night was noticing the fonts. They used Gotham almost exclusively. Gotham is one of my very favorite fonts. The font says, ‘cool detectives, American urbanism, and old Superman comics.” I love that font.
Gotham is like Helvetica after its balls dropped. [...]
Hope
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
When Barack talks about hope, he’s using a feel-good generality to appeal to voters. That’s obvious. But let’s be honest, he’s also talking about the hope that he won’t get shot by a bunch of white supremacists with guns who are stalking the convention.
Mother fucker, people are fucked up.
