Gotcha!

Have you all heard the latest out of McLame? Palin responded to a reporter's question in the exact same way as Obama did during the debate. The problem is, Maverick chided Obama for his answer. But that's ok. It wasn't Sarah's fault.

McCain, who sat with Palin, said in Monday's interview that he understands "the day and age of 'gotcha' journalism. ... In a conversation with someone who you didn't hear the question very well, you don't know the context of the conversation. Grab a phrase. Gov. Palin and I agree that you don't announce that you're going to attack another country."

So, it is now considered 'Gotcha!' journalism to ask a candidate a policy question. It is THEIR fault that the candidate does not know her partners stances on these subjects.

Debate With Destiny!

I want to remind people that this is a good place to just post goofy shit about the election. If I don't have you guys to amuse me, I'm going to start to go a little bonkers.

I had this song in my head after last night's multiple references to Henry Kissinger (warning, it's not quite kid safe):

If you saw the debate, then you know that the advantage we were told McCain had on national security was exaggerated. At best.

I'd ask you to caption that image, and you can if you like, but I want to point out that it is representative of one aspect of the night. McCain does not like Obama. McCain has a hard time concealing his dislike. It's no wonder he's not a poker player. As far as I could tell, he never looked Obama in the eye. I assume he was trying to contain his emotions.

Here's my caption.

Obama: "Good debate, John. I think we really got our positions across to the American people."

McCain: "What's that? I hear a voice but I don't see anyone. Oh S--T! It's Barack Obama!"

ABC's Harsh Criticism

I was surprised to see such blunt criticism of McCain's recent behavior when I watched "this week with George Stephanopoulos" on ABC this morning.

Truth in Labeling

When I look at this picture, I have to wonder: is McCain's campaign putting his name on all his clothing? And does that help him get dressed quicker in the morning? I'm wondering if I should try this.

LOLitics ... Back From the Dead

The crap and the hate that gets flung around every election has run it's usual course and soured me to Americans in general, so I'm doing what I normally do - go "off the RADAR screen" politically, do my homework and vote when the time comes.

But I'll still take part in the funny stuff. So maybe we can once again become LOLiticians and take a hack at this pic of the two candidates from last week's memorial at Ground Zero in New York...

God's Will

Sarah Palin gives a brief sermon in June 2008 and asks parishioners to pray for a new pipeline.

"I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that."
