10 Low Points of the Campaign

Before the "first day I can be proud of my country" begins, I want to look back on the 10 lowest of low points of the campaign that led up to this.

1. Palin + Guilliani denigrating community organizers.
2. Palin's Couric interviews reminding us we are not past the era of Bush idiocracy.
3. Palin dividing America into real and (fake?) America. Guess which one she is from?
4. Palin implying Obama is a terrorist/unAmerican/Arab/(insert middle America fear) and McCain going along with it.
5. Thompson at the G.O.P. convention saying the only thing historic about Obama's presidency is his liberal policies and the other offensive race double standard arguments (Powell supports Obama cause he is black! Obama wouldn't have made it if he weren't black!) I guess the G.O.P. lost the minority vote for another 50 years.
6. McCain starting the general campaign tone last summer with the infamous Hilton/Spears ad.
7. Hillary's fake outrage and continuation of a futile campaign that cost money and time that only hurt the Democratic party and liberal causes.
8. The very existence of Giuliani and Romney and the rest of that slackjawed yokel group of GOP candidates (how many of you don't believe in evolution? good grief).
9. McCain making the irresponsible choice of picking Palin who by any objective measure is unqualified to be president.
10. McCain's complete misrepresentations, truthiness and lies on Obama's record (taxes, sex education, etc.), Palin's record (Bridge to Nowhere), and his own record (his love affair with every major Bush policy).

But this national nightmare will soon end! Tomorrow we will elect The One and all shall be well.

Happy Halloween!

It's about time...

A website with every music video! This also marks the first time in a decade MTV has done anything music related.

Is it just me...

... or does Sarah Palin's favorite "consignment shop" sound a lot like a gay bar?

Notes on the final debate

• Joe "the six-pack" Plumber takes up a quarter of the debate. Does this mythical, all-American really exist? If real, is "Plumber" Joes' last name or does his profession define his complete being?
• Best watched with a Tivo/DVR. Had to rewatch McCain rolling his eyes, trying to decipher what his interjections towards Obama were, and his awkward handshake with the MC at the end. Also, pausing on McCain's feigned expression of disbelief at Obama's lies.
• How dare Obama get upset that Palin didn't rebuke people at her rallies shouting "terrorist" and "kill him!" There were veterans at that rally Mr. Obama, and you just made them cry!
• McCain's record blinking per second (bl x s^-1) rate.
• Palin knows about having an autistic child?
• "Maverick" not mentioned once?
