A Tough Assessment Of Sarah Palin
This is a really interesting article on the true crazyness that was John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin as running mate.
"(She) didn't know Africa was a continent. Couldn't name the member nations of NAFTA, even though they're the immediate neighbors of the United States. And, by the way, she was never shy about parroting the crap she had been programmed with about trade, and what a genius she was on the subject because she was from a state near Russia. Or something. Also.
But think about what this means, and what almost happened to this country. Frankly, the people who knew this about her and were still directly responsible for "vetting" her, putting her on the ticket, attempting to foist this idiot on the American people, and protecting her while there was still a chance (however theoretical) that she could become Vice President and possibly President of the United States ought to be arrested and tried for treason."

Michael Moore on Barack Obama
This is Michael Moore expressing his thoughts on the significance of a Barack Obama presidency.
From an interview on Time.com:
From an interview on Time.com:
Personally, the opportunity to vote for someone like Barack Obama will be one of the greatest things I will have done in my life. The Republicans aren't kidding when they say he's the "most liberal" senator in the Senate. When have we ever had the chance to vote for the "most liberal" of anything?
When I was a child, my parents took us on vacation in the South and I saw the signs over rest rooms that said "Coloreds" and "Whites." I saw the pain in my mother's face that she even had to explain something like that to me in the United State of America. My mother didn't live to see this moment, but I have, and it will be a bit emotional when and if he is declared the winner. I know I will cry a tear or two when I think of all who suffered at the hands of a racist nation. Redemption is always a wonderful thing.
The Main Thing To Watch This Election Day
From Time.com:
Three key states — Virginia, Indiana and Ohio — have polls that close by 7:30 p.m. ET. If Obama wins just one of these, McCain's chances go from slim to next-to-none. If Obama wins two or three, look for early talk of a Democratic rout. But if McCain takes all three, to channel Dan Rather, the night will be as long as the first-place winner in a Beyoncé–Jessica Simpson hair-extension contest.

Chevy Chase on Tina Fey
I just had to share this. It's a quote from Chevy Chase. He was asked about the whole Tina Fey-Sarah Palin thing on SNL. He basically panned Palin on her appearance. This was his advice for Fey.
"I think Tina Fey's in a lot of trouble," he laughed. "Because after Jerry Ford lost, I made about $80 million. Are you kidding? You're talking to the wrong guy here. Tina's great!"So there you go. The rise of Tina Fey is imminent.

MATT DRUDGE IS RIDICULOUS
I think that Drudge Report is a great news site just for getting blanket coverage of what the news day is all about. Every fall/winter though I have to pull my hair out over some of his headline. Here are some examples from today:
I guess I get what Drudge is going for but come on. I'd hate to break it to him but there still will be winter for a few more years. I get that the name has "warming" in it but there still might be a cool day here or there. Its just a bunch of weak attempts to try to get his view across that global warming does not exist.
I am sure he will continue to point out every speech Al Gore gives on a chilly, October morning but I for one feel a little better getting that off my chest, just don't ask me why.
Gore delivers environmental message at Harvard...
...with near 125-year record breaking low temps
Cyclists 'braved freezing cold temps' to promote global warming awareness...

$3,000,000 Overhead Projector?
So last night on the 2nd presidential debate John McCain suggested in passing that Barack Obama voted to spend 3 million dollars on an overhead projector. What was he talking about?
With a little searching I found that he was actually referring to a proposal Obama made to try and get some funding for the Adler Planetarium. It hadn't been updated in over 40 years and they no longer made the replacement parts for the dated equipment they used at the time.
I know McCain is out of touch but come on this was not for some desktop projector! It was for the buses full of students who, because of Barack Obama, can still visit this Chicago landmark.
Not exactly wasteful spending.

Kangaroos Not Cows
Australian professor Ross Garnaut thinks that raising kangaroos instead of cows for meat has a ton of benefits, 16 million tons to be exact. That's how many tons of carbon we could stop from being released into the atmosphere. Not only that but it would be more profitable in the long term.
I am all about this, save the planet! I only have one question though. What does kangaroo taste like? Has anyone ever tried it before?
