I find it funny that the Republican party, on one hand, claims that Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer, it's all in fun, and that he's basically just some guy they know.

Then, on the other hand, if they say something he doesn't like, they have to go and beg his forgiveness.

On Monday night I finally bought a new razor, since I finally got tired of my old, broken one scratching up my face. It's a million times nicer.

So Palin's not coming off like a chump, which I suppose was too much to hope for.

BUT...not only has Biden not made any goofy comments (well, okay, "Bosniacs" EDIT: nevermind, I suck, Bosniac is a real word) so far, I think he's doing a great job. Heck, I might even go so far as to say he's doing better than Obama ( Read more... )

Hmm. I guess I'd call it a draw. Both solid, but nobody wowed me. Not that anything in these debates is likely to change my vote (as I've been following the campaign closely for almost a year and there are unlikely to be any substantive surprises), but I'm interested in the effect they will have on the outcome. A while back, I read an interesting ( ( Read more... )
