Wow. Last night’s Saturday Night Live was … well, not so funny.
SNL - Smooching Butt To Power

I didn’t know one-tenth of the real story. I won’t try to summarize this lengthy article. There is simply too much data, too [...]

There are a lot of scary things in this world, but one of the scariest is that Halloween and the Presidential election are only five days apart. It’s hard to miss the parallel between tricks-and-treats and the promises-and-panderings of politicians masquerading as the most caring, most vital, most sincere candidate. While [...]

A campaign official privately tells the paper: “She’s now positioning herself for her own future. Of course, this is bad for John. It looks like no one is in charge.”
ABC News, among others, notes that, in an interview with CNN, one McCain adviser anonymously called Palin “a [...]

It is not, one supposes, egotistical to note that the story I told you here last Monday (”Holy You Betcha, Batman! It’s the Barracuda!” 20 Oct 2008.) is now confirmed on Saturday, after having become the subject of speculation throughout the bloviating class. To wit:

Michele Bachmann, who recently called Obama anti-American (and his views “against America“) and said there was anti-American sentiment in Congress, and who has been abandoned by her own party, so crazy is she, but let’s go with Palin, the predictable choice, once again.

Sarah Palin is against robocalls… while doing them herself.
She is also against the “atrocious and unacceptable things” some of her supporters have been yelling out at her rallies, vicious and violent slurs directed at Obama, calling them “unacceptable” (though claiming that she hasn’t actually heard any of them, which hardly seems possible)… while stating, in [...]

John SIDNEY McTheuselah and Caribou Barbie have finally unveiled their latest last-ditch smear tactic*: Obama is a (gasp!) SOCIALIST! Here’s from Senator McCain’s radio address today, after reintroducing us to the dance sensation that’s sweeping the nation: “Joe the Plumber“:
