I look more rad than Lutheranism

Does anybody else find it peculiar that McCain has a commercial where he comes out and says that nobody is doing as well as they were four years ago?

Isn't that more likely to inspire "throw da bums out" than "let's see how this Republican does it!"

I'm not sure McCain grasps the finer points of what the TV commercials are supposed to do.

In not-really-related-to-the-election-but-kinda news, my bro and SiL are in town, and there was a shindig today. He normally brings me his brewpub's newest t-shirt, which (as it's a brewpub) has always been hawking a specific beer. Not any more. The current new t-shirt is a campaign t-shirt with Bartender Kenny on it, screened over an American flag, with the word "Bureaucracy" crossed out and the word "Beerocracy" under it, and "KENNY 08" at the bottom.

It may be my new favorite t-shirt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Olympics: Holy ass. I can't believe a woman almost as old as I am won an Olympic medal in gymnastics. Also, I feel really bad for Alicia Sacramone. Poor noodle.

(I should note, the above refers to current US TV Olympics, not actual current Olympics.)

Me, too, Jesse. There's n way the Chinese woman should have scored higher than her. She landed on her knees, fer crying out loud, a huge deduction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

One would think with my vast knowledge of vampires due to being a BUFFISTA, I'd be having an easier time of this chapter. UGH.

Google chupacabra for inspiration. It's a mexican version of the vamp.

Except McCain also knows that in order to beat Obama he needs to pull in independent voters who aren't going to be swayed by Republican Loyalty and will be influenced by "straight talk" about the state of affairs.

Pork butt, with 1 tsp of adobe sauce and not two + chopped chipotles, is in the cooker.

“Not dead yet!”

Well, and there was the Korean woman landing out of bounds on both vaults. Bullshit, says I.

I hate PBS. They are airing the last of the Inspector Lynley mysteries now. When I need to go to bed. Bastards.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

agreed, Barb. it's complete and utter bullshit. Bela is furious and he has a right to be.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Allyson, Gerald Durrell had a description of his encounters with vampire bats in one of his books. I thought it was in The Drunken Forest, but Wikipedia says it was The Whispering Land.

I don't currently have copies of those, but your library might.
