Obama on Letterman

I can't seem to find all the clips from presidential hopeful Barack Obama's appearance on Late Night With David Letterman last night. But, the middle portion of the show can be seen below.

Remembering 9/11

Hi all, once again due to my schedule today, I won't be able to post much.

I'd like to address today's significance, though. September 11, 2001 is a day that will live in infamy, but I think it's important that we take time out of our busy schedules and reflect and remember those who tragically lost their lives. Much has happened in the intervening years since that day, but we can still all come together and pay our respects for each and every human life that was lost. Please check out this website when you have time today, and most importantly of all, remember.

Once a foe, now a friend.

In non-politics related news, Anderson Cooper fills in for Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street. Watch and swoon below.

As the Silver Fox's numero uno fan, I couldn't NOT post this.

Gee, what a surprise

A McCain camp aide suggests they are "very seriously considering" having McCain and Palin campaign together more often than not in the next two months.

"Sometimes these vice presidential selections, the pairings, work in a magical way," says the aide.

Subtext: No one was excited about McCain before the snow princess came along and now that she's outshining him in the practically two weeks since she was tapped for veep, he wants to continue to draw large crowds with her by his side.

Hey, why risk it?

Sources say this could be the most a presidential and vice presidential candidate campaign in tandem in recent history.

Is Palin anti-Semitic?

Probably not. 

Of course, she could be, but I wouldn't get your panties in a bunch over the latest news from Gawker.

As it turns out, the gun-happy Alaskan quoted anti-Semitic author, Westbrook Pegler, in her now famous pithy speech at the RNC last week. 

"We grow good people in our small towns," said Palin, "with honesty and sincerity and dignity."

The thing is, the guy Four Eyes quoted was a staunch anti-Semite and incredibly right-wing, so much so that he openly wished for the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt.

Yeah.

What I'm getting at here is, do those 14 words amount to anything? Not really. Should her speech writers have paid a little more attention to their choice of words? Hell yes.

That or they had some real chutzpah.

Hillary love

"Hillary is as qualified or more qualified than I am," said Democratic veep nom Joe Biden at a Nashua, New Hampshire event.

Um, we know. But, duly noted anyhow.
