You're on vacation but you're jogging and working (slogging). Good times.

GOP debates were pretty boring, but Romney made an ass of himself by saying he would consult his attorneys before going to war with Iran and Thompson didn't wow anyone....

Guiliani raised only 1 million more than Romney in Q3 fund-raising. In addtion to that, Romney loaned himself 8.5 million. Clinton out-raised Obama, Edwards is lagging extremely far behind the 2 front runners.

Bah, maybe if I wasn't at work I could do more than post links to major news sites. Damn.

Remember that reporter who would ambush candidates with foreign policy questions during the 2000 campaign? Like asking George Bush if he knew the name of the president of Pakistan and stuff. Good times, man.

We now live in a more technical and scientific age. Lots more decisions based on like discovering mathematical correlations in patterns. You know, global warming and school choice and so on. So I'd go take Basic Statistics and then jump out of the bushes and ask John Edwards or Fred Thompson "What is the definition of standard deviation? What is the difference between median and mode?" That would be the best.

And hey! Look. You can take the whole class online! "Enroll anytime" it says! That is fucking out of sight. How can anybody afford to not take this class?

I (a vegetarian) got halfway through my beans and rice in Nashville last week before I realized those chunky things in there were sausage.

This morning Chris Crocker woke up. He blew his nose and ate a tuna sandwich. Then, he posted a video on Youtube talking about how sick he was of talking about himself and texted Eli so that it would be linked on SLOG. Then, he cried himself to sleep when he realized that Eli was on vacation. The end.

I've come to find that the stranger staff photo thumbs are extremely misleading.

And in breaking news, the majority of Americans wanted to re-elect President Gore - the question still remained as to his VP, however ... Richardson, Obama, or should he go with Clinton or Kucinich?

The Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded on Friday.

In completely unrelated news, the organization Draft Gore placed a full-page ad in the NYT urging him to run.

Rudy is the best GOP candidate ever: completely unelectable and liable to cleave the religious right from the party if he's nominated. Go Rudy!

Eli, Don't listen to the haters. You do a phenomenal job covering politics, giving us a refreshingly un-slanted view of what's going on. Enjoy your vacation, but keep doing what you're doing...

Eli,
Write something about the absurd interview that Billy O did with President Fox last night.
Billy informed the former President of all kinds nice facts about his own country.
He said that 3/4 of Mexico was dying to get across the border. NOT TRUE!

He informed Fox that 60 percent of his country drop out of high school. NOT TRUE...
Then Billy let the former President know that the whole Mexican Army is just a bunch of Narcos... Drug Lords.
Write anything about Billy O that would be offensive to him and all of his lies.

Someone named Darcy Burner is running for some elected position in a suburb in Washington State.

@25: the only thing that prevents me from immediately following your suggestion is the name. I can't get behind any food described as "Stompin'". My digestive tract rebels at the thought of it.

Christian gay bashers in our area are very scary.

Please call the peeps in Lynnwood and let them know you don't tolerate this crap.

Latest Vanity Fair has a great article on why the Clintons and the Gores - once the chummiest menage-a-quatre - parted political company circa 2000. The piece definitively counters the lame argument that Hillary's experience as First Lady somehow doesn't count.
