I just read that some hackers broke into Palin's Yahoo! mail account, and that she was using it for government business. w.t.f. Using a Yahoo! mail account for official government business? I'd hoped that her relative youth would counter some of McCain's lack of tech savvy, but it seems that she's no more technically aware than he is... or at least have some minimal level of common sense.

Terrifying to say the least.

Charles,
Why Palin's court? She's not running for President, McCain is. Doesn't make sense partner.

#1, she didn't do it due to lack of common sense, she likely did it to avoid her shady correspondence from being subpoenaed from official government servers.

lol, yea, you would think Palin was running...uh, who even cares? McCain voters aren't obsessed with Biden.

@4: To be fair, she did it to protect herself from public disclosure laws and due to a lack of common sense.

Charles already stated that Obama has beat McCain.

So, if Palin sent email about Alaska state business to Karl Rove, does that mean we can get all the missing 1,000,000 emails from Rove's account?

About time.

Well, for the past two weeks, almost all attacks have been directed at Palin and McCain. On SNL there was not one Obama joke, but the monologue and weekend update and all through the show the attacks were on Republicans.

It's easy to sit back and do and say nothing like Obama and Biden and bask in the glow of mediocrity, but at least McCain has seemed more a part of the solution than a cause of more strife.

In the end, Obama's lack of caring and aloofness and general selfishness will push him down in the voting booth.

Puck. The puck is in here side of the rink.

John Bailo sounds like Lord Haw Haw at the end of WW2...all drunken and despondent.

This is Berlin...

I control #11.

That's me on the right.

That's #11 on the left.

John Bailo pays us both handsomely!

@9
"Obama's lack of caring and aloofness" come on is that the best you can come up with - empty false adjectives that you desperately wish would stick.

And while you are whining, and boy do I mean WHINING away about "oh they are so so mean, those mean people on SNL are being unfair." Have you ever considered that perhaps people like palin make it so so easy for SNL. She comes with so much baggage that the satire is ripe for the picking. It is almost incomprehensible to fathom how the republicans could come up with someone worse than Bush.

So, at least for the moment we can have a few laughs while the Republican (McCain) Non-regulated Economy implodes and the country falls apart.

#13:

Barry has clawed, bit, scratched and stamped his little feet for 2 weeks ever since the new and prettier girl Sarah Palin sat down in class.

Barry O has not made a signification policy statement or comment on any of the world events or financial problems, while John McCain has worked to be part of the solution, not a Biden-Barry peanut gallery of hecklers.

#13.2:

Oh and another thing. As far as SNL writers, to me there are so many obvious foibles in Obama that could be made fun of.

For exmaple, his whole stentorian oratory style. He could be doing something like reading a shopping list, and rattle off about his "protects this Country, this People, this Family with Products that are Safe, Regulated, and Financially Sound". Just any over the top bombastic oratory which is his trademark. But no. You never see anyone hitting Barry on that because everyone is such a tool. Obama to me is a walking satire so it should be as easy as pie to take potshots at him, but you never see it done. Never. What are people afraid of?

Johnny you need to go to the principals office for being clueless, though very imaginative, on current events.

Oh, and you're still a whiny little bitch.

Don't be mean to me - my herpes is acting up.

@9 for the loss, @17 for the win.

Or was that for the whine? - maybe he's got a "mental recession" ...

48 to 43? That is pretty much a statistical dead heat. Palin is a Stepford wife.

The real clear poll averages show Obama up 0.9, largely due to polls ending on 9/16 corrobrating movement in our direction.

However.

To regain the kind of margin he held steadily before the conventions isn't that great -- since it is taking a global economic meltdown and the shift in the USA to socialism-for-capitalists to produce this shift, not anything Obama did or said.

Both sides do not have much clue on how to go forward right now. The lack of regulation got us here but putting in regulations won't get us out.

Banks aren't making any loans, anyway, to anyone, anyhow. Regulations telling them not to make easy loans won't get the money flowing again.

So what plan should we have? Not sure, but since we're socializing the finance industry anyway let's do it sensibly. A resolution trust type company could buy all the toxic loans and let the preforeclosure folks (a) renegotiate with us, their new creditors, (b) enjoy orderly liquidation instead of simultaneous foreclosures, (c) become renters. IOW get all the toxic loans off the books of all the lenders, taking their fear.

Oh and impose a special tax on bank profits kicking in and paying us back a bit for this favor.

In sum:

One cheer for Obama -- Looks like he'll eke it out with the help of massive economic failures about which he wasn't focusing, and about which he doesn't have a plan.

We may have a little bit more change than we actually wanted or need.

Unity y'all,

Uzbeks drank my brake fluid!

That is all, Seattle hipsters, until my next incoherent, off-topic, moonbatshitcrazy rant.
