some thoughts on tonight's debate
"Nuclear" - nu-klee-ur. Nuclear bombs, nuclear power, nuclear families. Say it fucking ten times right, goddammit. NOT nu-kyoo-lur. Why can't anyone get it right? If you're going to try to prohibit the escalation of nuclear bombs, be a proponent of nuclear energy or promote the nuclear family, at least get the word right.
Vote O'Bama/O'Biden in '08! I'm voting the Black Irish party ticket.
The word "maverick" shall heretofore be banned in 2009 and beyond until further notice. I don't want to hear that word again. Also, I do not want a "normal Joe Six-Pack American" in the position of vice presidency. I'm more comfortable having that type of person delivering my UPS packages, or fine-tuning my car. Or did she mean she wants a vice-president with six-pack abs? That would be hot.
Palin was charismatic and often smooth in her delivery, and to many viewers, that's all that matters I'm afraid. But at least Biden didn't have verbal diarrhea like he sometimes does, and he knew his facts and had a few good zingers. I hope he came off as more competent. Still, I worry and I'm going to be a mess until November.
Now back to our regularly scheduled woof: Eastern European/Russian freestyle wrestling fur photo gallery.

Maybe she just needs to spend more time studying at the liberry.
dude, seriously those pictures, rug burn, that's all i'm sayin... :z
I can understand the concern. One unfortunate side effect of Tina Fey's devastatingly accurate spoof of Palin is that she lowered the bar of expectation for her - such that simply not looking like an idiot made her supporters relax.
Her weak point (a common one, in political debates) was an outright refusal to answer the questions the moderator posed. I had a hard time thinking of anything she actually addressed head on, answering the actual question the moderator asked. Unfortunately, Biden did a fair amount of that as well (unnecessarily; he could have easily answered every question posed, and still gotten in his talking points)--which meant he couldn't exactly call her on it during the closing statements. And of course no moderator is going to actually insist that either the question be answered or announce that no answer was actually given.
I think Biden was too wooden and dull in the first hour, but he finally recovered and got more animated in the second hour. Palin did win Miss Congeniality, which I can respect as a former beauty pageant winner. ;) (Mr. Bayou Grizzley 2006)

Interesting...both regularly scheduled woof links were blocked at work due to "The Websense category "Phishing and Other Frauds" is filtered."
From PalinDrome Blog:
"9:34 - I will never understand why the democrat party cannot for the life of them pronounce the work nucular."

I'm pretty sure I heard an NPR article on this and you can say it either way.
As for debaters answering questions directly, that hasn't happened since 1860. I thought they both did fairly well though I had forgotten what an interventionist that Biden has been through the ages.
I do not want a Vice President who winks at me. That was fucking weird.
The whole "nukular" thing drives me absolutely bonkers. I also noticed the "O'biden" thing. I thought i ALSO heard Sarah speak about working with the "Talibani Government".
And I think "Joe Six Pack" is offensive. She's characterizing all of middle americans as heavy drinkers.
Firstly, fuck sarah palin, fuck her right in the ear. Secondly, what do gay guys like yourselves think of super hairy dudes like the russian guy in that first set of pictures. Hot, or gross? Be honest. I've been about that hairy since my late teens a few years ago and have always been super ashamed of it.
I think the bar had been lowered so much that all she had to do is say her name correctly and everyone would have thought she won the debate. I was a little miffed that Gwen Ifel let her get away with not answering questions.
I'm still hoping for that coma to kick in until November 4. This truly is driving me crazy.
Blake: I personally think more fur = more man, but most gays don't share this preference. Full-body shaving is a plague brought down upon my people by an evil cabal known as Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. Now straight guys are waxing and shaving too, much to my horror. And then there's this awful eyebrow waxing scourge going around too.
Blake, you'd be #1 in jimbo's book. Keep the fur and wear it proud.
If I hear the term "hockey mom" one more time, I'm going to throw something.
