Sarah Palin has vowed to do only a few interviews between now and the election. Katie Couric’s interview, she called it “gotcha journalism.” Palin is not doing any more of those, just doing friendly interviews now, which she calls “you betcha journalism.”- Jay Leno

It's Getting Mean Out There
There were shouts of "Nobama" and "Socialist" at the mention of the Democratic presidential nominee. There were boos, middle fingers turned up and thumbs turned down as a media caravan moved through the crowd Thursday for a midday town hall gathering featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Who are the undecided? And what are they waiting for? John McCain to get younger or Barack Obama to get whiter? – Will Durst
Disturbing News
John McCain's Rage
is a National Security Concern
John McCain said we need "a cool hand at the tiller," but McCain has proven to be a loose cannon. He has accosted his Congressional colleagues on both sides of the aisle on everything from the federal budget to diplomatic relations. He is known for hurling profanities rather than settling disagreements calmly. His belligerence is legendary. Even conservative Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi has said, "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

For Those Who Think Bush Is Never Going To Leave The White House
A piece of paper that President Bush signed Thursday helps ease his way out of the White House when his term ends and clears the way for his successor.
You know, you see a lot of these financial experts on the news the last couple of weeks. And isn’t the very fact they’re in this mess proof there’s no such thing as a financial expert? Huh, huh? Anyway, the good news, Secretary Treasurer Henry Paulson called for calm today. The bad news, he made the call from the Cayman Islands.- Jay Leno

Irish Think Palin Is Full Of Blarney
MIDWAY THROUGH
her debate with Joe Biden, Sarah Palin began dropping her Gs and channeling
Marge Gunderson, the plain-speakin', pistol-packin' pregnant police chief in
Fargo.
Palin declared, in no uncertain terms, that she needn't answer questions put to
her by the moderator, that Obama-lovin' Gwen Ifill, who works for the
ultraliberal Public Broadcasting Service, or anybody else in the mainstream
media. She was gonna talk straight to the American people.
It was great theatre, but in a Beckett-like absurdist way. It is a tried and
true tactic of the American right to blame any and all their problems on the
"mainstream media".
They even have an acronym for it: MSM, as if it's some malevolent Chinese food
additive.
But they had the town hall format, and that meant that the candidates could wander around on stage. You know, I like John McCain, but wandering around on stage there, he looked like a retiree who can’t find his Buick.- Jay Leno

St. Sarah Slips
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, touted by GOP presidential candidate John McCain as his expert on energy, seemed to have problems Thursday explaining whether the government bans oil exports — especially from her state's North Slope fields.
John McCain has suggested the C.E.O. of eBay, Meg Whitman, for Secretary of the Treasury. This will work. She’ll help convert our economy from the free-market system to flea-market system. - LaughLines

IT'S ALMOST TIME
There are less than 2 months until the election, an election that will decide
the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the
president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans. To show
our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our
support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we come together,
Democrats and Republicans alike.
If you support the policies and character of Barack Obama, please drive with
your headlights on during the day.
If you support the policies and character of John McCain, please drive with your
headlights off at night.
Thank you for your participation
