Small Talk with Cindy McCain and Todd Palin
AHNC Fun Fact: Palin is Greek for backwards.
"But Cindy McCain, for one, points out that the governor, Palin, does in fact have some national-security experience [Video: Cindy McCain pointing out that Alaska is close to Russia]. Right, she's so close she can walk right up there and watch them like a neighborhood-watch captain or something." --Jimmy Kimmel

I Don't Trust People Who Use God and War In The Same Sentence
The war in Iraq is part of
God’s plan, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said in June in a speech at her former
church.
"Well the Beach Boys kicked off the Republican Convention last night in Minnesota. Only the Republicans would have someone sing about big waves and surfing during a hurricane. What, were 'Katrina and the Waves' not available over the weekend?" --Jay Leno

Teen mom Jamie Lynn Spears sent a $60 set of five coordinating burp cloths to teen-mom-to-be Bristol Palin.
Disturbing News
Subject: Sarah Palin for VP
Hi Lisa I 'm glad you didn't blog about Sarah Palins baby not being hers but her daughters. Sounds tinfoil hat stuff. Daily Kos and other Dem sites have been salivating over it. What do you think of Palin as McCains VP pick? This is the most interesting election! Thanks for what you do. $ in the mail. Ben
Thanks for writing Ben and thanks for your support!!
I do love watching the Old Guard Republicans horrified at McCains pick, such as David Gergen. lol
As far as Sarah Palin's baby -- People magazine ran a birth announcement on the day her son was born saying the baby was born at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center. But Mat-Su Regional Medical Center website shows no mention of Trig Palin, the Governor's son being born there. So I can see why the rumors started. It's silly to headline it in any news organization IMHO.
Not only were Dem web sites blogging about it but CNN, MSNBC and FOX were all babbling about the bloggers.
McCain has energized his party by partnering with Palin. I wonder if McCain would have picked Palin if Obama had picked Hillary?
The bottom line is Obama had the limelight taken away from him six days ago and hasn't had it back since. I wonder how and when he will get it back?
"This year
there are only 36 black delegates at the Republican Convention in Minnesota. As
a result, there are now 37 black people in Minnesota." --Conan O'Brien

"The
Republican Convention is under way. The theme for tonight’s Republican
Convention is, 'Who is John McCain?' Tomorrow night’s theme is, 'Who forgot to
check if the Vice President’s daughter is pregnant?'" --Conan O'Brien Dem vs GOP Conventions
The survey found that around 21.5 million people watched the Republican gathering unfold Tuesday night. That's 4.3 million fewer people than the 26 million viewers who tuned in last week for Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention....Like Day 2 in Denver, where more women than men tuned in to watch Hillary Clinton deliver her endorsement of Barack Obama, more women (11.2 million) than men (9.5 million) watched the GOP convention last night.

"Here's
the amazing part: back in 1984, Sarah Palin actually came second in the Miss
Alaska beauty pageant. Now she could be vice president. You know what that
means? For the first time in history, a beauty pageant contestant might actually
bring about world peace. They've talked about it for years; here's one that
could do it!" --Jay Leno

Don't Pay Retail
Consumers nervous
about the weak economy abandoned higher-end clothing store chains for discount
retail giants such as Wal-Mart, Costco and BJ's, which reaped back-to-school
sales in August.
"And how
are you going to be the vice president of the United States with five kids to
take care of? She's got a four-month-old of her own, she's about to become a
grandmother, and she's partnered with John McCain. How many diapers can one
woman possibly change?" --Jimmy Kimmel Bush-Prison-Torture News
"It turns
out Governor Palin is a lifelong member of the NRA and a life-time hunter.
Another vice president who's a hunter. What could go wrong there?" --Jay

Here's A Billion To Help Out

Green Cement?
Back when Stanford Professor
Brent Constantz was 27, he created a high-tech cement that revolutionized bone
fracture repair in hospitals worldwide. People who might have died from the
complications of breaking their hips lived. Fractured wrists became good as new.
