This just in via my sturdy Google Reader feed: Who do you want to vote for? Who do you want to represent our country on the world stage? Who is less scary? Who is more trustworthy? Who is more statesmanlike and leaderly? Who do you want taking that 3:00AM phone call? Who do you want the Football to follow around? Please. Vote for That One. Because a vote is a terrible thing to waste.

Geez, and I was pissed when a TSA agent in Washington relieved me of my expensive Hawaiian moisturizer/sunscreen because I forgot to repack it in a plastic bag and put it in my checked baggage. Imagine being a news person on your way to cover some story, having to call your producer to say “The camera… the lenses… they weren’t in my bag when I picked it up at baggage claim.” Burn! Then imagine a colleague finding your camera on eBay. Revenge is sweet. TSA agent helped himself to a $47,900 camera (and more!) – Gadling | travel blog |…

This is what happens when Facebook’s “Superpoke!” application doesn’t work right: That’s right, you get the Fail Chicken. I can be reached on Facebook as Ginny Hussein Gibbs, and I’ll throw a chicken, Obama, or some other wacky thing at you if you like. Hope you don’t encounter the Fail Chicken.

I also wonder, what would Gerald Ford have thought if he could somehow see McCain coming to lay flowers at his grave with First Dude? …And what is Todd Palin doing there in the first place — especially when (forsaking the excellent adventure) he could be home with the baby and kids? Ah. This is one of those “reach out to the moderates” action straight out of the playbook. Ford would be appalled, I think, by Palin’s politics, as he was appalled by the Religious Right’s co-opting of the party. Reported this one to The General.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Governor Palin’s Reading List Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that “some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies.” It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list. And that shocking revelation is just one more…

Made it to Steve’s house to watch Stargate: Continuum and now have a Labradoodle at my feet. Polly is a lively girl but at the moment she’s being all good and calm. Until Steve gets her riled up for “outies,” that is. p>a href=”http://www.blogula-rasa.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/p-640-480-6c4e0c9d-970b-4392-9c71-edc249ceb748.jpeg”>img src=”http://www.blogula-rasa.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/p-640-480-6c4e0c9d-970b-4392-9c71-edc249ceb748.jpeg” alt=”” width=”225″ height=”300″ class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-364″ />/a>/p>

TPM Election Central | Talking Points Memo | Obama Campaign: McCain “Would Rather Lose His Integrity Than Lose An Election” TPM notes that Obama’s campaign hit McCain where he lives.. on the “honor and integrity” meme that’s part of his maverick-hero image. This is after his appearance on The View, where Joy Behar told McCain that a lot of his oft-repeated campaign statements are lies. Right to his face. I love Joy. Today on “The View,” John McCain defended his campaign’s latest ad campaign, which has been debunked repeatedly as both false and sleazy. In running the sleaziest campaign since…

One Utah » Blog Archive » McCain Caught Lying Again, Today. Yep, it turns out there are no official estimates of the size of the crowds he’s attracting to his rallies. His campaign staff cites fire marshals and Secret Service personnel, but actual fire marshals and Secret Service spokespersons contacted by reporters deny supplying the McCain people with crowd size estimates. Meanwhile, his staff now insist it’s never been about the size of the crowds, it’s what McCain does with them that counts. Audience envy. It’s not pretty.

Dave Walker, Cartoonist of Lambeth, received a “cease and desist” letter from a current owner of the British SPCK chain of Christian bookshops. He has removed all content from his blog pertaining to the odd and ongoing story of how an Anglican bookstore chain got turned over to a group of Texans of the Orthodox faith for a song. And how a lot of people lost their jobs over the last year or so, and how one young man was driven to despair and committed suicide, all because this strangely fundamentalist Orthodox group decided to gut the bookshops, fire the…
