Why is it that when someone in politics - or just in the public eye - says something offensive, they back peddle and claim they were trying to tell a joke or be funny? Read the following article from Politico.com and you tell me, was the comment by Michael Barone of U.S. News and World Report funny in any way at all: Barone: Media wanted Palin abortion By MIKE ALLEN & ANDY BARR | 11/11/08 5:58 PM EST A roomful of academics erupted in angry boos Tuesday morning after political analyst Michael Barone said journalists trashed Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republicans' vice presidential nominee, because "she did not abort her Down syndrome baby." Barone said in an e-mail that he "was attempting to be humorous and ... went over the line." Barone was speaking at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, to the 121st annual meeting of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, which calls itself the nation’s oldest higher-education associatio...

I was with my best girl at my best friend's place with some of the best people I've ever known...and I had the best time. so THAT'S what it's like to enjoy an election night party. Now I see why the republicans lie, cheat, steal, smear, intimidate, and soar to new heights of fear-mongering and hypocrisy to win an election. It's a hell of a good feeling. I think this shows that America has come out of its 9/11 shock. Took a while, but we're healing. We still have more to go, but damn if this isn't a huge step in the right direction. Good job, America! Keep it up! "My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over." - Gerald Ford R.I.P. Cynic the Infotainer...?

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy.

This cracked me up. She's giving a stump speech about the only thing she can talk about: energy. Listen to the crowd after she says we need to develop new alternative energy sources and an "all of the above" approach. Palin supporters respond to her calling for "new alternative energy resources" by chanting "DRILL BABY DRILL!!!" Fuckin' idiots. HOW IS THAT NEW? HOW IS THAT ALTERNATIVE? (I know how it's energy and a resource). I guess her supporters really are like her.
