Help me Obi Wan Obama; you're my only HOPE

Thoughts on the election coming soon. In the interim: Yes We Did! I spent the afternoon calling people in Iowa and reminding them to vote.

Now comes the hard part: actually governing a country on the verge of bankruptcy.

In the meantime, here is a fun video via Slate. I got most of my news tonight from MSNBC and I checked out Fox "News" to see how they were handling things (I have been to funerals that were more fun than those jokers this evenings).

However, it seems CNN got themselves a new toy. Check it out:



I want one of those things.

Friday evening musings

Not much in the way of in-depth political musings this evening. First, here a couple of pictures that amuse me. Hope you all enjoy them. (h/t to the Rev. Irwin Addison for the first one.)


For reviews of the RNC, I direct your attention to one of the many open thread discussions on Daily Kos. More later about 9/11 Rudy, Sarah Palin's vitriol and her failed attempt to eBay that plane, and Mr. Noun Verb POW.

Oh, and congrats to Rachel Maddow. Her new show premiers Monday at 9 p.m. She even filled in on Countdown this evening and skewered Palin. Here it is for your review.

Come to the Dark Side

This is one of those silly little fun things I found. CAUTION: NOT REALLY WORK-FRIENDLY.

I know I'm a little behind the times with the Obama Girl thing, but this one was pretty neat. It was originally posted here.
