Karl Rove: McCain's Ads Have Gone Too Far

Karl Rove: McCain's Ads Have Gone Too Far

Huffington opens this blog with the best sentence I've seen in a while:

"When Karl Rove is saying your political ads have gone too far, you know you must be doing something dishonest."

Dan Savage comments on Sarah Palin.

Savage Love - Dan Savage - The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper


Dear Jeebus, how I love Dan Savage. I love how his advice to people will somehow evolve into commentary on a similar (well, similar-ish; look for the transition sentence "Speaking of hot teenagers and asshole parents and vows that you may come to regret...") situation that's going on in the public sphere.

This advice turns toward his views of Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol's "choice." OMFG awesome.

John McCain's ads are LIES. Here's the video proof.

Perhaps this is a wildly political move, but I'm not sure I care at this point. If my fellow grad students don't want this here, I'm cool with deleting it. This blog, after all, belongs to all of us. Nevertheless I think I have a right to be angry about the direction this country is going in, and this little vid on youtube sort of encompasses that "righteous rage" I feel regarding our stupid electoral system.

Help Buffy!

How Many of Us Will Actually Be Able to Say This?

sorry about the sweep

but not that sorry. game 3 proved to be good until the last 2 innings, but we were three bloody marys in by then so the pain was only a distant sensation, i'd imagine.
