WITH 2:45 TO GO IN THE 1ST QUARTER...

...I'm reaching for happier thoughts, like my homies. For example, The Finn loves Rod Stewart. Eskimo, he's actually Asian. With those clues in my back-pocket, I traversed the globe for their love child.

Unremarkably, he's big in Japan.

TASTES GREAT, LESS FILLING

I'LL GIVE SARAH PALIN THIS

She truly makes the rest of the Republicans look like the dilapidated windbags they are. Holy shit has Lindsey Graham just metaphorically electrified the crowd, seemingly killing them all.

The Hammer has risen from the couch with an exasperated "I don't know how you can watch this."

The dog farts in the corner. Tom Ridge, you are no Ed Rendell.

Whoever is running the Reader's Digest advert imagery on the jumbotron should just turn on the Daily Show. The masses may buckle in oblivious disagreement, but at least the home viewer would register a pulse in St. Paul.

MEN I LOVE, VOL. V

If not for his flair, his addictions, his comeback(s) or simply having the balls to improv a pass at Mike Tyson, then for this quote:

"I'm such a work in progress at the moment, it's crazy, and life wants me on edge, I swear to you. But as long as I don't forget the past, I'm cool. One must always be mindful, just like you might forget that old girlfriend who tried to slit your throat, but she's really still hot. If you remember the stitches more than you remember the pussy, you're going to be just fine."

Carry on my wayward son. Don't you cry no more.

Mellencamp once said "I fight authority, authority always wins." Clearly, that sentiment is American by design.

RUDY'S...ALMOST...DONE...

I prefer Bill Mahr as an appetizer.

WAITING FOR THE NIGHT TO FALL...

Tick...tick...tick...

"The story of the day out here in Minneapolis is the McCain campaign’s war against the press … So what’s going on here? Two things. McCain is just plain angry at us. By the evidence presented in the utterly revealing Time interview, he’s ballistic. This is a politician who needs to see himself as the man on the white horse, boldly traversing a muddy field…any intimations that he’s gotten muddied in the process, or has decided to throw mud, are intolerable. The second thing is more insidious: Steve Schmidt has decided, for tactical reasons, to slime the press. He wants the public to believe that there is an unfair–sexist (you gotta love it)–personal assault going on against Palin and her family. This is a smokescreen, intended to divert attention from the fact the very real and responsible vetting that is taking place in the media–about the substance of Palin’s record as mayor and governor. …There is a tendency in the media to kick ourselves, cringe and withdraw, when we are criticized. But I hope my colleagues stand strong in this case: it is important for the public to know that Palin raised taxes as governor, supported the Bridge to Nowhere before she opposed it, pursued pork-barrel projects as mayor, tried to ban books at the local library and thinks the war in Iraq is “a task from God.” The attempts by the McCain campaign to bully us into not reporting such things are not only stupidly aggressive, but unprofessional in the extreme."
