So glad the lying and fear-mongering convention is over.  The first 5 minutes of Sarah Palin’s speech was pretty good, and had me worried.  But she deviated into being a dickhead for the last 25 minutes.  Rudy Giuliani is a cocksucker.  That little “performance” he put on making fun of liberals was ridiculous, but it was the only time he sounded mildly intelligent.  Maybe he should act like a liberal more often.

Please don’t let these people in again.  Please.

-She was elected Alaska’s governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage.

-She has no foreign policy experience.Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.

-She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000.

-Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.

-She doesn’t think humans are the cause of climate change.

-She sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.

Since John McCain is 128 years-old, it is very plausible that this woman could be president.   Issues like abortion are personal.  Though I happen to be pro-choice, I can certainly see things through a pro-life perspective, but the “not even rape or incest” part is a little ridiculous.  No comment on creationism.  And at this point you just have to be an uninformed buffoon to not think that our lifestyles and human beings has caused climate change.  I know you are a creationist, but please pay at least a little attention to scientists.

Supporting Pat Buchanan is really never forgivable.

Mac’s appearance was Obama’s first celebrity event of the evening. Later at a Lincoln Park nightclub, Obama spoke to a raucous crowd of music fans, who paid up to $500 per person to see a performance by Wilco lead singer Jeff Tweedy, and two other band members.

“Before these guys go, I want them to know that I had heard a rumor that they had suggested that I had nothing by them on my iPod,” Obama said. “That is not true. I love Wilco.”
