Adam Schiff can kick Arthur Branch's butt any day. ANY DAY. Yeah, but Fred Thomson is no Steven Hill (the fellow who played DA Adam Schiff.) Adam Schiff can kick Arthur Branch’s butt any day.

He'd come into Sam's office, knock back a couple of shots, pontificate about how things ought to be, and then go back to his office to sleep it off. You're right! Fred Thompson is the perfect speaker for John McCain's convention. And the way he pulled it off without a hint of bitterness about how McCain KICKED HIS ASS in the primaries. Yeah-boy, that Fred Thompson is some actor, all right! And I'm sorry Rudy got bounced from the festivities. I was hoping he could explain again how he single-handedly saved America on 911. I still haven't figured that one out. I tell you, America just doesn't have enough heroes, does it?. I’ve always liked Fred Thompson in that role,too, MeanTim.

Replacing Sarah Palin with me as Veep would definitely not be considered "flip-flopping", although <em>that</em> no longer seems to be a problem for your campaign. I certainly would have no qualms about flip-flopping, if that's what you need me to do. I may spend the rest of the day practicing 180 degree shifts in political positions. I'm offering you my "A" game, John. Marilyn said "You'd better not fuck this up, John, or I'll kick you square in the nuts so hard...!" Oh ... no ... actually, that's what she said to me. Sorry.

Mr. McCain. I'm still available for the Veep position, when you finally come to your senses and cut Sarah Palin loose. The issues with Sarah are mounting! I also noticed you hired Tucker Eskew to get her up to speed in the issues. (BTW, what's with the Republican's fascination with the name "Tucker" anyway. Tucker Eskew, Tucker Bounds {what a dickhead he is}, Tucker Carlson {ditto}.....) Sure, Eskew's a great junkyard dawg, but didn't he and a few of his friends take your campaign down in South Carolina back in 2000, by suggesting you had a black child out of wedlock? I applaud you for doing anything you have to do to win the election in 2008, even hiring your sworn enemy, if it helps Git 'er Done . John, between you and me, it's time to ditch the bitch and take me on as your Vice President. Then we'll have two good looking rich white guys (OK, one good looking rich white guy and one <em>really</em> experienced rich white guy) on the Republican ticket, just like it's always been. You know I'm right. Call me. Hellooo!! Mr. McCain. I’m still available for the Veep position, when you finally come to your senses and cut Sarah Palin loose. The issues with Sarah are mounting!

Christine still gets excited and immediately rolls onto her back whenever I crack it. If I'm wearing my Indiana Jones fedora when I crack it, she gets up, wrestles me to the floor and rips my shirt in the process! It's a purely Pavlovian/Freudian response, so it's no longer safe to take out the whip in public.

Within two minutes, Pat Buchanon's falsetto was carping about how Obama's stand on abortion is just this side of Josef Mengele's position (whatever that might be). Pat's voice is my personal fingernails to chalkboard experience. And when he liberally adds "stupid" to his soliloquy, I have to leave.

Oh, Jimmy. You naughty man! ...... Oh my. Jimmy is in SC trying to find me? But he has "No Service"? Can't he just find a pay phone? Oh, yeah - this is South Carolina and they've all been broken into, ripped off and vandalized. Well, come on, Jimmy. Think of something! I'm going to call Geraldine at the co-op in Vermont and at least let her know where I am. Maybe Jimmy can contact her somehow and find me that way. Meanwhile, I'm going to go park under a cell tower. ……

On the bright side, the latest USA Today/Gallup (I think that's which one is cited on Talking Points Memo) has a post convention bounce with Obama at 50% and McCain at 43%. Pay attention to 50% this late in the game, and pray to Lobster we don't bomb Iran, which I think Bush threatened to do if Obama wins. Why he and Cheney are not in stocks on the White House lawn completely escapes me. That about sums it up, Aunt Sam.
