I appreciate it. Haven't made it over here for awhile. I didn't realize there were so many trolls out there. Amazing how sensitive these McCain-iacs are, no? Thanks, Aunt Sam, for the boost.

If it goes to TV they'll quit broadcasting the radio show (no matter what they say in the memo) and I'll lose it. I. Do. Not. Watch. TV. Ever. Not even for Wait Wait!

That's some news! I always wondered how come the show has not yet migrated to TV...if it does <i>everyone</i> will talk about it and the loyal radio-day followers (i.e. I ) would not feel smug about knowing wacky news and knowing about this smart show many others don't! :( But glad for Wait Wait. Its about time those folks became greater celebrities. Steve,

Even on <b>NPR</b>, they've got <i>Palinmania</i>, or whatever you want to call it. This morning on <i>Morning Edition</i> they ran a story http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94407512 on McPalin and their exciting "change" agenda, justaposed with another story on Obama's economic policy http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94407515 which made Obama sound like a dull, boring, somewhat depressing policy wonk. (Note I'm not linking these <a href...> because the comments software does something strange with multiple links). Listen to those items and tell me which campaign <i>sounds</i> like the agent of change. Somebody please tell Obama's handlers he's got to stop sounding like Al Gore and more like Barack Obama or he's going to lose. Big time. It's all about perception. As much as I loathe Senator Clinton for her triangulating and conniving duplicity, she probably would have actually been a better choice for Veep and would have made McSame look like a "me too" candidate if/when he picked Palin. This is really getting depressing.

Sarah Palin's first born son is being deployed to the war zone in 2 days and she is still out on the road w/ McCain parroting the same lame jokes she mouthed at the convention? Maybe she just needs a lot of attention from throngs of swooning sheep to make her day. Do I have this right?

If you think going to Harvard qualifies someone as a “solid thinker,” you must not know many people from Harvard, or maybe your thinking is suspect. As long as we’re all linking, how about THIS link, from the Huffington Post’s political intellectual, Adam McKay? He took time off from writing his novel, in Morocco apparently, to fire off this ghostly wail about americans being out of touch, as well as his own prediction of this election's outcome from the perspective of a committed democrat. From Morocco, no less! I wish I had the talent to assess typical american sensibilities all the way from a beach house in Morocco!He is the MAN! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adam-mckay/were-gonna-frickin-lose-t_b_124772.html To Zeke… uh… I saw someone get testy. I didn’t see anyone blowing their stack on your recommended YouTube video. I DO like how you linked to a devoted anti-McCain page, that tells independent thinking democrats which of his posts they should copy and mass email to other democrats. Very effective. Class act. And so relaxed, and smarmy. Perfect attitude for republicans on the fence. A winning strategy. To Karla, yes a mother’s place is in the home. What a progressive democrat you are. Have any carrot-cutting advice? Keep them coming, you intellectually independent democrats! You’re like the reader’s digest condensed version of the Huffington Post! I get twice the laughs in half the time! Now that Olberman has been unceremoniously cast off in shame and humiliation, you guys are all I have left to brighten my day! Aren’t you all glad you all supported his method of reporting? Yes, it may have been bad journalism, but his cause was just, so that makes it all good! Just like waterboarding isn't the best method for interrogation, but our cause is just, and that makes it good too! I'm glad we're starting to converge a little. I thank you, and President McCain thanks you too! Maybe Obama should take up snow machine racing. I'd root for him!

Albeit with some lame troll comments. My advice people, is to ignore them. They are meant to incite and make us feel little and dispirited. To those jerk trolls, I say, $$$$ &&&!
