there have been a lot of those density v. transit comparos lately. glad to see that we're on the right side of the line...

By their proximity, are you suggesting a link between the last two items?

Funny you should say that, Reid: I had a mild attack of inability-to-stay-on-one-line dyslexia when I first read this, and saw "Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden exposed himself to them as they walked home from school."

(I half expect that last quote to appear in a Palin-McCain ad within 48 hours.)

Vice Presidential candidate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has been getting more and more negative responses from the mainstream media. Palin made a late-night entertainment debut on NBC’s long-running pop culture mainstay, Saturday Night Live. Instead of getting the positive response she’d expected for being a good sport, she was severely criticized for her appearance by the press. For several weeks, hits and blows have been thrown out at Palin, condemning everything she does and questioning her performance, not only as the Governor of Alaska, but as a possible VP for the United States of America. They have even enlarged the story of her seventeen-year old daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock to use as another weapon against the Vice Presidential candidate. Some in the media, including many liberal experts, are insinuating that our country will crumble if Palin was forced to take over the office if anything should happen to Presidential hopeful, Senator John McCain. In contrast to the across-country belief, a large number of people have distinguished all of the low-blowing character attacks and lies relayed about Palin, appreciating the good work she has done and continues to do for the children and people of special needs, and her support of the disabled demographic in general. Many more are in favor of the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate, considering her support for personal responsibility and financial freedom. This includes her contest against the obliteration of cash advances, a legitimate resource that many responsible, hard-working citizens have relied on to avoid the cycle of debt many of us are facing because of the lack of financial support during unforeseen events.
