\ Well, there’s also MY NAME IS EARL over on NBC. Earl is helping some guy yet, inexplicably, it’s backfiring on him! And Joy is trying to become famous but has ended up killing, rather than trapping, a giant boar called Hogzil–excuse me, Pigsquatch. \ ---

No cable, so Fox News/CNN/MSNBC are out. Drink of choice: Started with Baileys & coffee, but I already almost finished it and I don’t have any more Baileys. Will shortly be switching to Leinenkugels Big Butt. ---

If you want to live REALLY dangerously, take a drink every time Palin drops the final “G” from any word ending with “ing.” On second thought, better make that a sip. 😃 ---

Sam Adams Summer Ale, only a week out of date. Hee hee, I have CSPAN on now. Gwen Ifill is in her seat, immobilized by her poor broken ankle. I was hoping to overhear the traditional “Fer Christ’s sake, BEHAVE!!” harangue to the audience, but guess I missed it. Back to Hogzilla. ---

Oh, joy. CNN’s doing the stupid lines again, this time for men and women. Perhaps I’ll change the channel. ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > Not drinking, but glad to be here. I’m on MSNBC because I find Keith Olberman kinda hot… Couldn’t help but notice the Rickroll banner behind Olberman. And away we go. Any minute now. Maybe they should show some trailers of upcoming political ads. ---

Gwen’s jacket doesn’t film well. Here we go… He’s calling her Governor–very appropriate. She’s gonna call 'im Joe. Whatever… Softball question right off. ---

Three seconds in and she is already on my nerves. “Hey, can I call you Joe?” Um… think we could be serious for a bit Ms. Palin? ---

Heh, they blew Pigsquatch up, like in RENO 911 Miami! And they’re off! Gwen’s jacket is the exact color as a swimming pool, very distracting. The VPs to be in black. “Can I call you Joe?” Well now, does he call her Sarah? Nope, Governor. Smart. ---
