Is it already time to start doubling the threadcount on a popular topic by starting just as many threads about not starting threads about the popular topic as there are threads about the popular topic? Seems early in the game for this, but whatever. ---

She’s someone nobody really knows shit about and she’s hoping to be the second in line to be most powerful person in the world. Just ignore the first week of idiotic mudslinging and wait until the actual facts come out about her, her policies, and her work. ---

Got no problem with talking about her. Does that mean I have to start a new thread to discuss the choice of her lipstick? Look at GD for gawd’s sakes. ---

I made a joke a few months ago that we needed at least one Obama forum. (And sometimes it still feels that way.) We’ve achieved a comparable level of Palin oversaturation in a little less than a week. ---

I don’t think I’ve seen a single post on the National Enquirer’s rumor about an affair Palin had with the First Dude’s business partner. Sure, it’s the Enquirer, it’s unconfirmed, and the Republicans this year don’t seem to be bothered by McCain’s affairs, but I’d think SOME hay could be made of this. ---
