I'm not sure she would recognize it if it walked up to her on the street Schoolhouse Rock style and slapped her for all the shit she's been talking about it behind its back.
That is awesome. Somebody with talent needs to put that in cartoon form for our amusement.
In fact, Sarah Palin LITERALLY wants to change the Constitution, by creating an amendment against gay marriage. So......yes, she's a terrible terrible hypocrite- but we knew this.
@katastic: Did anybody mention to her that she can't change the Constitution by herself? I can guarantee that even if it gets through Congress, she would never get a majority of the states to approve it.
ANA MARIE: Guy behind me: "The first polls close in six days, nine hours, and two minutes."
MEGAN: Ok, Rainman. And where do polls close at 5:30?
Did he (or you) forget about Daylight Saving Time, maybe? Not sure exactly when the comment was said, but that could account for someone being an hour off.
@katelinnea: Yes, thanks to the dumb change they made to DST, thinking it would save energy when in fact, it does absolutely nothing. But that's the Bush Administration for you -- half-assed measures to make it look like they are doing something.
@MegSpencer: It's interesting, because I have mixed feelings about this move. The buying of airtime, which to me- suggests mad money and potential for "elitist" criticism.
@SisterMaryMartha is ready for 2009.: Well, but think of it this way: this money mostly came from small contributions. So it's like the PEOPLE's ad buy. My hope is that the content of the ad reflects this ... like he could spend the bulk of the time doing something like "interviewing" everyday supporters about various planks of his platform and why they will be good for all Americans. That would kick ass.
@SisterMaryMartha is ready for 2009.: Let them criticize. They were late to recognize the potential. And don't tell me the McCain camp would not have done the same thing if the situation was reversed.
Yes, let him have his 30 minutes, because my contributions paid for that 30 minutes, and I want everyone to hear this man and know he is the right choice on Election Day.
May I just state- the Kwame Kilpatrick texts are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. and the woman he had an affair with is pathetically sad. The best part is how after professing his love, and she tearing up her life for him, he never left his wife and also deniedher.
@TaraIncognita: I thought so. But then I love to read nonsensical dirty text messages on government cell phones to staff members. I was entertained. I read it all when the trial was going on. Plus I am serious, she is sadly pathetic. One of the series of texts is about her asking permission to give him a blowjob. Because apparently she wanted to, but was afraid to ask or some nonsense.
@SisterMaryMartha is ready for 2009.: @TaraIncognita: It is SO worth a read. He is a miserable, corrupt, lying, race-baiting rat bastard and I am delighted his ass is going to jail. And this is speaking as a fellow liberal Democrat.
@SisterMaryMartha is ready for 2009.: He needs to lay off the bacon and go for a job every now and then IMO. The Times mentioned that he went around with 21 bodyguards. 21? For what? I know it's Detroit, but I seriously doubt anyone's gonna jack him at a stoplight.
@BeckySharper: No one was going to jack him. He marketed himself as the gangster Mayor, complete with pinstripe suits. A cabal of bodyguards goes with the image.
I waited in line for over 3 hours the other day to vote early. The good thing is that people are voting. But that line was ridiculous. It makes me worry that people are going to see the lines and turn around and go home!
@TheVaginaWig: Oh, and I was disheartened at the number of McCain supporters in line. Also, the number of people voting "yes" on Florida's Amendment 2 (which recognizes marriage as between one man and one woman and takes rights away from ALL unmarried couples, not just same-sex couples).
I wanted to stab things. My mother had to tell me to keep my mouth shut.
@TheVaginaWig: I would really hope that for something like this, people would suck it up and wait. Besides, it's good practice for the upcoming holiday season.
ANA MARIE: Do you think Palin would recognize the Constitution if she saw it? Like, the text? Maybe the part about guns...
MEGAN: I'm not sure she would recognize it if it walked up to her on the street Schoolhouse Rock style and slapped her for all the shit she's been talking about it behind its back.
Also? Any time an editor mentions bacon, ever, at all, I abandon all reason and just start running my mouth about how much I would love an omelette just melting with pools of cheddar with a side of crispy bacon and perfectly-charred toast and a gigantic huge Bloody Mary.
@tscheese: You just had to bring up the inevitable Bloody Mary, didn't you? I am a Jew, so the naughty goodness of bacon, liquor and politics in the morning is a sin worth doin'.
I did not know it was possible for me to like Ana Marie more, but *poof* the manifest bacon wanding did it.
@tscheese: GODDAMN YOU FOR BRINGING UP THE BLOODY MARY! I have wanted one for over a week now and have not managed to have one yet. I may have to do so RIGHT NOW.
@anibundel: I like people who use the phrase, "Second Breakfast."
It figures into a game I play with my son. I take his arm and pretend to eat it and say, "What's for breakfast? BABY! What's for second breakfast? BABY! What's for lunch? BABY!" And so on. Ok, this is lame, but it makes him laugh. And considering that I go through both breakfasts, lunch, teatime, dinner, dessert, and midnight snack...well, it's a welcome distraction.
@tscheese: ZOMG. Simply brilliant. See, this is the way for America to rehabilitate its image on the world stage. Let us wield the soft power of bacon innovation!
I filled out my absentee ballot last night and am sending it in at lunch time. So, another democrat for, um Obama. Also in PA, Jack Wagner is running for Auditor General. Not THE Jack Wagner, but still awesome none the less.
@lucyjae: All I need is just a little more time... to be sure he's not the dude from 80's GH. (I only know this because my babysitter was addicted to soaps.)
@lucyjae: I actually did a double take, as I LOVED Jack Wagner on GH. I was addicted to that show! Rick Springfield, John "weird mullet" Stamos, him. That show was awesome.
Just to be straight - Palin can't nominate herself unless Stevens wins this upcoming election and then steps down or is booted. He has to win first. If Palin did nominate herself after that I think it would be the end of her political career. It's just too transparent.
@demordie: It could work. She just needs a prominent political activist group to publicly demand that she nominate herself. Then she would refuse once, twice, THREE TIMES, whipping the her constituency into a frenzy over her humility and stateswomanliness, until she finally ACCEPTS!
And is stabbed fifty times by the Alaskan State Legislature, and then her nephew Octavian becomes King of Alaska, the end.
The problem with being wanded if you're a smoker is all those little wads of aluminum you pull off the cigarettes set the Secret Service wands off. It does wonders for locating and cleaning out all the tiny corners of every single last pocket, but the process takes 15 embarrassing minutes.

Also, I am sad that COTD can't be awarded to editors, because this would be a lock:
ANA MARIE:Who do you think WILL have a warm relationship with Sen. McCain? Mel Martinez?
MEGAN: Lindsay Graham's love for McCain will never, ever die.
ANA MARIE: No. He will die wearing the wedding dress he picked out.
MEGAN: He will have to be buried in it. I mean, you gotta admit, he does look really fabulous in it.

How about this:
ANA MARIE: Do you think Palin would recognize the Constitution if she saw it? Like, the text? Maybe the part about guns...
