- i.e. does she or doesn't she know what the Bush Doctrine is? Did he support sex-ed legislation for kindergardeners? Has he been slinging too much mud recently?
hmmm I feel like I'm missing someone here......lets see: Palin (covered), Obama (covered), McCain (covered).....oh thats right; did he gaffe when he admitted that Obama made the wrong choice for VP in giving him the nod over her? Biden and Clinton (covered)
So how about I just go through the checklist of all the things I'm obligated to discuss,before digressing into a non political obsession I want to discuss (yes yes there is another).
1) Talk about Sarah Palin in her first interview since being nominated as McCains VP.
Didn't seem very comfortable. Seems vulnerable to attack on her experience and knowledge of issues. Impressed by Charlie Gibson's interviewing style and professionalism

2) Mention Obama coming out with fresh ads attacking McCain.
Nice to finally see Obama in all his angelic platitudes, coming down to earth and rolling in the political mud (no pun intended) like every politician (regardless how "lofty") eventually does. Afterall mudslinging is as much a part of the world of Washington, as E=Mc2 is a part of the world of physics.

3) Share thoughts on Hurricane Ike.
I hate to be the one to articulate aloud what most people tend to think quietly, but i'm afraid its my duty in this venue to do so.
Like many, I stayed up watching hurricane coverage all night - and as like most, I tend to say things like "I hope its not as bad as expected" OR "our prayers are with the people of the region" AND "lets hope the destruction and damage is limited", blah blah blah - when in fact what everyone is truly thinking, but are afraid to say out loud is that we secretly want to see Anderson Cooper sent flying by a big gust of wind, Geraldo Rivera being swept up by a surging wave, or Sanjay Gupta getting smacked in the head by flying debris as they all ironically discuss the dangers associated with not heeding the advice of experts who have repeatedly reiterated the importance of fleeing town.

4) Discuss Wall Street melt down.
I Feel bad for the everyday investor and employee who is suffering as a direct result of Lehman's mistakes, but shamefully can't help but get a sense of glee when seeing an executive walking out the Lehman door with his box of personal belongings just 6 months after he deposited that most recent 10 million dollar bonus check.!
OK, I think I officially covered my responsibilities as a political blog.
Now to the real important topic of the day:
Much to the dismay and intense disagreement of others, I think these charges against Orenthal James are trumped up and bogus!
Robbery? Burglary? Kidnapping? Intent to cause harm with a deadly weapon?....are you kidding???
Immediately after he left the hotel room (after taking back his personal belongings that were stolen from him), the "victims" were on tape laughing and joking around about how much money they were about to get by selling their stories to the tabloids. Every single one of the "victims" has a wrap sheet longer than Mike Piazza's home runs at Dodger Stadium in his rookie year. Yale Gollanter's cross of these shady characters will be something to watch!
On a more serious note:
We are going through the type of financial crisis the likes we have not seen in many years. How is it possible that neither candidate can come out with a comprehensive plan or even an attempted solution for fixing things?
They Say Obama is really really smart, they say McCain is really really experienced.....yet now in their first presidential test, when either has golden chance to break away, they are both dropping the ball on this profound opportunity.
hmmm.....Nader '08?
