Hey, turnabout is fair play, right?
FWIW, I put the items on this list in a completely different category than the ridiculous BS floating around about Obama (Rezko, he’s a Muslim, a friend of terrorists, blah blah blah)… which, if you want the equivalent for Palin, there’s plenty of really nasty stuff already burbling beneath the binary surface. But when there’s this many...

Noun, Verb, POW (part deux)
JAY LENO: Welcome back, Sen. McCain, for one million dollars, how many houses do you have? (Jay laughs, McCain squirms and chuckles)
JOHN McCAIN: You know, could I just mention to you, Jay, and a moment of seriousness. I spent five and a half years in a prison cell, without—I didn’t have a house, I didn’t have a kitchen table, I didn’t have a table, I didn’t have a chair. And I spent those five and a half years, because—not because I wanted to get a house when I got out.

Watched The Aristocrats again tonight, and seeing Emo Philips made me search the intertubes for my favorite joke of his, officially the Funniest Religious Joke Ever. Still the best… The Best.

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or...

But… is Obama too skinny?
