More on Palin
Honestly? I don’t care if she’s got relatively zero experience, and was obviously only chosen by McCain in a desperate bid to grab disaffected Hillary supporters and to shore up his Evangelical cred.
My biggest problem is that I really don’t need to see another TheoCon Dominionist nutbag anywhere near the government of my country, ever again.
The *REAL* News from Yesterday…..

Biden: We might pursue criminal charges against Bush.
First reported by ABC, but lost in the noise, Joe Biden said yesterday that an Obama administration could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November:
“If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued […] Not out of vengeance, not out of retribution — out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no attorney general, no president — no one is above the law.”
Not nearly as “newsworthy” as Romney raging against “Eastern Elites”, Giuliani doing his Mussolini lisp about “cosmopolitans” and Hillary Quayle Sarah Palin braying about her experience as the mayor of an 8,000-person town, but I think it might merit some coverage…..
