I understand that this clip isn't as funny as the Palin-Clinton sketch, but watch it. Watch all the way through the really, really awkward parts.



Now, a lot of that was excruciating. Because half of it was directly quoted from the Couric interview.

Look, the bailout thing? I get it. It's complicated. We're not sure what the right step is, even as we move quickly to do what we hope will fix it all. However, the least I ask of the people who want to be put in charge of things is that someone types them up a cheat-sheet in near-grammatical English, not LOLcat. No, really. I don't care if she just said, "I think the bailout should happen because rich people should never have to pay for being fiscally irresponsible." At least that would be with the ENGLISH-making.

The one good thing that has happened in all this mess is that I've become reasonably politically aware thanks to my inability to stop gawking at this trainwreck.

That's what it is, too. I cannot figure out, however, how something can be bodies-on-the-ground, massive-destruction-all-around bad and people are still undecided whom to vote for. gah.

I am still terrified to find out who my mom's voting for. I really do not know how I could reconcile the idea of my mother as a reasonable and decent human being with the idea that she might still vote for McCain after all this.

I am so there with you!
I was feeling very uneducated about this election but between Palin and trying to find out if McCain can tell the truth I found myself the other night reading Michelle Obama's thesis

Actually it was really good regarding being a young black female at Princeton and how if at all attending a predominantly white University changes their goals and what they want to achieve between admission and graduation "Princeton-educated blacks and the Black Community"

I was hearing this from the boyfriend:
