So, yeah. Things are looking good for Obama right now. Being a life long Red Sox fan I can never quite get excited when my team is winning. The threat of sudden loss is always looming the corners. Waiting for me to look away to high five someone so it can sneak in and kick the ball through Buckner's legs again. But right now, a little too far out for me to get too excited, Obama has a nice solid lead. Of course it should be even bigger but the intense and growing rage of the Republicans is somehow keeping them from admitting that their political pairing for the highest office in the land sucks in a pretty unbelievable fashion. So much so that even Christopher Hitchens (Alcoholic, Athiest and Lady-Hater of Great Renown) and Christopher Buckley (Hawkish right-wing mirror of his father William F.) have announced that they are going to vote for Obama. Surely the God of the Republican party is quaking with maddening rage at this announcement. Will this spark outrage? Will there be "Don't drink the Buckley Kool-Aid! NOBAMA!" shirts? Three weeks out. Please don't implode!
My friend Alex sent me this video from Boing Boing. John Cleese speaking the plain truth about Sarah Palin.
I fucking love John Cleese. He's a hilarious dude. He wrote the following poem which was read on Countdown with Keith Olberman very recently.
Ode to Sean Hannity
by John Cleese
Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
Hannity
