It was more appropriate than a couple recent comments.

Radar that blog comment is worthless. Anyone with teenage children knows that pic means NOTHING. That could be a perfectly normal pic of any teen girl. And if it really happened, why isn't the unabashedly liberal media all over it?

Stop propagating more bullshit and stfu.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here know what the VP does, day-to-day?
I don't... a rough idea what the VP's duties are, but not the day-to-day routine. I would imagine it amounts to following an itinerary handed to him/her by the staff, and knowing how to act appropriately in each of those situations as they arise.

The TV series West Wing taught me that the VP sits in a dark office all day waiting for Martin Sheen to come in and yell at him.

Radar, unit now I would have pegged you for a man who likes the truth. I would not have pegged you for a man who would use conjecture, rumor and statements that contain the word "may" and "appear", in place of statements of truth and fact. On daily KOS the following statements appear: "But it appears that Pallin's last child, a baby with Down's syndrome, may not be hers. It may be that of her teenage daughter. " I know we've quibbled before of the definition of "is", radar there is a big difference between "is" and "may". I could buy a copy of the National Enquirer for that kind of reporting. I guess I should count my blessings, I got here for free.

So, anybody ask why she was on a commercial flight?

She sold the official state jet on ebay when she took office, for 2.1 million, because she said it was a frivolous expense. Instead, she flies coach.

Know any other state governors who fly coach? Anyone?

McCain's runing mate is a female human widely known as "Pallin".
Apart from that, I am not believing anything I hear about her for the next two weeks. Let the dust settle and the smoke clear first. There's still plenty of time before voting day. A few weeks scrutiny will sort the wheat from the chaff. Or in this case, the plausible PR spin from the outright lies.

And I won't believe anything new I hear in the last week before polling either. Standard trick - trott out some slander at the last moment when there is no opportunity to disprove it.

I'm only cynical if I'm wrong.

I didn't realize, they're letting Aussies vote this time around?
