• I used to believe that “politician” and “opportunist” were synonyms, than along came Barack Obama. His speech at the convention brought up comparisons to Michael Douglas’ President Andrew Shepard, but Obama feels more and more like an Aaron Sorkin creation with the more of him we see. To take the high road, when we heard that Sarah Palin’s daughter was having a baby, is beyond admirable. And we know Barack will let her skate on the real issue at hand, but not because it’s the right thing to do, only because his mom named him “Barack.”
However, I won’t let it slide. How the hell can we even consider allowing this woman to be Vice President when she named her children Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig? You could probably get having a stable full of horses with those names, but not a house full of kids.
• Maybe next time we have a big hurricane, the networks can just send cameramen down to get footage. But please, leave the correspondents in the hotel; we don’t need to hear their constantly interrupted reports of how windy and rainy it is. The camera pretty much says it all, and doesn’t continuously apologize for the storm, you know, making things difficult.
• I just read that the CEO of Overstock, Patrick Byrne believes a “Sith Lord’ is actively working to destroy his company. I wonder how this will affect their stock prices.
