Listen, I’m only like 8 weeks old, but If I had known back when I started this blog what I know now, I mean the world might be a whole lot different. First, that damn bouncy seat and gentle vibes vibrator. Let me say I hate them both now. I know now that they were just the adult world’s way of keeping me oppressed, they lulled me into some false sense of comfort and now I hate them. I mean, while in the bouncy seat I actually thought I might accept Sarah Palin as VP…whoa! Meanwhile all along they were hiding something from me called a swing. I might have to check that out, much more high tech and I feel less shackled in there.
Alright, so I know you are all waiting for my debate review. Let me just say this…I watched, it was boring and even though I think Sarah was winking right at me, I’m still not voting for her. Biden, usual blathering from him, full command of the issues and the English language…both skills I value highly in a VP. Palin, my God, how about answering a question? “Governor do you support carbon emission caps?” “Why yes. But now I want to talk about hockey moms, joe six-pack (who I think she really believes exists somewhere), and sitting around kitchen tables and oh yea, did I mention I was once in the PTA?” Nice work Governor, don’t answer any questions and just say what you want unchecked by the media. The highlight of the night for me? When asked what she thought she would do as the VP, she responded that she was happy that the framers of the Constitution had made the VP office “flexible” so that she could be in the legislative and executive branches. HELLO? NO THEY DIDN’T (my apologies to Dick Cheney and all) but the VP is clearly an executive position, its in Article I of the Constitution which defines the executive branch. Look she can break a tie in the senate every once and a while, but that’s about it. Has she even read the Constitution or does she just read the talking points about the Constitution?
If you missed the debate, go to www.hulu.com and check out the SNL spoof. It wasn’t so spoofy, in fact many of the questions and answers were almost verbatim from the debate. (I would have posted the sketch here from youtube, but NBC Universal already took it down from Youtube to drive traffic to Hulu)
That’s enough about the hockey mom, pit bull with lipstick. How about some random thoughts, not from that prison cell formerly known as the bouncy seat:
TV #1: I told you all to watch Boston Legal this season because David Kelley was back writing. So far this season they have taken on big tobacco, big pharma, the age of the right to vote, and privatization of prisons. I mean, WOW.
TV #2: Gossip Girl: Finally, what we all were waiting for, S tells Queen B to go eff herself if she can’t be her true friend. Lil J quits high school to go work in a sweat shop for Queen B’s mom and in the process tells her dad that he wasn’t that talented of a 90’s musician and was basically a 1 hit wonder. Oh yeah, she also tells him that she has more talent in her little finger then he ever will. Nice. Good luck with that GED Lil J, or is it a spinoff you’re looking for?
Sports #1: Cubs lose? Yeah the team with the best record in the NL goes down hard to Torre’s Dodgers. Guess it’ll be another off season with Cub fans scratching their heads and wondering what if?
Sports #2: Eagles: Some over at ESPN.com had picked this team as the sleeper pick for the super bowl. Oh, they’re sleeping alright. Hey Andy Reid – How about some goal line offense?
Politics #1: The Washington Post reported today that McCain is going to have to go negative and personal against Obama now. Really? Because they haven’t been negative and personal until now?!? Guess that’s why Palin said yesterday that Obama pals around with terrorists (Bill Ayers).
Finance #1: Now that the bailout has passed and is signed, I’m still taking my investing advice from the e*trade baby, I mean he’s older and more experienced then me, and says that there are some good bargains out there:
Thats it for this week. And to all my baby friends out there, remember fight the power of the bouncy seat! PEACE!

You mean Joe Six-Pack is NOT some uber-american action hero that is going to rescue the economy, lead us on the path to energy independence, cut taxes, and beat down terrorists all over the world?
Next they’ll tell us that Elmo pals around with monsters.
