i will throw my two cents in.

today is a sad day in history.  sadder, even, than G-Dub’s last day in the white house.  why?  because no longer will we be able to look forward to such gems as this from sarah palin’s resignation:

“We know we can effect positive change outside government at this moment in time on another scale and actually make a difference for our priorities.”

/sigh

i can only hope she really does run for prez in 2012.  she’s better fodder than bushisms.

thank god for amy poehler on snl…

found evidence that democrats kick tech arse this year on gizmodo:

Democrats Still Most Tech Savvy, Rent Digital Billboard to Text Message Sarah Palin at Rally

after news of gov. palin’s teen daughter’s pregnancy broke, i thought to myself (and to erin), i hope obama doesn’t use this. it’s typical to go for the groin shot in politics, use an advantage like a teenage pregnancy in the family (or a wife’s alchoholism, or whatever) to drag your opponent’s name in the mud.  if barack is everything he says he is, he wouldn’t stoop to those tactics.  well, fox news (!!) reports that obama says palin’s family is off limits, citing his own mom’s 18 years when she had him.

thank god.  this just goes to confirm my beliefs that obama is, in fact, awesome.
