Weekend Update - September 6th

• First off, let's make this absolutely clear. Republican honchos have NOT been discussing how to bump the embarrassing Sarah Palin off the ticket. Got it?


• Right-wing politics got you down? Accidently tuned into the RNC'08 and couldn't turn away until you gagged? Mark Morford thinks you look angry.


• If anything can sum up the charm of Sarah Palin, the moose-hunting Governor of Alaska and now the Republican Party’s vice-presidential nominee, it is perhaps the nickname she gave her husband, Todd: “First Dude”. So just how perfect is he?


• Do NOT watch this. It's disrespectful and silly. Don't watch this one either. Or this one.


• We probably should discuss briefly Sarah Pralin's religious upbringing, hell it's fair game for the anti-Obama people. Okaaaay, in addition to Third Wave and New Apostolic Reformation, it is also referred to by the names of some of its more extreme theologies, such as Joel's Army and Manifest Sons of Destiny. Its roots are in a revival of the manifestations and beliefs of the New Order of Latter Day Rain. What? And among other things her church believes you can "pray away the gay." Oh brother.


• Fake troops, fake funerals, all for the glory of sanitized war. John McCain just keeps Wagging That Dog.
