...at the direction of unrepentant terrorist Bill Acorn, Buddhist Democratic candidate Barack O'Leary, who is not eligible to run for President on account of the fact that his birth certificate says he was born in Europe, instructed a voter registration group known as Filbert to conspire with the Iraqi government to give risky loans to black people, which has caused the nihilistic practice of the U.S. government bailing out Walmart, which is especially bad when you consider the fact that Tony Rezko, who is currently in prison for letting gay men and women get married in Kenya, is trying to force them to unionize, a practice that maverick Sarah Palin said "No, thank you" to as mayor of Alabama when she wasn't steadfastly monitoring whether or not Vladimir Preston was or was not rearing his head out from Mexico, which we need to build a wall around, because the mostest importantest thing to the U.S. Americans is who is going to pick our orange juice for $50 an hour, which we can't do on account of the fact that Raila Odinga wants to tax not just the RICH, but the Sexual Education Class for kindergartners, which is why YOU MUST VOTE for What's-His-Name, who ABSOULTELY AND COMPLETELY has a plan to catch Harry Pelosi, and whom Republicans only nominated because the rest of their candidates were total ball-sacks.

Miscegenation:

The term "miscegenation" has been used since the nineteenth century to refer to interracial marriage and interracial sex, and more generally to the global process of racial admixture that has taken place since the Age of Discoveries, particularly through the European colonization of the Americas and the Atlantic slave trade.

Historically the term has been used in the context of laws banning interracial marriage and sex, so-called anti-miscegenation laws.

It is therefore a loaded word and is considered offensive by many.

My 6 year-old daughter, Josephine, REFUSES to learn to ride her bicycle, mostly because the act of doing so doesn't make any sense to her.

How is it possible that she can balance and steer and turn and start herself by herself without falling -- SMACK -- on the asphalt.

"You're not going to let go of me, right? Right? You'll hold on? And you'll run with me, right? You promise you won't let me fall and even if I fall you won't let me be hurt? Promise? Promise PROMISE?"

I try and assure her, as best I can that its going to be alright, but we keep ending up getting emotional... and frustrated... and angry with each other because I CAN'T actually "promise PROMISE" she won't get hurt and she can't seem to imagine the possibility that she can DO something she's never done before.

Faith. It all comes down to faith.

And so the two of us struggle along... me running and holding and catching and trying my best to tell her it will someday happen, even though both of us are starting to believe that its NEVER GOING TO--

Wait. Oh. Oh... Hang on...

John McCain, at the FIRST Presidential debate (as reiterated on his campaign website)...

"Therefore, as president, I will impose a one-year spending freeze on every agency of the federal government, excepting only national defense, the care of our veterans, and a few critical priorities.

Leadership requires candor. And I will tell you bluntly that America is ten trillion dollars in debt, and to make our economy strong we must reduce the burden of federal spending."

The end of inequality and institutionalized hatred, at least where California is concerned, can be achieved in the righteous and hopefully overwhelming defeat of PROPOSITION 8, formally titled the "I So Much Hate Teh Gays Act*", but more widely referred to in my household as the...

"Though My Name Is Steve I Seem To Get An All Hot And Bothered In My 'Nether Regions Whenever OTHER Steves Are Nearby And Since I Am Deeply Ashamed Of My Own Truth, I Need To Punish These Other Steves By Making It Look Like I So Much Hate Teh Gays Act"*.

So, from The National Review we have this gem from Rich Lowry...

A very wise TV executive once told me that the key to TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O'Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.

St. Louis, Missouri: In an effort to prove that she can be an impartial moderator, PBS' Gwen Ifil has released the text of the questions she plans to ask Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin early and gone so far as to format her queries in a fashion that is likely to make the Alaskan Governor more comfortable.

Or, translated, XLI or 41, which is the amount of days left until the election.

What?!? Only 41 days?!? Scary?

Nope.

Because we gots ourselves a plan to vote...
