Sarah Palin plays “so’s your mother!” with McCain campaign staff who accused her of being a simpleton and, worse yet, a discerning shopper. Ever the classy Palin stuck back, “those guys are jerks.”
Some in the republican party are blaming Palin for the loss.  While the choice of Palin as running mate should be high on [...]

It was an interesting weekend. Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama, thugism played it’s hand at McCain and Palin rallies (if these are real Americans then we are indeed in deep trouble), McCain is reduced to name calling and I found pretzel logic useful.
