A DailyKos blogger presents a year-by-year break down of Palin & Obama resumes. It has an unashamedly liberal bias, but then again–to paraphrase Stephen Colbert–so does reality.

- 14:32 17-year-old Bristol Palin is 5-months pregnant. I could eat this drama with a SPOON. #
- 14:35 *munches popcorn, watching the McCain camp implode* #

I finally contributed macros to ontd_political’s Shenanigans Friday! I love Shenanigans Friday so much.
And woah. Just spotted McCain’s Patronizing “Congratulatory” Message to Obama
“How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day”? Here, McCain, I fixed it for you: “How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day concerning a man who I once voted against honoring with a national holiday.”
Also, the “achievement of our opponent” was “noticed” by 38.4 million people, nearly a fourth of US households–more than the opening ceremonies of the Olympics and the American Idol finals. It is believed to have set a TV record. I’d like to see you fill a stadium with eighty thousand-plus passionate supporters, or make the Democratic equivalent of Pat Buchanan gush so profusely over the content of a speech you wrote that he had to be forcibly interrupted for time constraints. “Unnoticed.” Ha.
Oh, and next time you want to look sincere, hire a better acting coach. And a lighter that won’t make you look like you’re filming in a cave.
No love,
Priscilla

India’s poor urged to ‘eat rats’
And an even more brain-injuring political move: A McCain advisor seeks to solve the health care crisis through semantics. I did a double-take, convinced I was reading an Onion analogue.

Four years ago, I posted the following in my blog:
Barack Obama. WOW, how awesome was he tonight? I had never heard of him before. Now I want to move to Illinois just to be able to vote for him.
How soon can he run for President?
Oh, four-years-ago me.
That time is right now.
