Personally, I Preferred Airlock As A VP Choice [Political Science (fiction)]
Yes, yes, we get it already: the Republican Prez/Veep ticket looks just like Colonel Tigh and President Roslin from Battlestar Galactica. In what is either a sign that BSG has achieved cultural critical mass or that at least one of the two Republican nominees to office is actually an alcoholic robot, the similarities between the two pairs seemed to be one of the most common commentaries about McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for Vice President yesterday. We trace the limited lifespan of this meme under the ju

Obama Unimpressed With Crazy Lady Veep Candidate [Sarah Palin]
So what do you do when the curmudgeonly old Republican you're running against for President throws you a curveball and selects a pretty young-ish woman as his running mate?

Sarah Palin's 'Barbarians:' Grizzly stuff
But the folks at Grizzly Bay.org, dedicated to all things grizzly, clearly have no love for Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska named by Sen. John McCain as his running mate. "Gov. Palin wants bears dead,'' the organization declares. The governor is a hunter, though we assume grizzlies are off-limits. The group also quotes the Anchorage Daily News from September of 2007 as suggesting that "Palin works hard to cripple the eco-tourism industry in Alaska.'' Whatever the merits of thei

Barack Obama Responds To John McCain’s VP Choice, Sarah Palin
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same.” Share: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
