about the biden/palin debate:

am i the only one who finds it completely scary that palin thinks cheney has done a great and proper job with his wacky interpretation of the vice presidency and his belief that the office has super untouchable powers?

(i just did a search: apparently not. but i did want to register my complete aghastness.)

this is what i wish obama or biden would say the next time mccain or palin says "barack obama still won't admit the surge worked."

ok.

fine.

the surge worked.

so let's get out.

let's get out responsibly but quickly. let's get out making sure the iraqis can maintain their freedom, if they want it. but let's get out.

two things:

1. if i ever get a grant, i will blog sometimes. maybe even start a comic strip. i might do it! watch out! it will no longer be two plus years between posts!

2. saint etienne is apparently the ideal grant-writing music for me. grant-writing is the reason that they are, by far, the most played artist on my lastfm profile.

that is all.
