Celebrity magazine, OK! Magazine, is reporting that Palin may make a surprise cameo appearance on "Saturday Night Live" tonight, alongside her separated-at-birth look-alike, Tina Fey, who spoofed Palin two weeks ago in the season premiere of the sketch comedy show.
OK! Magazine reported on its Web site on Wednesday that "sources close to the show" said Palin was considering making a surprise cameo on the program, and that Tina Fey would reprise her impersonation of the Republican vice presidential nominee. The magazine also said security for Gov. Palin conducted a walk-through of the Rockefeller Center studio on Wednesday in anticipation of the possible appearance.

Lorne Michaels' $2300 to McCain last year is paying off.
Evening blogwhore: apparently John McCain's ties to Indian gaming profited his top advisors (big shocker). And I wonder what the wingnut right would say were it Barack Obama hitting the casinos for "weekend gambling sprees" -- especially when he serves on the committee overseeing those same casinos.
well, that's a very interesting question. exclusively federal criminal defense (white collar and big drug cases) was what i did at my previous job. but my law school work, which was less than 5 years ago, was international, copyright, entertainment, information security, and internet law. i've done a couple of trademark applications, a franchise agreement, and done some research in preparation of a section 1983 case and a civil RICO case.
so, I guess you could say it's a little all over the map, but the truth is: i didn't know a thing about federal criminal before my previous job and i became a principal at the firm within 3 years, so I'm a quick study. (do potential employers take time to find that out? no; they run away at the word "criminal"...)
why do you ask?

You all will be shocked by this... I know I was....
"McCain never showed up at Capitol Hill for bailout negotiations today.
After declaring he’d return to Washington to help with the bailout negotiations immediately after last night’s debate, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) never went to Capitol Hill today. In fact, McCain stayed largely holed up in his Arlington apartment, leaving only to go to his campaign headquarters just around the block, the New York Times reports:
Asked why Mr. McCain did not go to Capitol Hill after coming back to Washington to help with negotiations, [McCain adviser] Mr. Salter replied that “he can effectively do what he needs to do by phone.’’"
Gary QOS, well, she's emotionally a mess, as is her current bf. He has been sticking by her, although he finally collapsed from being awake for nearly 3 days straight and went home to sleep. I encouraged her to get some sleep. She has a very nice roommate at the hospital.

Freakshow. We just put on the crappy 2006 King Arthur (mostly for work) in which Guinevere is a blue Scot chick.
It is an interesting and entertaining movie. The interpretation is as good as anyone else's and maybe better than most. The idea of Arthur being Roman is at least historically possible. The idea of the knights being from that area is also historically possible.
So, why not?
(I was thinking of writing in this area but I dunno - the transition from paganism to Christianity is a fascinating one but . . . The only source we have for Arthur being Christian is a Bishop/Scholar named Geoffry of Monmouth from the 10th Century who wrote a book chronicling the history of the kings of England. He is hardly an unbiased source.

Hi everybody!

I will love it when he's elected.
We will have health care, and green jobs, and everything will be peachy.
While he is busy escalating the war of error and slaughtering large numbers of innocent Afghans in the other illegal war of occupation, I will turn a blind eye and ignore the atrocities because liberals don't do those sorts of nasty things.

There's a wingnut in my writer's group and we had our monthly meeting this morning. We talked about the debates (his wingnutty enough that he said he's going to wear a gas mask into the voting booth to push the button for McCain) ... when I asked him what he thought of the debates he said:
"YOU JUST DON"T GET IT."
Apparently that little line, which McCain tossed out over and over again, resonated with the base. Because (according to my wingnut colleague) that is what they think of Obama: that he DOESN'T GET IT.
But I had no clue what he was talking about. So I don't know how much that phrase resonated beyond the 19%.

"In my initial reaction last night, I wrote that while I thought the debate was basically a draw, that amounted to a narrow win for Obama since foreign policy is supposed to be John McCain's forte. Now, after half a day, with more time to think about it and the benefit of seeing initial polling data and surveying other people's reactions, I'm only confirmed in that view.
In fact, I think it was a much bigger win for Obama than I was ready to figure last night. And that's for two basic reasons.
First, the pattern in the 2000 and 2004 presidential debates was essentially this: the Democrat generally won each debate on points and even in the snap polls of undecided voters. But there was usually some remark or bit of affect that -- ludicrous or not -- right-wing commentators and yakkers fixed in on and were able to parlay into the dominating conversation of the next few days. In this way, strong debate performances turned into weak debate performances.
I'm not seeing anything like that this time. Mainly that's because Obama just didn't make any mistakes. But I suspect it's also because there's now more meta-media parity between right and left." http://talkingpointsmemo.com/arc...ives/

Pretty much. I think I found about four or five other mentions of him. Merlin is actually more historical than Arthur.
If you really want to get into some weird and fascinating research the Tor at Glastonbury and the Glastonbury area in general are rife with superstition and historical/mystical connotations with everything from being the site of Avalon to the burial place of Arthur to the location of the Holy Grail (in an underground grotto called the Grail Grotto) and the site where Joseph of Aramethea brought the grail after the crucifixtion.

After listening to Barack talk about National security, the wars and the economy on the Letterman show a couple of weeks ago I knew swing voters and undecided voters would start warming up to him once they hear him talk at the debates.
He unmistakenly appears to be the real deal. He comes across as a very thoughtful, intelligent, compassionate man. A man with class and sound judgement. This is what the swing voters and undecideds will see in the next two debates also while McCain will appear as...John McCain, old, angry, out of touch, shoot from the hip, POW who likes to boast about being a maverick but his voting record just doesn't jibe with that.

Yesterday, Google also took the unusual step of jumping in, noting that because it has a “great diversity of people and opinions” at the company, it rarely takes “a position on issues outside of our field, especially not social issues”:
However, while there are many objections to this proposition — further government encroachment on personal lives, ambiguously written text — it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8. While we respect the strongly-held beliefs that people have on both sides of this argument, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality. We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 — we should not eliminate anyone’s fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love.

Apparently Obama accidentally called John McCain "Jim" and "Tom" as well, according to my wingnutty colleague. I'm sure one was an accident as he was addressing Jim Lehrer, and the other was related to McCain's Tom Coburn remark. Frankly, I never noticed either one.

Question:What the hell is up with McCain and the rest of the republicans when they all say "We must stop giving money to countries who don't like us very much"
What the hell is the difference between a country that doesn't like us and a country that doesn't like us very much? One just straight out hates us while the other gives our leaders handjobs under the table once in a while????

I find it surprising that Marshall didn't mention the obvious. There was a bit of affect to fixate on, but this time it was the Republican.
The story of the debate is that John McCain is an angry, nasty old man.

I'll confess to being puzzled myself. Lack of eye contact was the small-issue big deal, but directed at the bad guys this time.
Did the Republicans forget to bribe the media, or what?

Via AP:
The spokeswoman for the Republican Party in Nevada's most populous county was fired Saturday, after she said the Democratic Party made black people "dependent on the government."
Didi Lima, the Clark County GOP communications director, also was removed from her volunteer role as a Hispanic community liaison for Republican John McCain's presidential campaign over the remarks made earlier in the day while working at a McCain campaign booth.
"We don't want (Hispanics) to become the new African-American community," Lima told The Associated Press. "And that's what the Democratic Party is going to do to them, create more programs and give them handouts, food stamps and checks for this and checks for that. We don't want that."
"I'm very much afraid that the Democratic Party is going to do the same thing that they did with the African-American culture and make them all dependent on the government and we don't want that," she said.
In August, Lima was named co-chair of McCain's Nevada Hispanic Leadership Team, which aimed to reach out to a crucial voting bloc in a state where polls show McCain in a dead heat with Barack Obama.
"Didi Lima is no longer a part of this campaign, her comments don't reflect Senator McCain's beliefs and are not tolerated on his campaign," McCain spokesman Rick Gorka said after learning about her remarks.
Sallyh, I'm not ignoring the news about your daughter-I'm just dumbfounded and don't know what to say that can help. Can you get her into a facility for a few weeks, give her a chance to get her head together away from bad influences?

John McCain has been arrogantly biting the media hand that's been feeding him all these years, trying to dictate to them how he and Palin should be covered, and they've responded by starting to push back. A humongous mistake on the part of the little dictator.
Moreover, as his prospects for victory fade, their will be more piling on against him in the media.
No one wants to be seen backing a loser.

I did enjoy the movie but I kept wondering why the knights never took their armor off. I mean, these guys were even trying to have sex with their armor on. It did not make sense. They put the armor on when they were going to fight. They didn't just walk around in it.
Aside from that, it was an excellent movie.

A big-boned beauty who leads with her jaw, Ms. Knightley looks pretty as a Gainsborough picture in and out of her silks and satins, but she’s not a remotely composed one. Though now 23, she still tends to throw herself around the room like one of those jangling adolescent girls who, arms and legs pinwheeling, heads bobbing like Halloween apples, have yet to adjust to their newly sprouted bodies. (Modigliani would have loved the willowy bend of her neck if he could have persuaded her to stop fidgeting.) She’s not much of an actress — she pops her eyes instead and thrusts out her chest — but she doesn’t need to be Helen Mirren if she can cultivate a real screen presence. Stillness would become her, as would a good director.

"It is hard for us, without being flippant, to even see a scenario within any kind of realm of reason that would see us losing one dollar in any of those transactions."
— Joseph J. Cassano, a former A.I.G. executive, August 2007
Two weeks ago, the nation’s most powerful regulators and bankers huddled in the Lower Manhattan fortress that is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, desperately trying to stave off disaster.
As the group, led by Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr., pondered the collapse of one of America’s oldest investment banks, Lehman Brothers, a more dangerous threat emerged: American International Group, the world’s largest insurer, was teetering. A.I.G. needed billions of dollars to right itself and had suddenly begged for help.
Gee, don't you just hate it when that happens?

First the Palin wedding. I'll give the bride away. She's not my daughter, but what the hell. I'm the original maverick, I'm calling the shots here, and my friends, we don't need any more debates.

All of the above and then some.

I don't think she'd have been a finalist in the wet T shirt contest.

Sally: I am so sorry to learn of this setback in your daughter's journey to sobriety--sadly and inexplicably. these things happen--know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
I personally know what this does to families and as you are well aware, you are not alone and many of us understand what you are going through and are only to happy to give you a hand.
Somedays, it is a minute at a time---peace.

My fellow DFH's:
I was wrong this week. I was wrong to go to a "debate watching party" instead of spending the evening where I knew I belonged - on my couch, in front of my teebee, with my laptop on my lap, and sharing the experience with all of you. If CoT was brilliant I don't want to know because I missed it and can never regain those wonderful moments.
I was wrong, and I'll never make that mistake again. I bow before you in shame.

It's about time to revive the North Vietnamese film of Mr. McCain confessing to war crimes.
Or the rumored films of Mr. McCain boinking assorted North Vietnamese hookers.
Or the Keating 5 depositions.

It's OK for McCain to endlessly refer to his imprisonment but not his confessions, forced or not!
Can you imagine the furor in 2004 if Kerry had been captured and 'confessed' to being a war criminal.

Good to hear, my ancient mom is there for a week or so. Niece is spawning another. Baby sister finally got her out of the house. Dad died 1/08, mom has been going nuts, escalating a feud with older sis.

If you haven't seen the 4 part series "The Century of the Self" by Adam Curtis, do.
I'd recommend just about everything he's done--a unique view on the organization of industrial society. About the one I cannot yet recommend is "The Living Dead," simply because I've not been able to find it.

Not only did Ms. Fey keep her promise, all she had to do was directly quote from (and slightly embroider) the Couric interview, and was Pure. Comedy. Gold.
Okay, I can go to bed happy now.

Given the fact that SNL is never very brave about bucking the conventional wisdom, I'm taking it that tonight's show means that two things have become CW:
1) McCain will pull any stunt to get elected.
2) Sarah Palin is a fucking idiot.
Would've been nice if they'd focused on McCain's surliness in the debate sketch as well, though.

Hey, why doesn't Fey run for VP? She has executive experience (executive producer of 30 Rock), and her mother is from Greece, so she has foreign policy expertise too.

Two questions:
Everytime I hear John McCain refer to himself (or his new little friend)as a maverick I think one of us isn't sure of the the proper meaning of this term. According to my copy of the Random House Dictionary, the first meaning of a maverick is "an unbranded calf, cow or steer, especially a motherless calf". That doesn't sound right, does it? Surely he's not referring to Sarah (lipstick on a pig/pitbull) Palin as a cow? Then I thought maybe I'm not hearing him right. Instead of "maverick", maybe he's saying "man, I'm rickity". That sounds more plausible to me. Any other possibilities?

Sorry, I forgot the second question. Does anyone know who Sarah Palin hired to perform at the wedding? I'm thinking it's either Billy Idol(Rock the Cradle of Love, and, of course, Off-White Wedding) or Georgia Satellite (Keep Your Hands to Yourself). Personally, I'd go with the Darlin' Family from the old Andy Griffith Show.
