In the end, its about John McCain
… and how he is 23 years older than the state of Alaska.
so, why?
For the past year-and-a-half or so, she has been governor of a state with a shade over 600,000 people — which is to say, the size of Columbus, Ohio. Is Michael B. Coleman ready to be president?
Nice work, Ezra.
Can we chat for a minute about how there are plenty of qualified Republican women (more Democratic, but that’s not the point today) out there. Republican women who would...

Way to go McCain.
More in fashion from the democratic party
Showing that they are just as forward-thinking in their fashion as they are policies, The Obama Family broke away from yesterday’s “it” color of “Unity Blue” to a daring purple-pink. From Barack’s tie to the sash on Malia’s dress the Obama family showed America fashion houses that they are willing to combine “unity blue” with “opposition...
Boyfriend (coming home from a baseball game): So, how was the speech?
Joy: Amazing. Generation-defining.
Boyfriend: I dont know, I have seen some great speeches
Joy: this was better.
Boyfriend: better than what?
Joy: everything. life. I want him to win with every inch of my body. It was one of the greatest things I have experienced
Boyfriend: was it better than sex?
Joy: so. much. better

… someday my children are going to ask me about this night. I am proud to say I saw history made tonight.
what is your John McCain tax break?
Are you “Fiscally Conservative” but “Socially Liberal?” Maybe just a little worried about what this Obama fella is going to do with your taxes?
Check out this site to see what your taxes will actually look like under both the Obama and McCain plans. Turns out if you make anything less than $250,000 a year (and if you make more than that, call me), Obama will cut your taxes...
on crossing lines
erica: I keep wanting to send [redacted] dirty emails. I think I might be ovulating. Joy: tell him to come over and do dirty things to you in your office elevators Erica: I sent him the McCain article you sent and he wrote back, what a nasty prick McCain has become. I keep wanting to write back with a pun on “nasty prick…” Joy: put your nasty prick in my Cindy McCain? erica: ew! Joy:...

election08:
Senator John McCain has chosen his VP and will notify his choice on Thursday. He’s scheduled to announce it Friday morning in Ohio. It’s bound to leak on Thursday. As the McCain campaign hopes in order to step on Obama’s acceptance speech. That’s a pretty grimy move, but not unexpected.
The New York Times says it’s either Romney, Pawlenty or Lieberman. Aren’t they [NY Times]...

Damn straight he is.
Kudos to Bill for stepping up and going above and beyond what he needed to do. I’m proud of you, Bill.

one-way ticket to crazy town
Joy: It’s a pity that Kucinich has taken so many trips to Crazy Town that now he doesn’t really get any respect.
Liam: yes, and it’s even worse than the band crazy town.
Joy: Oh, I don’t know. I really like them. I own all of their records.
Liam: good for you, Joy, good for you
Joy: yeah, and I go to all their concerts
Liam: you look like that type
Joy: what? I look like awesome?

CONFIRMED: Aaron Sorkin writing Facebook movie for Sony, Scott Rudin
How do you “show” (rather than tell) the Zuckerberg story? Just throw a bunch of iChat windows up there on the big screen?
OMG, F my life. And F the fact that I will totally see this movie. And F the fact that facebook matters as much as The West Wing and Sports Night. F, F, F.
HRC
So. Good. I almost just don’t have the words to go into how amazing she was tonight. CNN said that she was “consciously feminist.” They framed it as being a good, positive thing. Did tonight put more cracks in the glass ceiling than the combined effort of the rest of the primary season?
God bless 19th Amendment Day
Things that will change if John McCain is...
All State Dinners will start at 4 p.m.
The “3 a.m. call” can’t come after 8 p.m.
McCain will check the mailbox when someone tells him to check his “inbox”
All stimulus packages will be sent through the U.S. postal service, in cash, in a card and in $5 increments
Each American will receive a call from the department of Health and Human Services asking if they’ve taken their vitamins today...
the end of days, part 2
Second day in a row where I agree with something Chris Matthews said. So if we were going to take this on a biblical scale, then we have cruised right past the earthquake and should expect locusts to decend any time now. What’s that I hear? The pitter-patter of horsemens’ hooves?
on being poor.
Spencer Pratt makes $65k for each episode of The Hills in which he appears. I dont make $65k in an entire year.
Fuck my life.

Jeff: are you still working on that meth campaign?
Joy: um, what?
Jeff: those PSAs
Joy: I was never working on them, I just found them hilarious
Jeff: oh, i was gonna suggest you do one on the obama assassins
Joy: hahahha
Jeff: found 44 grams on that one dude
Joy: and how they got caught because they were drinking and driving?
Jeff: yeah
Joy: assassins don’t kill people, drinking and driving...
two americas
Joy: I am completely in love with Michelle Obama.
Momma: Your father is too.
Joy: You’re not?
Momma: No, I am. I just couldn’t stay up late enough to watch the speech. Why do they have those things so late? Don’t they understand that people on the east coast have to stay up until 11 to get through it all?
Joy: It was only until 8 p.m. on my coast…
Momma: when you move back here, you’ll remember...

Michelle Obama. Just watch it.
