queerbychoice just posted showing the new veep nominee illustrating the concept, after a fashion.And here I was all bubbly up cuzza having had a good day, grilled tempeh & all, the main news I'd heard being that levees were holding and Palin's teenaged daughter is pregnant and not married.

I was just trying to wrap my head around the house raid on the place the I-Witness Video people were staying. They're "copwatchers"--- turning the tables of public surveillance on law enforcement.

Obama today in Detroit: "I believe it's important to have a president who doesn't choke on the word 'union.' And I believe we have to have a Department of Labor that believes in labor."
Clearly a whack-o leftist on the fringe, this guy. And an elitist one, at that.
