OK, so what scandal is about to emerge about Sarah Palin? My bet is it turns out she has a mistress in Argentina. It seems pretty clear something happened, and I don’t see how you could quit before the end of your first term as governor of what amounts to a medium-sized city (population-wise) – its Russian surveillance role aside – and then run for President. So, the GOP search for a bright shiny new penny continues. It looks like they’re gonna have to settle for the Mormon at this point, although Mike Huckleberry Hound is looking to be the sharpest tool in the Republican shed these days.

Silly Republicans. They ought to just invite Obama to join the GOP. He shares most of their corporate values, with only a few minor differences. He certainly seems to be as secretive as the previous administration at this point, and if he isn’t sufficiently supportive of torture, he’s at least up for permanent imprisonment without benefit of trial. Hell, if Joe Lieberman, Diane Feinstein, et al, can call themselves Democrats, Obama can certainly call himself a Republican. He doesn’t seem to want to call other countries evil and insinuate himself into their politics (he apparently isn’t shy when it comes to NY’s US Senate seat, however), though, which is apparently a deal-breaker.

Did you know that July is Cankle Awareness Month? Me neither. Apparently it’s a pandemic.

The schedule for Marc Maron’s “Scorching the Earth” at the Montreal Comedy Festival is finally available. He’s doing a bunch of shows between the 16th and the 25th. Montreal is only about 4 hours from me, and the tickets are only $18.80 (Canadian) each, so I was definitely thinking of attending. Unfortunately, I’m no longer skinny, and, listening to Marc this past week on BRL, it seems pretty clear he’d be thoroughly disgusted with the sight of me. I guess I’ll just sit in shame in my basement, and try to avoid forcing people to look at me.

It’s cheaper that way.
