Teacher suspended for redefining 'change' turned in by his seventh graders

Way to go, junior high students.

Ugh, I figured that was standard procedure in the schools of Florida's panhandle.

Haha, the Moment of Zen tonight had Mccain devolving into Cheney-style Penguinisms

i wish they uploaded the show faster to the site, i dont have cable

Have comcast set up digital cable, then cancel it. Worked for us.

So you still have the box, and that's all it takes? And they don't ask for it back? Do give details.

Roommate ordered, then canceled it and took back box.

We've had a cable modem from these guys forever, and we finally decided to see what would happen when we just plugged in.

If nothing else, torrents of the show are up sooner than they could ever u/l it to the official website.

newspaper column from Bobby May, the McCain campaign chair in Buchanan County, Virginia and correspondence secretary for the Buchanan County Republican Party

Hmmm... I just busted my old Comcast box out of the closet, the one they stopped bothering me about three years ago, and plugged it in, and I get cable TV through it. Surely someone will notice this, right?

i had cable for free at my old apartment for seven years before they shut it off. learning to pay for cable was a big adjustment.

But now it's digital and extra special. And the converter box can see me. I can feel its little green eye, judging me even as I watch Rachel Maddow.

I just know I will either be arrested or (more likely) charged extra for... ooh! Good Eats!

The whole anti-Muslim thing gets on my nerves. Who cares if he is a Muslim? The current (so-called) Christian president has stripped away our rights, brought the economy to it's knees, and soured the good name of America. I suppose we should forgive him tho, because HE BELIEVES IN A BOOK WRITTEN BY A TALKING PILLAR OF CLOUD.

Welcome to America please enjoy your time here.

what is the deal with racism

Halperin summing morning shows:

On ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Stephanopoulos said McCain cannot win a state-by-state fight; he must change the dynamic of the race and the way voters view Obama.

CNN’s electoral map showed improvements for Obama, putting New Hampshire and Wisconsin into the “leans Obama” category and North Carolina into “toss-up.” Obama’s projected electoral vote advantage moved from 250-189 to 264-174.

I love this sentence: "Barack Obama has had perhaps his strongest individual polling day of the year."

katie couric becomes a victim of gotcha journalism:

the tone of the clip is way dumb (yeah tmz) but lol couric is sassy

haha, i forgot couric could be likeable.

i used to hate her too but she's actually pretty good. the today show has harder questioning than you think

she did better interviews on the whole on the today show than she has since she became a news anchor.

lol at their description of the economist

Can't wait to see how the GOP is going to try and pin this on Obama.

"Dr Corsi said he had a $1,000 cheque for George Obama, seen as part of a stunt to suggest that the Senator was not taking care of his Kenyan-based relative."

Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

overheard, at the MPLS airport:

Waiter 1 and 2 will both be played by young MN men.

waiter 1 (laughing): omg, did you see the SNL spoof of Palin?! Tina Fey is SO FUNNY
waiter 2 (opposite of laughing): they're just being sexist
w1: they totally nailed her! she sounded just....wait, what
w2: sexist

So that's where one of the Powerline guys works.

I am imagining a waiter in the MPLS airport sobbing about Tina Fey's sexism now and it's really, really awesome.

I can pretty much envision the Chili's where they'd be enacting this vignette.

I've been to that very Chili's and that was my mental picture as well.

I've eaten at that Chili's more times than I want to think about.

2 for 1 all day!

Can't say I've had the pleasure; usually I make a dash for the bad-but-good General Tso's Chicken from the food court Chinese. This is what comes of trying to satisfy myself in MSP in the culinary sense.

Argh that Palin appearance in Estero was about a mile from my mom's condominium. True story: I ventured into a bookstore across the street from her place last April because I wanted to buy both Obama books and when I asked for them the woman indicated where they were. As a throwaway comment, I mentioned that he'd probably make a good President and she did a sharp intake of breath before exclaiming, 'you little devil!'

I waited a week and bought the books in Atlanta instead.

ok so we've ALL been to that chili's awesome.

So let's wait for the Corso detention story to find its way to the cable news stations.
