ROCK N ROLL!

I just drove by Wash u. There were people protesting in polar bear costumes O_O

I wonder if either candidate will go after the locals by calling it Warsh U.

re: jitters [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

An e-mail: " I'm easing the jitters by playing a little game: Trying to think up the questions Gwen Ifill is likely to ask tonight. First one on my list is: Senator Biden, Ms. Palin, how would you assess the historical significance of America's first African American candidate for president?"

lolz KJL trying really hard to "think like a black lady" there or what?

aww she has a little game

these guys are retarded

Ifill and Republican Wimps [Peter Kirsanow]

As I noted below, whether Ifill betrays a bias in favor of Obama/Biden tonight is somewhat beside the point. I'll bet that it will be hard to detect any bias in the questions she asks or the manner in which she asks them. And that's precisely why her evident conflict of interest is so insidious. It's more often the questions that aren't asked that betray bias and unfairness.

first she counts the number of times she can bounce the ball in an hour, and then she tries to beat that number

Hey that was an email from a reader not KJL (she just reposted it!)

It's a reference to her book, Shakey

Or at least the kind benefit-of-the-doubt way of reading it is that it's a joke about the book

Governor Palin, please share with us, in what ways do you believe that pageants build character?

after the win he can bow out knowing the internet is in capable, milflifluous hands

"lulzy"

rong thread no?

i meant to post this

nu-code is killing flute rolling

flute roffling?

that flute footage made me actually cry with joy.

New ILX buzzwords: "flute roffle."

does palinbingo work for anyone else? not me.

I mean, does the page load?

im still waiting on some good drinking game rules that don't involve palin naming all of her kids or talking about putin again. i wanna get drunk tonight guys and i don't want it all to be from biden's scranton and amtrak references.

take a drink every time you are not currently drinking

works for me

She could name Supreme Court cases from the Charles Evan Hughes era.

The flute footage seemed like an outtake from Carrie, I kept waiting for the bucket of blood to fall on her head.

Her favourite artist...James Galway.

hey so has this been posted? because it definitely needs to be.

shd automatically disqualify anyone from national office, xp

This Thursday! A debate for the ages! Two contestants, one vice presidency! Who will earn the honor of succeeding Dick Cheney?

In the blue corner Joe “I take the train home” Biden. In the red corner Sarah “I can see Russia from my house” Palin.

Blue Team Rules

* For every mention of Scranton, Pennsylvania: Take a sip.
* When Biden begins the “I take the train home everyday story” being drinking. Don’t stop ‘till he finishes.
* When Biden questions Palin’s inexperience: Drink something you’ve never had before
* When Biden makes an obvious gaffe: Spill your neighbor’s drink
* When Biden uses X words when Y will do: Drink X-Y seconds
* When Biden patronizes or self identifies with the working class: Down some brew (Bonus points if you use Miller Highlife)
* When Biden lambastes Washington Insiders: Make a toast to his 35 years of experience in the United States Senate

The Joe Biden checklist. If he mentions all of the following, finish your drinks: Blue Collar, Golden Parachute, Little Guy, Washington Insider, Working Class, Clean

Red Team Rules

* Every time Palin cites Alaska’s proximity to Russia as “foreign policy experience”: Take a shot of vodka
* When Palin claims she said “Thanks but no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere: Demand a new drink from your hosts, say “thanks but no thanks,” and then when no one’s looking, take it anyway, then claim you never wanted it.
* When Palin recounts putting the governor’s jet on eBay: Auction off a beer to your friends
* When Palin insists that governing a small town in Alaska is in fact experience: Give your friend a shot glass of beer when he/she asks for a pint and insist it’s the same thing.
* When Palin points out that Biden thought Obama was too inexperienced for the job: Finish your drink and say, “Oh Snap!” If you’re a democrat, follow this by crying.
* When Palin claims that Washington’s problems can be solved by small town know how and common sense: Drink a Labatt Blue as you read up on how to become a Canadian citizen.
* When Palin talks about being the most popular governor in the country: Go to a room by yourself, realize you’re the most popular person in the room, then finish your drink.

The Sarah Palin checklist. If she mentions all of the following, finish your drinks: Bush Doctrine, Snow Machine, Moose, Lipstick, Hockey Mom, Family Values

works for me

^^^^ jeff otm; this isn't rocket science, people! [/ally]

see, i dont see the red team drinking very much in that scenario xxxp

where is joe biden bingo

Ha, I like "remembers talking point in mid-sentence" -- doing this for Palin would get you messed up for sure.

e.g., her bailout answer, which with light-bulb noises kinda goes:

But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping BING oh, it's got to be all about job creation, too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and BING reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and BING trade -- we have got to see trade as opportunity, not as, uh, uh, competitive, um, scary thing, but one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today. We've, we’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation.

Oh and MOOSE, those are a big problem facing a lot of the Americans I talk to, and, you know, SNOW-MACHINES, we have to ask ourselves are our snowmachines affordable

has the person who wrote that drinking game actually had fun drinking, ever? complicated rules don't work. stupid shit that can't actually be done, or that would get you slapped doesn't work. the only thing that works is drinking. focus people

"folks" - drink
"ahmadinejad" - drink
"surge" - drink
"700" - drink
"aisle" - drink
anecdote about regular person met on campaign trail - three drinks

http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2008/10/scoring_the_debate_1.cfm

"trickle" - drink
palin thanks ifill for asking the question (thanks elmo!) - drink
palin uses lack of "another 9/11" as evidence that republicans have been good for national security - drink
biden praises mccain's military service - three drinks

maybe this is getting too complicated - scratch above and replace with

"trickle" - drink
"another 9/11" - drink
"served" - drink

"the" - drink

Anyone know who the two dopes were on Lou Dobbs' show claiming Palin will win (or SHOCK FOLKS with her performance at) the debate?

i think im gonna stick with:
palin thanks ifill for asking the question (thanks elmo!) - drink
palin remembers talking point in mid-sentence - drink
biden audibly laughs at palin - drink
scranton - drink (this one really just to make sure i dont come out of the debate sober)

I think The Best Political Team On TV And Hey Don't Forget Assholes already started playing the drinking game!

ooh, i also like
every time Palin starts a sentence with "Ya know"

Will Palin bring her guitar?
