Get your very own Sarah Palin action figure doll. Choose from school girl, executive or super hero.

Our Friends Portugal. The Man (who actually played one of our Live at Ryan’s acoustic sets are from Wasilla, Alaska which as everyone in America knows is also the hometown of John McCain’s Vice Presidential pick Sarah Palin. A recent (and really well written) blog post by John Gourley chimes in on the Palin situation:

Palin, Because We Don’t Need It

Here is a story from the younger pages of John Gourley (going by Johnny at the time)…

My first hunting trip.

All through my smaller years, from a boy through to a man, I have known true Alaskans. People who hunted for a living. By “a living” I should be sure to mean “for survival” or “as a necessity… Something along those lines… It was just a part of life growing up here in Alaska.

John McCain warned today that the Republican Convention, set for next week in St.Paul, MN may have to be postponed due to Hurricane Gustav, which is currently pwning Cuba and on track to hit the Gulf Coast…you guessed it, right around the time McCain will be accepting his nomination. I’m not sayin, I’m just sayin…

Yes we fucking can!

Man, he really could’ve been the next Bill Clinton:

John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.

In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.

Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter’s baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test.

Edwards said he knew he was not the father based on timing of the baby’s birth on February 27, 2008. He said his affair ended too soon for him to have been the father.

A former campaign aide, Andrew Young, has said he was the father of the child.

I’d still vote for him before I’d vote for John McCain, but that’s just because I ain’t a player hater.

Finally a campaign ad worth watching: Paris Hilton for President.
