Well, what's all this cozy smiling and laughter all about? We thought you were mortal enemies! Presidential hopefuls (or, in the minds of some, presidential desperados) John McCain and Barack Obama were all white ties and tails and smiles and brotherly love last night at a Catholic charities fundraiser in New York.
Keep an open mind and read some of their jokes. They're actually funny!
McCain makes a crack about "that one" and Obama says, at the expense of Sarah Palin, that he can see the Russian Tea Room from the podium. On the other hand, something about it feels a little politics as usual -- or like those of us sitting around in shredded yoga pants just itching to vote are somehow being had. We're choosing not to think too hard on it.
Here's the latest on Joe the non-Plumber. No license, no idea what he's talking about with taxes, nothing but a lot of press coverage (and maybe his own reality show?).
We'll combine a WTF with our Daily Palin. Madame governor is asking $15 million for copies of her state emails. Oh, and they won't be available until after election day. Yo, Palin. Ever heard of "open records"? Seriously, she's got to curb her eBay habit.
Some parents in Vacaville, Calif., are complaining about a music teacher who underwent gender reassignment over the summer. They feel like they had the right to know before the school year started. It sure seems to have taken awhile for them to figure it out. Maybe, you know, their kids didn't give a rip?
John McCain told David Letterman at a taping of the show yesterday that he "messed up" in not coming on as scheduled. Actually, he messed up by getting busted.
Awkward! There's another McCain family out there -- the descendents of slaves owned by John McCains ancestors. They live in Tennessee. And they're voting for? Barack Obama.
We saved the worst for last. Are you ready? ... We're heading into a recession. See you in the bread lines!
