I'm on a mod system, which means I have two finals weeks per semester. I'll let you know when I come up for air. Right now, I'm a lovely shade of blue.

Apparently, one of the unaired clips of Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric involved Katie asking Sarah what Supreme Court decisions she knew of.
The only one she could name was Roe v. Wade.
Seriously? I think I learned of at least Brown v. Board of Education in the 6th grade. Not to mention the fact that it's the single most important civil rights decision in the 20th century.
And does no one watch Law and Order? I mean, they read someone their Miranda rights in every fracking episode.
Thank you Mom, for not giving me an h at birth so I don't have to share a name with this dipshit.
Hasn't Bush been bad enough? Do we really need to elect this idiot to be a 72 year old heartbeat away from the presidency?

Wow - an article from the New York Times lays it out better than anything here.
Data for the whole period from 1948 to 2007, during which Republicans occupied the White House for 34 years and Democrats for 26, show average annual growth of real gross national product of 1.64 percent per capita under Republican presidents versus 2.78 percent under Democrats.This of course means we all get richer under Democrats than Republicans. Furthermore, the article goes on to say that:
That 1.14-point difference, if maintained for eight years, would yield 9.33 percent more income per person, which is a lot more than almost anyone can expect from a tax cut.
[The data shows that] when Democrats were in the White House, lower-income families experienced slightly faster income growth than higher-income families — which means that incomes were equalizing. In stark contrast, it also shows much faster income growth for the better-off when Republicans were in the White House — thus widening the gap in income.Basically, only the rich get richer under the Republicans, while everyone gets richer under the Democrats. That's something that I wondered about all along, but didn't have the data to back up until now.
But, uh, didn't you know McCain was a POW? And Obama belongs to a wacky church?

Since I am losing my fracking mind right now, here is a video from the bizarro land that mimics my brain... without the frustration and horror.
I've listened to it about 5 times now.
