Yeah, Chuck Todd's reporting that Palin's returning to Alaska after the convention. Very weird. That's not going to look good at all. It's just going to amplify the blood-in-the-water scent the media's been circling around.
It’s the same path Europe took a few decades ago. It leads to moribund growth and double-digit unemployment.
And by "loved" I mean "hated", because it's full of shit. Unemployment for the EU27 is at 6.7% (PDF!!) per the latest annual report, and it's in double digits in... um, exactly nowhere.
It's true, I want to destroy America. On the upside though, he didn't say "200,000 Germans" like everyone else, because there were all kinds of people there -- European, American and other -- and if there's one thing we Dutch hate being called even more than Danish is German. Oh hi cortex!
Not to mention, AK and AZ are at the top of the alphabet last time I looked, so don't blink, the first part should be a blurringly fast game of yielding-the-floor.
11%? one-in-ten seems low, am I interpreting that right? I feel like it's at least 1 in 4 considering the MSNBC reportage on her imminent retreat to Alaska.
And WTF is the population of Wasilla? It's anywhere from 5k - 10k. WTF people, consult a damn census much?
"They're now moving male delegates out of the front deck of seats and moving female delegates in there, in preparation for Palin's speech (according to one of the MSNBC people on the floor)." -- Flunkie in The Thread
Yeah, but the only way I can play the RNC drinking game is if I do a shot for each policy statement. If I drank for each code word, dog whistle, talking point or mindless smear I'd be dead.
fivethirtyeight: "The RNC schedule had a [Palin] video tribute scheduled, but Rudy was too busy enjoying his 30-minute prime time speech. They scrapped the video."
To start y'all off, here's Romney's prepared remarks, folks.
Romney is up. GREAT hair.

He deviates from the prepared remarks a lot.
(Because he fell out of a plane.)
Freedom dollars, maybe?
I hope McCain marches out with a desk tonight.
(so what were those chinese desk makers doing all that time?)
Classic red meat speech though.
FENCE THE BUILD!
Gruffness?

ZERO!
ZERO!
John McCain.
TAKE THAT, DEMOCRATS.
'cept for that distance and weather and larger population.
I think it's from The Thread.
This guy was mayor of your country or something, right?
"Shut up, I'm TALKING!"
...AND ONE CAN'T LIFT UP HIS ARMS!!!!!
Did they finalize a platform?
9/11!
There it is.
Wish someone would post the Obama on O'Reilly to youtube already.
Um...maybe not the best choice of words?
A day that will live in infamy.
And now Rudy's a feminist?!
*cue daddy yankee*
T! G! S!
WAR
KIDS IN WAR
Especially him.
Coming back, though.
With that black background, it was like Mork From Ork.
*crowd grumbles uneasily*
I don't think that will last though.
Even more so since they're "proud for America".
DREZDN YOU ARE EVIL AND FUNNY THAT IS ALL
Fun!
CINDY LETS HIM FLY AROUND IN IT
Seems like if any civil servant needs a private plane, it'd be the governor of Alaska. Just sayin'.
And no personal chef!
