really odd thing McCain said & other debate comments

onefinemess | September 27, 2008

I’m sure it was just some kind of misspeak, but what the fuck:
I think the lessons of Iraq are very clear that you cannot have a failed strategy that will then cause you to nearly lose a conflict.
It’s about 2:45 in in this clip.
What he’s literally saying is something like ..ok nevermind it still doesn’t [...]

Wow.  Just wow.  You can’t make this shit up.

Here’s another dose of link-love for my (primarily lurking) readers:
The “Palin incest” sketch on SNL.  Wow did people over-react to this.  Seriously, just watch it.
Another SNL video.  Wow, what is the world coming to?  This one is an opener with “John McCain”.  I chuckled a little.
Andrew Sullivan’s “Twelve Lies of Palin” or something like that.  [...]

Palin on Couric

onefinemess | September 25, 2008

Not much of an interview, but at least she’s starting to give SOME.  Evidently there is a longer (?) interview that won’t be shown until the 29th or 30th (what the hell??).

Thoughts?

Green Arrow/Black Canary 12

I’m still not seeing much of a reason for this series, but I do so love Jud’s writing – although I have to say the ending here was one of the worst I’ve seen him do.
I’m sorry but I can’t stand the whole “aging a child so he’s suddenly of appropriate age to be a [...]

1st draft win (ever)!

onefinemess | September 22, 2008

I’d made it to second place before – which was pretty damn surprising, but I actually won one today!
This after getting overly annoyed at a douchebag in a previous game.  People who don’t even bother to say some sort of hello – even “gl hf” is good enough for me! – just annoy me.
Anyway.  Onto [...]

Palin weirdness

See Sullivan’s blog here.
I’m not sure what to say other than that someone is telling a very direct lie about something very trivial, but WHY?

Uncanny X-Men 502 & X-Factor 35

God, Greg Land’s “pencils” are so fucking annoying I can’t enjoy the issue.  I keep seeing the same faces over and over and over again on different characters – mostly women – he really, really, really cannot draw women as individuals…I guess, something like that.  Many of them still have his horrible “porn star” swipe [...]

hide n’ shit

onefinemess | September 17, 2008

or: “No one likes a close pooper!”
Z has started doing the “run over into the corner, squat, and shit” thing that I’ve heard so many stories about other children doing.  Happily, he isn’t hiding behind a curtain or something (whose kid was that?)…but he does have to go stand away from you, often in a [...]

too good to not link

onefinemess | September 17, 2008

[another old post I forgot about, but should post before it's too late]:
Unfortunately, I’m not having much luck embedding Comedy Central clips in these Wordpress blogs.  Maybe I’ll figure it out when I have more time.
Until then, hat tip to Andrew Sullivan – watch the embedded video on his site.  (I used a “hat tip”, [...]
