It’s the morning after Obama’s big speech, but the big headline is:
McCain picked a running mate! The female governor of Alaska Sarah Palin, a pro-life, deeply Christian, hockey mom reformer. Everyone has an opinion.
Obama gave a down-to-earth speech that 50 billion news agencies describe as “adding policy to soaring rhetoric” despite the stadium setting. No bands, no airplanes, but maybe a new slogan: Enough! Is that because the “change message” has “run out of steam”?
Abortion: Still Legal in Mexico City. phew.
Judgment Day: Bosnian Serb genocide suspect and runaway Karadzic refuses to enter a plea to the UN War Crimes tribunal (in his words, the “NATO court”).
Predicting the Future: Don’t worry, says Oregon economist, the recession is totally sort of almost over.
And in wonk news, the PDC has a new chair who says he’s into transparency and not being “done” with downtown.
Have seen photos of Ms. Palin sans cullottes, so to speak. Wow-za, yow-za. Just how I like ’em. Pretty and dumb.
Now how can you say that, you horrid man? You have NOT seen pictures of Mrs. Palin without her clothing on. Have you? She must just be a mass of stretch marks, so why would she pose for such a thing. I think you’re fooling us.
