Ever wonder what a video of a Swedish choir singing Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights” using sets and costume from Olivia Newton John’s “Physical” video would look like?

Palin/Couric (OK, she ISN’T qualified)
In Uncategorized on 09/26/2008 at 21:45Palin on CBS with Katie Couric was bad, because you can’t have the candidate begging with her eyes for the interviewer to bail her out of questions. And the questions weren’t exactly tough. Palin can’t form sentences and her head is just filled with talking point gobbledygoo so nouns and verbs just fly out of her mouth without any descernible relationship to the question asked or even to each other. It was a stunning display. I have to take back everything I ever said even remotely positive about her. She is probably not qualified to be mayor of Wasilia. No joke. It’s bad when your first thought is McCain should pick Katie Couric to replace her.

Op-Ed Columnist – Making America Stupid – Op-Ed – NYTimes.com: “Who cares how much steel John McCain has in his gut when the steel that today holds up our bridges, railroads, nuclear reactors and other infrastructure is rusting? McCain talks about how he would build dozens of nuclear power plants. Oh, really? They go for $10 billion a pop. Where is the money going to come from? From lowering taxes? From banning abortions? From borrowing more from China? From having Sarah Palin ‘reform’ Washington — as if she has any more clue how to do that than the first 100 names in the D.C. phonebook?”

Op-Ed Columnist – The Palin-Whatshisname Ticket – Op-Ed – NYTimes.com: “The question today: What kind of president would Sarah Palin be? It’s an urgent matter, because if we’ve learned anything from the G.O.P. convention and its aftermath, it’s that the 2008 edition of John McCain is too weak to serve as America’s chief executive. This unmentionable truth, more than race, is now the real elephant in the room of this election.
“No longer able to remember his principles any better than he can distinguish between Sunnis and Shia, McCain stands revealed as a guy who can be easily rolled by anyone who sells him a plan for ‘victory,’ whether in Iraq or in Michigan. A McCain victory on Election Day will usher in a Palin presidency, with McCain serving as a transitional front man, an even weaker Bush to her Cheney.”
If McCain is elected our foreign energy dependence is going to last as long as the culture war. A long, long time.

People identify with the contestants. They think, Hey, that could almost be me up there on that show!
My feeling is, I don’t want to be up there. I want a vice president who is better than me, wiser, well-traveled, has met world leaders, who three months ago had an opinion on Iraq.

Barbara Boxer on McCain’s “fights.”
In "quote", politics on 09/06/2008 at 16:27Daily Kos: Boxer Fights Back: “Last night at the Republican National Convention, John McCain used the word ‘fight’ more than 40 times in his speech.”
In the 16 years that we have served together in the Senate, I have seen John McCain fight.
I have seen him fight against raising the federal minimum wage 14 times.
I have seen him fight against making sure that women earn equal pay for equal work.
I have seen him fight against a women’s right to choose so consistently that he received a zero percent vote rating from pro-choice organizations.
I have seen him fight against helping families gain access to birth control.
I have seen him fight against Social Security, even going so far as to call its current funding system ‘an absolute disgrace.’
And I saw him fight against the new GI Bill of Rights until it became politically untenable for him to do so.
John McCain voted with President Bush 95 percent of the time in 2007 and 100 percent of the time in 2008 — that’s no maverick.
We do have two real fighters for change in this election — their names are Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
