So, the GOP search for a bright shiny new penny continues.  It looks like they&#8217;re gonna have to settle for the Mormon at this point, although Mike Huckleberry Hound is looking to be the sharpest tool in the Republican shed these days.<\/p>\n<p>Silly Republicans.  They ought to just invite Obama to join the GOP.  He shares most of their corporate values, with only a few minor differences.  He certainly seems to be as secretive as the previous administration at this point, and if he isn&#8217;t sufficiently supportive of torture, he&#8217;s at least up for permanent imprisonment without benefit of  trial.  Hell, if Joe Lieberman, Diane Feinstein, et al, can call themselves Democrats, Obama can certainly call himself a Republican.  He doesn&#8217;t seem to want to call other countries evil and insinuate himself into their politics (he apparently isn&#8217;t shy when it comes to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/news\/politics\/2009\/07\/03\/2009-07-03_rangel_defends_maloneys_bid_for_gillibrand_senate_seat_criticizes_obama_for_butt.html\">NY&#8217;s US Senate seat<\/a>, however), though, which is apparently a deal-breaker. <\/p>\n<p>Did you know that July is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.postchronicle.com\/news\/health\/article_212241350.shtml?rssfeed\">Cankle Awareness Month<\/a>?  Me neither.  Apparently it&#8217;s a pandemic.  <\/p>\n<p>The schedule for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hahaha.com\/en\/show_detail\/172\/4631\/\">Marc Maron&#8217;s &#8220;Scorching the Earth&#8221; at the Montreal Comedy Festival<\/a> is finally available. He&#8217;s doing a bunch of shows between the 16th and the 25th.  Montreal is only about 4 hours from me, and the tickets are only $18.80 (Canadian) each, so I was definitely thinking of attending.  Unfortunately, I&#8217;m no longer skinny, and, listening to Marc this past week on BRL, it seems pretty clear he&#8217;d be thoroughly disgusted with the sight of me.  I guess I&#8217;ll just sit in shame in my basement, and try to avoid forcing people to look at me.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s cheaper that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, so what scandal is about to emerge about Sarah Palin?
