Don’t elect Obama! What will SNL do once the elections are over? They’ve had so much fun with this campaign that I think their rates are up to stay. But, they don’t have any jokes for Obama. It’s all about McCain.

And what about Paris Hilton? Wouldn’t that be something if she actually got some votes? What if everyone just gave up and voted her into office? The cabinet would get traded in for a walk-in closet and the White House would get painted pink. I think she said she would move it to Florida.

It’s hilarious to me when I hear John McCain and Barack Obama ending their commercials with, “My name is blah blah and I approve this message.”

Not when someone else is talking.  Not when someone else paid for the commercial.  But, when they are the ones doing the talking and their funds paid for the commercial.  It’s hilarious because you think they would know better.

First of all, “I approve this message” is a statement that was created when campaigns were getting real deceptive back in the…80’s.

That’s right!  Since then, candidates of all types of positions have been putting their stamp of approval on commercials that were paid by organizations and voiced by an actor or a member of the organization.  What was going on at the time was very crafty campaign managers and very crafty organizations would put together a message and make it seem like it was coming from the candidate they opposed.

Why would they do that?  Because, it would confuse voters.  The message a candidate was trying to get across would get conflicted with these mock commercials.

To put an end to that practice, candidates would let their supporters know that if they didn’t put their stamp of approval on a message they were watching on television, then the message wasn’t from them.  Thus, the beginning of the highly overused, “…I approve this message.”

So now, candidates are putting this message on every commercial…even their own.  That’s why it’s hilarious.  Barack Obama talking about his grandfather and his mother in a commercial and talking about his strong American roots, then at the end of the commercial comes, “I am Barack Obama and I approve this message.”

John McCain with his commercial about Plumber Joe and Barack Obama’s plan to raise his taxes and then comes, “I am John McCain and I approve this message.”

Well, no kidding.  You’re the one delivering it.

It was absolutely hilarious. But, that’s David Letterman. It appears John McCain dodged his slot on David Letterman’s show to do an interview with Katie Couric.

Other talk show hosts might have simply let it go. But, not David Letterman. He spent nine minutes on the show in got-to-see television that had me rolling. Even sidekick Paul Shaffer was on it in absolute comedic style.

The best part was when David caught up to where John McCain actually was. See, John McCain called David himself to tell him that he had to hop a plane to fly to D.C. and fix the economy before it explodes. Good excuse…if it were true. Watch the clip!

Gus Frerotte is now leading the Vikings.

Redmond O’Neal gets caught with methamphetamines and his dad Ryan O’Neal gets jammed up in it too.

And, Josh Howard disrespects the National Anthem.

But among the many highlights in the news today, I’m particularly attracted to the story about Sarah Palin’s staff refusing to submit to subpoenas in an investigation concerning the July firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. He submits that Palin tried to pressure him into firing her ex-brother-in-law, an Alaskan State Trooper.

I’m attracted to this story because Palin was going to cooperate with the state’s legislature’s investigation until she was chosen as McCain’s running mate. I could look at that two different ways. As Governor of Alaska, she could handle the scrutiny. But as a presidential running mate, it would be too much dirt to handle. On the other hand, it’s a useless contrivance since she is now in the national public eye and soon getting ready to change the guard. So, is the investigation worth the cooperation? I submit.

I’m also attracted to this story because it involves a subpoena. Now, that’s the thing that’s very interesting. How can anyone refuse to comply with a subpoena? It’s a subpoena. It’s not a request. It’s not a suggestion. It’s a subpoena. I can’t wait to learn more about this story and see how it’s even possible.  The only thing I can think of is the fact that Sarah will be the Vice President and that puts her above the power of a state subpoena.  But, that’s not the case right now.  Of course, an investigation may not hold the same power as the court of law.  So, I may very well have answered my own question.

Uh, you know what? Maybe I’m just attracted to the story because it’s about Sarah Palin. Yep, that’s it folks. She is Librarian hot, with a capital L for sexy glasses, sexy conservative clothes and sexy highlights. Oh, I do believe this is the first time I’ve ever had the hots for anyone running for any office in any type of capacity. Good job McCain!
