THANKS, SENATOR McCAIN
Thank you John McCain and Sarah Palin for riling up the nutjob wing of the GOP to the point where record numbers of people (read: their wacky right-wing supporters) want to inflict serious harm upon Barack Obama.
The number of threats against Obama is higher than any other president-elect. I can only imagine how poorly Michelle Obama sleeps some nights.
Well, what should we expect when we have numbnuts like this running around the country? NOT ONE of the leaders of this wing of the GOP has stood up and told these people to calm down, give Obama some breathing room, let him have his shot, and, by the way, he's not a terrorist!
Oh yeah. Don't forget jerk-offs like these people, either.
Personally, I can't ever forgive McCain or Palin for the campaign they ran. I fear for Obama's safety.

WE (DON'T) GOT WOOD!
I'm a huge Cubs fan. When I moved to Chicago in 1997 I was not a baseball fan (what would you expect after growing up with the disgraceful Cleveland Indians as your hometown team (they were always awful in the 80s and early 90s)). But I used to take the Red Line everyday when I lived in Rogers Park and worked downtown. I was always enamored with the Addison stop, where you could see into Wrigley. Somehow that turned me into a fan. (That, and being in a city with a National League team. I hate the designated hitter. It is the most ridiculous position ever conceived in professional sports.)
In 1998, Kerry Wood pitched a 20-strikeout game as a rookie. It was a blessing and a curse. He never came close to matching that performance (well, he did pitch a few one-hit games and often struck out more than 10 when he was a starter). And since 2003, every season has started with Cubs fans biting their nails at the thought of an unhealthy Kerry Wood.
And, like clockwork, every season, he goes on the DL. I told a friend of mine last Summer when Wood was injured around the time of the All-Star Game that I was tired of the Cubs being held hostage to Woody's injuries.
Apparently, so are the Cubs. For the first time since I became a Cubs fan, Kerry Wood will not be wearing a Cubs uniform. Part of me is saddened by this. And another part of me is simply relieved.
Bring on Marmol.

OW! THE STUPID!!
As much as I dislike Sarah Palin and all she represents, I'm slowly feeling more at ease with her as the face of the GOP for the next 4 years. It could make our job really easy.
Now, Jed did cut this up a bit, but it gets to the general point about Palin: She's a moron.
Also, I highly suggest this piece on Palinese by Matt Taibbi. The part where he translates her statement into German then Japanese and back to English had me in tears.

IT'S OVER!
Apparently, someone forgot to tell Sarah Palin:
a) The election is over
b) YOU LOST
c) The electorate thinks you are the nation's number one nitwit and nothing you say or do will change that right now
d) Barack Obama has not been sworn in yet, so please stop running for president in 2012 already.
Seriously, what is up with the media already talking about the GOP's nominee in 2012? Obama hasn't even named one cabinet secretary and all these shows are discussing who's the current front runner. It's no wonder people hate politics so much.
I really can not stand Sarah Palin and all she represents and, unlike many of my fellow Obama supporters who are already praying she become the nominee in '12, I'd rather see her disappear from the national scene. To me, she is everything that is wrong with this country.
While I'm at it, I'd also like to ask everyone liberal out there to calm down about Obama's cabinet choices and policy decisions. Everything we've heard so far is nothing but speculation and, as Sarah Palin needs to be told, Obama has not even appointed one cabinet memeber yet. So, please, calm down! (And read John Cole's absolute annihalation of one of our Democratic concern trolls. It's brilliant!)
