Wonkette
The weekend is, fundamentally, a series of days, two days, in which Americans have a choice — an important choice — for the states, federally. But even not all Americans are going to agree, absolutely, so that’s why we have choices in terms of the law of the land, in this great nation of Alas– America. The United States. For all people really, and John McCain has always said culture is the key to, embracing America, on a state level, for the good folks in Washington DC.

OH Wonkette is FINALLY coming around to an appreciation for electronic. Welcome to the dark side.
Where have I read this before?
OK, Juli, you were pulling a Palin, but I have to say that really gave me a headache. Like a confusing and hurtful headache. At least warn us with a tag or something when you’re channeling your inner VPILF.

Mellifluous Palindronic Invocation.
Juli, you rock.
Matmos now lives in Baltimore (aka hell on earth) ever since their fall from Bjork’s over inflated grace.
Doglessliberal: ah, dee dee bridgewater and taj … thanks for the tip.

capitol hillbilly: and weather supposed to be gorgeous!
Fleet Foxes is Teh Shizzle!
Juli, you gotta keep going. Sarah is never at a loss for words. There must be no dead air space. Every moment must be filled with gibberish. Don’t stop!
Nice palinese
Is Palin a guest blogger on Wonkette today? If so, this HAS to be her blog entry- confusing, rambling, incoherent- all signature trademarks of a Palin talking point.
Doglessliberal: The day’s way too long — it took a while before I realized you weren’t offering “and free jizz on the Mall Sunday”
