Hilarious segment on The Daily Show about the, ahem, choice that Bristol Palin made about her pregnancy:





Also, has anyone been watching the Republican National Convention? I'm overwhelmed by the sheer nastiness of comments aimed at Democrats. An editorial in the New York Times puts it well:

But there were also chilling glimpses of the new John McCain, who questioned the patriotism of his opponents as the 'me first, country second' crowd and threw out a list of false claims about Barack Obama's record, saying, for example, that Mr. Obama opposed nuclear power. There was no mention of immigration reform or global warming, Mr. McCain's signature issues before he decided to veer right to win the nomination.

On Wednesday, the nastiest night of the week, Mr. McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, and other speakers offered punch lines, rather than solutions for this country's many problems — ridiculing the Washington elite (of which most were solid members) and Barack Obama.

'Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America, and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights,' Ms. Palin said.

Yeah, the claws were most definitely out. I felt nauseous watching the entire predominantly white crowd wearing large cowboy hats and red, white, and blue "McCain - Palin" pins cheering the candidates on every time they made a cheap shot like this, encouraging the dirty politics that have plagued the RNC. I'm so irked by the fact that everyone sees John McCain as a hero and Sarah Palin as a maverick, when their election would be detrimental to this country. The numbers are ridiculously close, and I'm getting increasingly nervous.
