Imagine the hilarity if John Key or Helen Clark tried the equivalent.
Or if they tried to run the kind of palpable untruths that Palin trotted out in her speech. They'd be rightly crucified the next day. It's weird all right.

"I'm going to fight to make sure every American has every reason to thank God, as I thank Him: that I'm an American, a proud citizen of the greatest country on earth"
Sweet Jesus you couldn't make this shit up.
Good grief. It's like it's randomised or something. People buy this crap, don't they?

And the download site has been stuck in some hell loading-loop for two days
Very disappointed girl..
And there's a three-activation limit on the game purchase, and if we we try and reinstall to restore the missing DLL file, we use up another one of those.
We're not the only ones with these and other problems either.
I'm of the view currently that EA needs to be crucified over this. They've released broken software and made it very difficult to fix because of the way they've applied their DRM.
Wankers.

So the news is that Spore crashes at launch, reporting an "access violation" and a missing DLL -- after, of course, deciding it needs to update. Very disappointed boy.
Windows sucks balls.

So if someone's talking about being a teenager and living in Masterton or Ashburton or fcuking Timaru and needing some kind of lifeline, I don't give a shit how much fruit there is on their hat.
Yes, that's why the response, sincere as it was, took me a bit by surprise. The outreach thing was what I took away from it. But Simon inadvertently, as our friend Brian put it, "fell into the drag queen trap", which we didn't know was there.
Over on GayNZ I also got told off for (once) saying "gay women".

This doesn't appear to be correct. All that happened was a budget line for the Alaska Challenge Youth Academy Program was taken from one accounting column and put in another.
True -- although the budget did still fall a little. But as someone pointed out further down that thread Giovanni linked to, McCain/Palin have absolutely nothing on the table for special needs, while Obama (whose chief strategist has an autistic son) has a detailed and cohesive set of proposals.
The closest McCain has got was entertaining the mercury-causes-autism bunkum in a speech.
If you want a comparison between the respective styles of the two sides, I think this is quite a good one. Mawkish symbolism versus actual policy.

Would anybody like to fill me in on what he said before that most disturbing sentence?
I think I'd rather just let it hang there, mysterious and beautiful ...

Now she's stonewalling on the Troopergate investigation.
If there's anything the Democrats can hammer her on, it has to be this.

Meanwhile, here's one for Sage. A correspndent for that well-known lefty organ The Evening Standard takes a look at the "Sarah Palin = Margaret Thatcher" line, and 's he's not impressed:
The Harry Truman comparison they cooked up for Palin was duff too. Truman might have come from a small town, but he spent 10 years in the Senate (busting war profiteers, among other things) before FDR tapped him as veep in 1944.
I'm actually quite surprised by how many of the money lines in the speech were demonstrably bogus.

__Character. Leadership. Integrity. My mulatto faggot arse.__
Beautiful.
Indeed.
