Seriously, I have to stop before my head explodes. It’s Friday, we should be out drinking and getting down.

• More on her Gibson interview. This shit is priceless.
  

  PALIN: We’ve gotta keep an eye on Russia. … You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.
  GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing inside Georgia?
  PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relations with all of these countries, especially Russia.

  (And here is some more on the Gibson thing. Fail indeed.)

• Palin has now linked 9/11 to Iraq.
  

  Speaking at Alaska’s Fort Wainwright on Thursday, where she hailed the combat deployment of her son’s Army unit to Iraq as a “righteous cause,” Palin explicitly and repeatedly renewed the discredited claim that the invasion and occupation of Iraq was initiated as a necessary and credible response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

  “You’ll be there to defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the deaths of thousands of Americans,” Palin told the departing soldiers.

• Even Roger Ebert hates her.
• Palin probably broke the law by using resources as mayor to run for Governor. After having someone else fined 12,000 for doing something similar. Oops.
• Finally, I linked to the tax chart yesterday — but here it is proportionally displayed. That is, the percentage of people being taxed corresponds to the thickness of the line. Now, you look at this, whomeever you are, and you see how Obama’s makes sense. It makes perfect, logical sense. And you look at McCain’s and you realize he is part of a greedy, self-serving machine. Ug.
