Mcain picks Sarah Palin as his running mate!

The man is a genious! A real, bona-fide, f*king genius! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! This is the most exciting presidential race in history...the only question I have is who is this Sarah Palin and why, other than that she's a woman, did he pick her?

Cause she's a dead ringer for Tina Fey? And Tina Fey is funny. Maybe she's sorta funny?

well, she was on the city council. then she was mayor of a town of 5,000 people. and she's been governor for a year and a half of a state that i'm not convinced really exists.

I have to admit this was a gutsy move. And a shrewd one, too. And possibly his only hope. It makes me pretty excited to think no matter who wins this election, it's not going to be two old white dudes. No offense to old white dudes, but why not give somebody else a chance?

YAY to America for shaking off the shackles.

I'm still voting democratic as I think McCain has become more and more loony over the years, but this is going to be interesting.

Good answers, good answers. Palin IS McCain's only hope. Dems had most of the middle practically convinced the big M was the twin of GW Bush...when only a few short years ago the Republicans were sure McCain was in bed with the Democrats. He's much more progressive than most of his party, but he's seen as an old white dude.

I was not convinced, and still am not convinced on whom to vote for in this election. McCain has war time experience, is a bit more progressive, pledges to keep taxes low, yet agrees with the invasion of Iraq. Obama is fresh, charismatic and would improve our relations with the rest of the world. However, he also would raise taxes at a time when our economy is floundering and it's hard for the working class to make ends meet.

I don't want my vote to be about voting for the cool black guy or the guy with a woman running mate. It's about the policies and platforms that will shape our country and give us the best opportunities for growth and progress over the next four years.

LET'S SHATTER THE GLASS ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!! I was so happy when Palin referred to Clinton in her speech. That my friend, is absolute genius.

She's actually great - she's upped alternative energy use in Alaska 17%. She's the only one on the ticket with executive experience. And she's probably the only woman all the republican shovenist would ever vote for because she's sooo far right.

If McCain dies can she take over - ahhh... probably not. But Obama isn't qualified for the white house either.

McCain just realized that Obama made this election about much more than actual issues and qualifications -- it's all about race, gender, and slogans. GREAT - Just freaking great.

This is a total pander to hope to get women to vote for him. I can't wait to see Biden eat her for lunch at the VP debate! Although, with such low expectations, she only has to show she can chew and talk at the same time. Seriously, I think I am more qualified than she is!!!! And since when did have lots of sex and giving birth count as executive experience?!?! If he wanted to pick a woman, there were many, many more qualified choices. It shows he wanted to pander.

Hello Again

I've been conspicuosly absent from this site and thought it was high-time you all got an update. This last week's been an incredibly busy one. My series on Polygamy (The Real Big Love) debuted on the Nightside Project . They played it again several times in the morning and pretty much plugged it all day. Some people are talking award-winning. I really enjoyed putting it together, too. I also got to shoot one of my interviewees with an airsoft gun and we had our Nightside one year anniversary since we've officially been on the air. We're marking that celebration with a fun show tonight. We're pretending to pull archived tape of stuff we've done through the decades. I made mine on Who Shot JR. Oh, and one other thing I'm not supposed to mention, but I'll mention to you. They're talking syndication. By the end of the month we'll broadcast the show on our sister stations in Phoenix, Seattle, and (just for you east coasters) WTOP in DC.

Adventures in waiting around

I'm waiting for my next live hit (15 minutes from now). I've been training to go live on the air for the past three days. The first part right after you've got your interview is a bit nerve racking. You've got to put it into your comp, edit down the sound bytes, send your best bytes into the system we use (4 good ones), then write and voice a tease, then write a lead, and of course write your story, and have all the tech stuff (sound levels, etc) good to go before you get on the air. But after all that there's a little down time after the first hour (and so here I am). I'm currently parked out in front of the KSL studios in the truck with my equipment. I took some time a bit earlier to lay down for 5 minutes under a nearby tree on the edge of the parking lot. As I lay under that tree I contemplated just how many homeless people may have been in the exact spot I was actually laying in just then. Then a large man dressed in black (probably a waiter for som...

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu...
