Heart Wants McCain Down, Down, Down, Down on his Knees

Posted on September 08, 2008

Posted on September 05, 2008
ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. No. Seriously. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz. It's hard to tell which was duller: John McCain's acceptance speech or the Giants/Redskins game. I think John Madden may have been more coherent than usual (probably because he was drunk), and there was one point...

The RNC Recap -- Day 3 (More Palin)

Posted on September 04, 2008
