I fear that doc's joeybomb won't deliver as advertised.

I received this list in an email this morning, thought it was interesting enough to share.

Here is the email (the "list" is in the link below):
Subject: [bhp-announce] List of Books Sarah Palin Tried to Ban
This is the list of books Palin tried to have banned. As many of you
will notice it is a hit parade for book burners.
For those of you who think that all of the opposition to Sarah Palin is
from 'leftwing' nuts; the following is a list of books that she tried to
get banned when she was mayor of Wasilla. I am not sure that Mark Twain,
William Shakespeare, Maya Angelou and Geoffrey Chaucer would be
considered dangerous to children. Judy Blume give me a break. Harry
Potter, who is kidding who. I also fail to see how Webster's Ninth New
Collegiate Dictionary by the Merriam-Webster Editorial Staff should be banned.
This information is taken from the official minutes of the Wasilla
Library Board. When the librarian refused Palin tried to get her fired
as she did with the Safety Director of the State who refused to fire a
trooper who was getting a vicious divorce from her sister
This is the list of books Palin tried to have banned. As many of you
will notice it is a hit parade for book burners.
Here is what a simple google search uncovered.
Palin Derangement Syndrome strikes again. This time it’s hysterical librarians and their readers on the Internet disseminating a bogus list of books Gov. Sarah Palin supposedly banned in 1996. Looks like some of these library people failed reading comprehension. Take a look at the list below and you’ll find books Gov. Palin supposedly tried to ban…that hadn’t even been published yet. Example: The Harry Potter books, the first of which wasn’t published until 1998.

I'm looking forward to November 5 (the day after the election)...

If this election is tight and we have recounts and McCain wins, fairly or not, it's not going to be good. I really, really, really, hope that doesn't happen.

With Palin energizing the base, looks like McCain is moving to the center.

McCain has to win all Bush states, including Indiana, Colorado, Florida, Virginia and Ohio.

Obama has to win all Kerry states + Iowa, New Mexico. That's 264 electoral votes. Then ONE of the above mentioned states. ONE. Or Nevada + Montana or North Dakota.

Nobody will really know where the National race stands until around Thursday. Convention bounces are what they are. It won't last.
Obama won't win Nebraska, but he has a real shot at winning the 2nd District (Omaha) and picking up a vote. We're one of only two states that split our district votes.

Could the McCain of 2000 re-emerge now that he has appeased the base with his VP pick?

Interesting thought.
