It's not funny anymore. It's pathetic.



"Time Magazine" would have been a sufficient answer, Governor Palin.

Notes on a crappy day

When Clinton began his first term, the Dow was around 3,000. It hit 11,700 late in the second term, and when he left office, it was about 10,500.

See? Proof.

The Dow's record high was about a year ago: 14,198 on October 11. Not as impressive as the Clinton expansion, but not scoffable.

Today, it plummeted 777 points to 10,365 after the bailout announcement. That puts us in negative territory for the Bush Presidency, folks.

I know they're not playing well across other demographics, and looks like the GOP just might be losing the rich old white guy vote soon.

Don't be meme

Sorry, haven't posted in a long while.

One particular tweet somehow crossed my consciousness this morning:
Sarah Palin is your new bicycle's flat tire.
I loved it. This, of course, is a play on Barack Obama Is Your New Bicycle.

One of my very good friends works on App Engine and I've been playing around with it a lot lately. So it took me just a few minutes or so to whip up this:
Sarah Palin Is Your New Bicycle's Flat Tire
I've seeded it with some of my favorites from the tweets and have a form for suggestions. It went a little viral -- it's already gotten over 6,000 views since I put it up after lunch.

Update: On Sunday it got around 95,000 page views!
