Scott McClellan endorses Obama →
Prop 8 a Toss-Up (???) →
Proposition 8 will be on the California ballot on November 4th. Polls show its currently a toss-up; half the people want to ban gay marriage and half do not.
I like to think that I “get” points of view that I disagree with. I understand why someone would be anti-abortion. I understand why people feel passionately about having their guns. I understand why people might want a military...
Terrorists
The RNC has a new mailer going out in swing states that has the word TERRORIST on the front, and opens to a large picture of Obama.
I wonder… if voting rights were limited to the people who have been effected by domestic terrorism, what would be the outcome? I doubt it would be close at all. But then again, as Jon Stewart pointed out the other night, Osama Bin Laden didn’t attack Real...
Fall Foliage
Petra wants to go see pretty leaves this weekend. (“They don’t have them in California!”) Where should I take her? Parameters: No more than a 90 minute drive from Manhattan.

I just found this blog when looking up the reaction of the Palin SNL appearance. he is a RNC campaign volunteer, huge McCain-Palin supporter and an idiot.This shames me that there are Republicans as ignorant as this, here is his observation about Democrats from door to door campaigning:

I don’t know who I’m voting for. I don’t even know if I will vote at all… I’m sure this makes me an idiot or an asshole in the eyes of many.
Yup, I think you’re an idiot.
Democrats and Republicans have opposite viewpoints on abortion, gay rights, gun control, the death penalty, sex education, immigration, affirmative action, and the role of religion in schools. It’s...

New York Times, October 17, 2008: Op-Ed by Warren Buffett
The financial world is a mess, both in the United States and abroad. Its problems, moreover, have been leaking into the general economy, and the leaks are now turning into a gusher. In the near term, unemployment will rise, business activity will falter and headlines will continue to be scary.
So … I’ve been buying...

Fatal Decision is CollegeHumor’s new office action series. Written & directed by Sam and starring Pat, it combines the absurdity of the “Hardly Working” series with the production values of CHTV. Plus, I play a terrorist named Osama Boob Goblin.
My greatest CHTV role to date. Two cameos, so watch to the end. Such an honor!

My Favorite Debate Moment

MODERATOR: Governor Palin, since you clearly get uncomfortable when you don’t have a scripted answer for a given question, instead choosing to talk about taxes and energy during completely unrelated discussions about mortgages and health care, perhaps you’d like to take a moment to act like a condescending kindergarten teacher on nitrous oxide and treat the American people like a...
