Hurricane Bristol hits Minnesota Republicans try to brush off the tempest over Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and turn that other storm in Louisiana into a political prop.
  • Can we talk about the important stuff, please?

    Lay off the kids.

    Obama's right: minor children should not be fodder for political posturing by either side. It was creepy when Limbaugh was taking shots at Chesea, and it's still creepy, no matter who does it.

    I'm sick of all the beside-the-point discussions in this campaign. I want a viable health care system in the country for every American. I want an intact Constitution. I want a president with a track record that shows he/she can do the job, and a veep who can, too, because bad things happen.

    It would be very nice if when a politician does something wrong he/she could just say so and not have it become a national guessing game and mudfight. However, that may be wishing for the impossible, since it's been a while since one has shown that capability.

    I don't care whose baby is whose, who's pregnant, who's been abducted by aliens, who has celebrity buddies, or who had lipo/botox/a nose job/a boob job. I DON'T CARE.

    I do care who lies and who tells the truth, who takes money in exchange for influence, and who thinks habeas corpus is important (or even knows what it is.)

    Please: Health care. The Economy. Foreign Policy. Remember those things?
