Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
And now for your daily dose of links:
-Crooks and Liars has a nice roundup of McCain/Palin hijinks in the last few days, including: Letterman calling McCain out for lying about not being able to appear on Late Night, McCain's desire to postpone the VP debate (hmmm, could that have been his goal all along?), one veteran lets McCain know that troops don't get a time out because of financial crises, Palin can't give examples of McCain's "pro-regulation" votes aside from McCain/Feingold campaign finance reform (hint: there are none), McCain's past acumen in terms of economics ("I’m not…I’m not…I don’t have that kind of expertise to know exactly whether [Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke] has cut interest rates suffiently or not. I’m glad that whenever they cut interest rates. I wish interest rates were zero."), and McCain didn't really suspend his campaign (and in fact had talking points in place regarding the "suspension" - how is that not campaigning?).
-Did anyone else get/see this Nigerian Scam-esque email? Fantastic.
-Rush Limbaugh: thinking up new ways to be racist all the time!
-A vote for Palin is a vote for a witch-hunter anointed candidate. But seriously, let the woman speak, already.
-McCain's Chicago Machine ad has pissed of the Daleys.
-If you're a student wondering how to vote, check this out. And even if you're not a student, do make sure you're registered to vote. There's still time to register.
-Also, happy Singles Week! Just what I need, a week devoted to telling me how I'm marginalized in society for not being paired off.
-Finally, the first U.S. Chocolate Academy just opened in Chicago. Where do I sign up to test class projects?

Ah join the club ... not to mention that all my friends appear to be coupled at the moment!
Seriously, this is all enough to make a queer chick paranoid about herself. I mean, I have a high degree of self-confidence, but we all have our limits ... erk.
Not that you have to be partnered by any stretch, but seriously, how you haven't been snapped up by an awesome someone is beyond me.
Why don't you meet up with me at Panic tonight (I sent you a mass email about it)? Friends, booze, good music - these are the weapons with which we fight things like "Singles Week". :)
But yes, I agree, the world must just suck, it's the only explanation. Here's a thing, if we're both still single in 10 years, I'll marry you, because by that time it should be universally available :)
I'm recording the debate tonight, and then I'm going to hole up tomorrow and watch.
