This report pretty much echoes my own sentiment after watching Palin last night. She's a great little Teleprompter reader, and she reads the stand-up comedy one-liners fed to her by the McCain speech writing team like a champ, but other than her ability to smirk on cue there wasn't much to brag about in her speech - just 'more of the same' attack lines, interspersed with 'more of the same' applause lines.

By the way... Sen. Steven's $225 m."bridge to nowhere" which was voted in...is a done deal unless those darn tree huggers can make their case that it it will disrupt a whale nursury...(google it yourself)
Remember ALL pork must pass the Republican majority..
and if earmarks don't invole stem cells..no Bush veto

I have an idea: let's add up all the earmarks, divide 'em up by party, and whoever supports the party with the highest cash value in earmarks will QUIT THE BLOGOSPHERE, whattayasay? Hah?

Okay, full disclosure: I am a registered member of the Free Love/Cheap Beer Party (FLCBP). Indeed, I am that party's chief luminary -- its Churchill, its Mao, its Pat Boone -- and I can only lose such a contest. Our People have never been connected with congressional earmarks -- at least not in the role of "beneficiariy."
Thought you had to know.
