It’s now the first of October…

September 30, 2008

We’re officially in October.  Or as New Yorkers now refer to it – football season.

There are rumors that Sarah Palin is prepping for the debate by reading Wikipedia.  But today she joked about Joe Biden’s age.  Apparently she hasn’t yet read the entry about her running mate.

Sarah Palin also said of Biden “I’ve been hearing about his speeches since I was in the second grade.”  Second grade?  Impressive.  Wonder when she heard about his speeches?   Presumably listening to the radio while looking out the window for Russia?

 

There’s a new election scandal (true) in Canada.  The Liberal party just figured out now that Prime Minister Stephen Harper gave a speech in 2003 copied almost word for word from Australia’s Prime Minister John Martin?

Five years after the fact?  Who’s running their campaign anyway, former U.S. employees of FEMA?


And early voting began Tuesday in Ohio, making citizens of the state the first to cast ballots for the next president.  Well, considering the Browns, Bengals, Indians and Reds, guess it’s fair that Ohio is first in SOMETHING.

A new polls indicates that 70 percent of Americans now disapprove of George W. Bush.   And four percent had no opinion.    Which is shocking news.  26 percent still back him?

Now that the regular season is (almost) over…

Who knew that the biggest difference between the Yankees and Mets would turn out to be that the Yankees got a one week head start on choosing tee-times?

And what kind of a year has it been for Chicago vs. New York?  Let’s see, Obama, the Cubs and White Sox still competing.  Hillary, Rudy, the Yankees and the Mets all watching at home.

Sarah Palin has borrowed Hillary Clinton’s phrase about putting cracks in the glass ceiling.  But realistically, after some of her interviews, if the glass ceiling were made of ice, Governor Palin would be the Zamboni.

A man was arrested last week on the field at Dodger Stadium for impersonating a Los Angeles Dodgers player.   In related news, members of the Mets bullpen have been arrested for impersonating major league pitchers.
