Sarah Palin meets the Queen of England…

October 3, 2008

I have no connection to Saturday Night Live, or a comic troupe, alas…

But nonetheless, here is an imagined conversation between Governor Sarah Palin and Queen Elizabeth II of England.   (imagined with Tina Fey as Sarah and Kristin Whig as the Queen.)

Great to meetcha.  Can I call you Liz?  Are you a hockey mom too?

Swell house.  Yes, I’d love tea. You betcha. You know, we have English Breakfast Tea at my house.

John has told me that you guys have been such a big help in Iraq.   And we just can’t wave the white flag of surrender. I mean, just because we are trying to control a country across the ocean that doesn’t want us there…   Did I mention that John McCain and I are Mavericks?
 
And I brought you a present.  It’s a wolf I shot that I found on your lawn.  I even field dressed it for you.   But, gosh, your English wolves have short legs.  A Corgi?  No, what’s that?  Oh, terribly sorry Liz.  Say it ain’t so.  Dog-gone.

A silver lining in Chicago….

October 3, 2008

Apparently the city of Chicago has directed bars and restaurants near Wrigley Field to stop serving alcohol after the seventh inning of any Cubs potential series clinching home playoff games. 

Does this really need a punchline?

And when asked about Barack Obama’s new lead in the polls, John McCain replied “Life isn’t fair.”

So McCain is finally acting presidential.  It’s just that the president is Jimmy  Carter.

Senator McCain’s campaign announced Thursday they were leaving Michigan.  Well, finally, some proof that McCain has an exit strategy.

Most pundits agree that in the debate Sarah Palin met or exceeded expectations.  But have we learned nothing in the last eight years other than maybe we should be setting the bar a LITTLE higher.

A new NBA report found no evidence of illegal activity by any referee other than Tim Donaghy.  Wonder if this report was done by the same people who figured a few years back that baseball’s steroid problem was Barry Bonds.
