Monkey Waiters

Ok, we need to lighten the mood. Watch this video (about 40 seconds in) to see monkees functioning as waiters at a restaurant in Japan. It's pretty remarkable and cute.

Otherwise, it's all doom and gloom. The economy is tanking, a coordinator world-wide rate cut fails to stimulate the plunging stock market, there's less than a month until we elect a new President. It's certainly not an enviable position (i.e., becoming POTUS). Whoever it is is going to have to deal with this economy, the credit crisis, high unemployment, 2 wars, global warming, a huge federal debt. One candidate has virtually no executive experience, and, while the other candidate may be more experienced, he is old, grumpy, uninspired, and has the equivalent of Miss Teen South Carolina as his running mate (and possible replacement President if he should fall ill).

Uggghhhh..................

What is the point of the immature attacks? I mean, really, can't you be a tad more mature? Okay, I agree that I do not want Palin running the show.....but what you wrote is truly condescending towards women. It is quite sexist. I expect better from you. UGGGHHHH......................................

I don't think it is condescending towards women or sexist. Was it condescending towards men to make fun of Quayle or to make fun of Bush?

I am not trying to be sexist. I have nothing against Palin's gender. I have been equally critical of George Bush. McCain could have selected plenty of women who would have had the appropriate experience, intelligence and demeanor for the VP spot: Condoleezza Rice, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Jodi Rell, Elaine Chao, Elizabeth Dole.

I don't care if Sarah Palin was a transvestite. I just want her to speak well and know something about the issues.

If anything it was an insult to Miss Teen South Carolina!

This blog, once highly intellectual, is taking on a tabloid mentality. Cocoa Crisp, you can do better! Show us what you were! Give us the intellect. Next, are we getting Dancing with the Stars fodder?????? I want Cocoa Crisp back, not the new, less flavorful Cocoa!
