Finally, an explanation for Sarah Palin's poor performance in the Couric interview: she was actually rapping and we didn't even know it. "Yes, alright...

Likely most of the media will call the vice-presidential debate for Joe Biden. But Sarah Palin is that voice small town America has been yearning for, and her voice's reach, beyond the current election, has yet to be measured.

As the economy collapses and political scandals keep flaring up like bad rashes, where should America turn for answers? What's going to keep us from falling apart? The answer: laughter.

In one of the most watched Vice Presidential Debates, Sarah Palin tanked. So why is everyone saying she did better than expected?

Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro had ideas you could disagree with. But Sarah Palin is perky and inscrutable at once, you betcha. She talks. We listen but we have no idea what's been said.

Glory, glory, they agreed that gay and lesbian partners should have the rights of other citizens. Partners should be counted as family in work benefits and hospital visits. If you're over 40, you probably never thought you'd see such agreement in an election.

Thursday night we were treated to a nationally broadcast recital of everything Sarah Palin learned over the past five weeks (or five days).

Even if Sarah Palin was an unassailable paragon (and she isn't), I would still find it inappropriate to see her on a Rosie the Riveter poster because to change it is to adulterate it.

Amid the flood of revelations of biblical proportions about Sarah Palin, which seems destined to last for at least 40 days and 40 nights, here is an item that might not be receiving the focus that it merits.

Well, kinda, it does matter. Because knowing and caring about the cause of a problem help us determine the solution -- whether it's climate change or anything else that affects our country. Right?

One of the highest offices in our country could be held by someone who doesn't even know anything the Supreme Court of the United States has ever done, other than Roe v. Wade.

Because Thursday's format allows for very little give-and-take between Palin and Joe Biden, her "values"-oriented debating style stands a good chance of succeeding.

It was discovered yesterday that the McCain campaign owns voteforthemilf.com. The URL was purchased via the McCain campaign's Go Daddy account, and the campaign is not denying ownership at this point.

There are all kinds of ironies in this election, especially concerning Sarah Palin's nomination as the vice presidential candidate for the Republican Party.

Calm down, folks -- I guarantee that Sarah Palin's performance on Thursday will be coherent and articulate. Why? Has everyone forgotten Bush's first debate?

Mrs. Palin can practically see Russia from her house and, in an amazing coincidence, I can practically see the Swiss Embassy from mine.

Senator Biden has met and discussed policies with three UN Secretaries General, one queen, several kings, plus a few tough guys like Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and Serbian president Sloban Milosevic.

Some women invoke their gender to conceal their personality flaws, excuse factually inaccurate or downright dishonest statements, and play the victim card when the need be.

We will probably conclude that the tanking of the economy was the prime reason why McCain lost this election. But we should also blame ourselves and the media for taking our eye off the ball.

Some of our national parks would be good candidates to sell at fire sale prices to developers who contribute to the McCain-Palin ticket. Do I hear $50 million for Yellowstone?

Why the secrecy? Why try so hard to cover up your e-mail trail? What exactly is Gov. Palin trying to hide?
