As if the fact that it's Friday wasn't glorious enough, we get to laugh at morons all day.
As of 9am,
Ashley Todd's story of being mugged for supporting a republican ticket was only just beginning to raise eyebrows. Todd alleged she was attacked by a big BLACK half man/half ghoul (Happy Halloween!), who beat her once he noticed her McCain/Palin bumper sticker. First off, honey, black people can't read. Didn't you know that? Plus, what black man is going to go into a politically motivated rage while robbing you? Finally, why would he/it take the time to carve a backwards "B" into your cheek? Oh, oh, and black people don't rob people with pocket knives this side of 1977. That's just a fact.
And so, here's the prescient statement made by the FUCKING VP OF FOX NEWS:
"[This] incident could become a watershed event in the 11 days before the election. If Ms. Todd’s allegations are proven accurate, some voters may revisit their support for Senator Obama, not because they are racists (with due respect to Rep. John Murtha), but because they suddenly feel they do not know enough about the Democratic nominee. If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain’s quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.”Please read

We get to
hear Joe McCain (John McCain's brother) call 911 because he's stuck in traffic. Then, fall in love with the 911 operators that try to explain to him why he's ridiculous...more than once. Oh, and we also get to listen to his self-important mailbox greeting about being involved in some kind of important family political project...to
RUIN the republican party and his brother's legacy. What a freaking douchebag!
AND -
Palin joked about fruit fly research in her policy speech today, but no one told her that geneticists learn a great deal about humans by studying the
drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly)! When I took AP bio, we studied fruit flies for an entire course section to understand genetic trends and learn about DNA testing. Someone definitely should have told her about the fruit fly/autism connection. Did you know that, as a result of fruit fly research, scientists at UNC Chapel Hill discovered that
a protein called neurexin is necessary for the creation of functional nerve cell connections? If not, that's okay - neither did the republican vice presidential candidate.
ALSO TOO -
Someone found a quote from Joe Lieberman where he,
like Joe Biden, pretends to be Nostradamus and warns that
our enemies will test McCain in the first year of the presidency...back in June. I think it's probably time for McCain to stop airing
the attack ad where they use Biden's almost identical quote about Obama to scare people away from voting for an Arab terrorist!
