Once again, I don't care who you're voting for, you gotta watch this interview with Matt Damon, where he makes the point that, well, he's done the actuary tables (really?) and determined that John McCain has a one in three chance of kicking the bucket at some point during the next four years. This will put, as he so eloquently phrases it, a hockey mom from Alaska "facing down Vladimir Putin ... using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink."
He also said that he doesn't "understand why more people aren't talking about how absurd it is."
Uh, Matt?
Are you living in this country right now?
We don't really talk about much besides Sarah Palin these days.
I have some campaign suggestions for Barack Obama. If you want to take some of the steam out of the McCain engine, stop wasting your breath trying to discredit the woman politically and just give Lindsay Lohan an eight-ball. Sit Nicole Richie down for a few shots of tequila and make sure she has the keys to her car. Get Mary-Kate Olsen some quality time with Benji Madden. Steal all of Britney Spears' underwear.
For Christsake, give us anything else to talk about right now. />

Heh.
Apparently the Republicans have gotten into the habit of blaring Heart's "Barracuda" -- which I rock on in Guitar Hero, btw -- in reference to Sarah Palin. This is a problem for the girls of Heart, who basically hate everything Sarah Palin stands for.
They emailed the McCain/Palin campaign on Thursday afternoon, asking that they no longer use their song, but then it was played again on Thursday night.
"The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission," said their initial email to the campaign. When it was still played, Nancy Wilson called Entertainment Weekly to vent. "I think it's completely unfair to be so misrepresented. I feel completely fucked over," she said. She and her sister Ann then emailed this statement to EW.com: "Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late '70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."
Ouch. />

Eh, you have to admit, she's quite likable when she's talking, and she's got that whole adorable Tina Fey look going on and that cute little Alaskan accent.
Another observation: between Bristol "Juneau" Palin and her hottie boyfriend, Meghan and Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin's hot librarian look, this has gotta be one of the most physically attractive Presidential tickets in the history of the United States. I mean, the Obama camp has Michelle, who is admittedly quite beautiful, but can she really hold up all alone against the sheer photogenicism of the McCain/Palin ticket? I can't help but think that McCain must have taken all this into consideration as he was choosing Palin -- the McCain and Palin families standing together, well, they sure do look pretty.
And I have to make yet another observation -- I know many (not all!) of you are fond of getting chatty in the comments about how I should stay away from politics because I don't know anything about it. And I'll happily admit to the latter. I don't know much about politics at all. But you know what, motherfuckers? I'm an adult citizen of the United States who has never been convicted of a felony (thanks to my awesome lawyers!!) and my totally uninformed ass can march to the polling center and vote however I damn well want, and it will count every bit as much as Bill Clinton's or Karl Rove's or your vote in the general election. And you know what else, motherfuckers? Most people in this country know even less about politics than I do. They have their opinions -- either deeply or loosely held -- about things like gay marriage and stem cell research and the war in Iraq and Roe v. Wade or whatever, but, when it comes down to it, they understand the short- and long-reaching impact of economic and foreign and domestic policy decisions even less than I do. But you know what's super duper funny? Their vote counts! Yes! It does! Just as much as yours, Mr. Genius Political Ingenue Who Occasionally Enjoys Leaving Unpleasant Comments on Celebrity Gossip Blogs.
So, frankly, the fact that my understanding of politics -- or lack thereof -- is representative of the majority of Americans actually makes my opinions more valuable than the opinions of people who know big words and important-sounding phrases and statistics and history and read The Economist and whatnot. Because I'm going to make my decision based entirely on what I see and hear and think on the surface, because I'm not equipped with the economic, historical or international framework to delve a whole lot deeper than that. And that makes me unique among American voters only to the extent that I am willing to admit that publicly. That's kind of one of the grotesque beauties of politics in a functional democracy: I don't have to know what I'm talking about for my opinion to matter more than the people who do know what they're talking about.
I'm just saying. />

Before she was John McCain's out-of-the-blue VP pick, Sarah Palin (nee Heath) was a sportscaster in Alaska. This clip is a riot. You know you've really made it when you're reporting on the Iditarod. God, did anyone else have to read that book in, like, third grade about the little boy who had this amazing dog and they ran the Iditarod and then the dog died like ten feet from the finish line and the big scary Indian picked up the dog and carried it across the finish line? Okay I don't even remember the name of the book but my eyes are welling up with tears just thinking about it. And sorry to ruin the ending if you're a third-grader reading this. Actually, if you're a third-grader reading this, go get your mom and tell her I said she ought to pay closer attention to what you're doing on the Internet. You know what? Don't bother. She's probably too busy drafting an angry letter to her Congressman about how Miley Cyrus isn't doing an acceptable job of raising you.
What was I talking about?
Oh, right. Sarah Palin.
Now people are murmuring that her youngest child is not actually hers, but rather a kiddo her daughter popped out -- out of wedlock, of course. Talk amongst yourselves.
Thanks Chelsea! />

Lindsay and Samantha may not have openly come out as a couple yet, but they're already issuing joint press releases, using the PR rep of choice among young Hollywood's elite: MySpace blogs.
They've taken time out of their busy schedules to remind people that you don't have to have, ya know, a Princeton education to realize that Sarah Palin's an idiot. Tutoring on the set of Disney films is really all it takes.
UH OH!
Current mood: shocked

Hey, have you seen the video of Charlie Gibson interviewing VP candidate Sarah Palin?
No?
You can watch it here.
And, like, yes, it is painfully obvious that this woman is laughably unqualified to run the United States. Charlie Gibson asks her about the Bush Doctrine, codified in 2002, and she clearly has no idea what he's talking about, and he rubs that in. He uses big words like "existential" and "hubris" and she clearly has no idea what those words mean, although she does a decent job of interpreting them...
I'm in the gym tonight, jogging away on the treadmill (going on two months smoke-free, woot woot!!! I can JOG!!!) and I have my iPod on and I'm blasting my music, but the guy running next to me has the TV tuned to CNN. And I can't hear anything they're saying, but they're obviously talking about Sarah Palin. And they're just showing clip after clip after clip of her hitting the campaign trail with McCain. Smiling, waving, holding her baby, embracing her daughters, looking sisterly with Cindy McCa...
"I just got off the phone with Lynne. I can tell you that she hasn't sent her any gifts, but that she does support Sarah and, of course, can empathize with their situation," says Curt Handling, Spears' publicist at the Thomas Nelson publishing company.
This is contrary to news reports that circulated yesterday that Jamie-Lynn and Co. had sent a bunch of baby shit from Petit Tresor to Bristol Palin.
How would any of the Spears clan have time to send anything to Bristol Palin? They're al...
A spokesperson for Petit Tresor is reporting that teen mom Jamie-Lynn Spears wanted to give Bristol Palin a little support while she's taking heat these days.
The 17-year-old “Zoey 101†star and new mom sent a gift of $60 pink burp cloths to the pregnant, unwed, 17-year-old daughter of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin -- and along with it, a message of teen mom solidarity.
A spokesperson for Petit Tresor, the Los Angeles baby boutique from which the gift was bought, told AB...
Despite rumors that Sarah Palin's youngest child is actually her grandchild, Sarah Palin today admitted that her 17-year-old unwed daughter, Bristol, is five months preggers.
"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of r...
