Chicago?
So, if you or anyone you know is moving to Chicago or moving within Chicago, please check out my sister's condo. She's got a 2-BR unit, and she's looking to rent the second bedroom. There's a craigslist post here.

Palin, again
There's been some concern that because of my defense of Palin's college photo with the inappropriate photo, I support her candidacy. Let me clear that up right now.
I think she's an awful pick, and I won't vote for her. Terrible. Terrible. No way.
I just think that there are better reasons to oppose her than an ignorant shirt she wore 20 years ago.

crazies
Hey, can someone give me any sort of accurate number as to how many protesters there were in Denver, how many were arrested, and what kind of violence was involved (either by the protesters or by the police)? Also, is there a place where we can find the same information about the RNC in St. Paul?
Amy Goodman arrested and Donna Brazile pepper-sprayed in St. Paul? Really?
I heard they were going to exhume Pope John Paul II, bring him to St. Paul, and then beat him with billy clubs.
Also, were any of arrests in Denver of people who were press or bystanders? What's wrong with St. Paul?

well, soon-to-be grandmother, in any case
Okay, so the new baby is Palin's, since Bristol is currently pregnant, and therefore couldn't have given birth so recently. So, Palin isn't guilty of any sort of weirdo coverup; instead, she's just proven the effectiveness of an abstinence-only sex education policy.
On to the violence and unlawful arrests in St. Paul. Amy Goodman, the host of Democracy Now (one of the great lefty radio programs) was arrested, along with two of her producers, at a demonstration in St. Paul. There's a video of Amy's arrest. All she appears to be doing is talking to the police when they decide to arrest her. I've been listening to Amy for a few years now, and she's very mild-mannered and cordial. I find it hard to believe that she was inciting riot at all... Apparently, Amy's arrest was part of a group of 100 arrests. I guess that's the new crowd control method in the Twin Cities: lock all the lefties up.

Sarah Palin, grandmother
There's some significant conjecture and evidence coming around, saying that Sarah Palin is not the mother of her youngest child. That honor, apparently, belongs to Gov. Palin's daughter Bristol (who is, I believe, 17). You can check out links here and here.
From a family perspective, I don't really care. If it's true, then it's a family issue, and I don't have a problem with a mother trying to protect her daughter. Bristol went and got herself pregnant, and now Gov. Palin is trying to let her daughter have a normal life. That would be a family matter, and it's no business of mine.
Of course, this is far from a family affair. Who can really separate the mother in Sarah Palin (ie caring for her daughter and grandson) from Governor Palin (who needs to show a strong family with good conservative values)? If this is true, then it's another step in an increasing list of questionable behavior on the part of the Governor, including the investigation into abuse of power as governor and the near recall of her as mayor of Wasilla. Is she really this ruthless and conniving? Isn't this kind of secretive and vindictive behavior what we're already used to in the White House? Outside of changing the gender and dropping 20 years off of the VP, how is this any different from Cheney? She allegedly fired those Wasilla city employees because they woudn't support her run for reelection; do I hear the cries of US Attorneys in my mind?
