• Re: Palin's wardrobe: "For all this, the funny part is that there's really not that much to say." [Jezebel]

• The good news? Michelle Bachmann can devote more time to persuing the real anti-Americans: "The National Republican Congressional Committee has pulled out of Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann's district." [Politico]

• Or, you know, make 'em run for president: "I’m proposing we take all the seemingly washed-up old geezers sucking at society’s teat like wrinkled old leaches and put them on some remote island. There, they would compete for survival in a format not un-like the popular television program Survivor, only there would be no challenge rewards, medical assistance, or immunity. Just old men and women working together to battle time and Mother Nature, reliving their glory days in some treacherous tropical paradise." [Schrute-Space]

• I quite frankly thought this was a spoof. Then Bill Burton sent it to me: "Man, this is more important than politics!" he insisted. "This is football!" [ESPN]

• Obama's shoes are three or four pages down -- they have holes in them -- but that is not by any stretch the most telling picture here. [Callie Shell]

• Issues! "Almost two-thirds (64%) of the public heard a lot about "Joe the plumber" and another one-in-four heard a little about him." [Pew]
