And also, "Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble..."

I think the only thing that worries me now, is the counting of the votes. I found Sarah's performance completely indefensible. Charming, but pathetic. Well-spoken, but ill-informed. Let's be honest: she'd make a fine talk show host, but a very poor Vice President. Frankly, what sounded like her own opinion (as opposed to the talking points she so obviously parroted, or the vapid rhetorical "folksy"crap she tossed off) did not sound at all like what we hear from McCain. I think she is so poorly informed that she thinks she's a Republican because she likes their soundbites, when in fact her views (excepting those regarding her faith) are predominantly Democratic. Democrats take care of people after all, and her idea of herself as agent of government seems to be that of Mother, "taking care of things." On the other hand, she struck me as the perfect 21st century fascist's poppet: far too willing to let herself be used to subvert the Constitution ("take care of things" like Dick Cheney does), turning the government against the people in the process.

On an entirely unrelated note (of course, of course), pay no attention to that man behind the curtain or his radiological effects.
What worries me more is the likelihood of them just hiring that job out to Halliburton.

In 1283, Prince Dafydd ap Gruffydd, of Gwynedd in Wales, became the first notable person in recorded history to be executed by being drawn and quartered.

In 1789, George Washington declared that November 26 would be the National Thanks-giving Day.
In 1863, Abraham Lincoln designated the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day, a national holiday (then in 1941 but not on this day, at the urging of President Roosevelt, Congress moved the holiday to the fourth Thursday in November).

In 1955, Captain Kangaroo premiered.

And in 1973, Eddie Webb was 'buzzed' by a UFO on a highway near Cape Girardeau, Missouri. In the driving mirror of his tractor-trailer rig he saw the rapid approach of a silvery, spinning, humming, 'turnip-shaped' thing 30 feet in diameter, which shone a beam of light at his rear wheel. Looking out his window, he was blinded by the beam. He was hospitalized for a week, and afterwards started legal proceedings to get workman's compensation, but couldn't prove the legal existence of the UFO.
