Brain Vapor Lock

I apologize for not yet posting an update to the "Cold Civil War" post. It's been a combination of ADD, being busy and not feeling well. Every time I get some thoughts together, a new absurdity or outrage emerges as this whole election enters the homestretch. The craziness and WTFness of this election is making me feel like I'm living in the bearded Spock universe.

Anyway, until I get my you-know-what together, how about some humor and then some music.

First, the always brilliant and funny Iowahawk satirizes snotty pseudo-conservatives (specifically, the douchy Christopher Buckley) who think Sarah Palin is oh-so-declasse and who've gone all gushy for Obama: As a Conservative, I Must Say I Do Quite Like the Cut of this Obama Fellow's Jib. Here's one of my favorite lines:

Even Peggy Noonan -- the Grand Dame of Gipperism -- has succumbed to Obama's undeniable conservative charms. Just last month I listened to her wax poetic about the Adonis of Chicago between chukkers at the Newport Club polo tournament final. "Why Peggy, you old dowager," I quipped, "I believe you just had an orgasm."

Next, a cool song from my childhood. I was really surprised when I watched this video because I always thought a woman sang this song:

The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - "Jackie Blue"

I think this song is just pure fun. I also like that the video makes fun of American Idol:

The Dollyrots - "Because I'm Awesome"

Finally, the fantastic Sugarplastic with an appropriate song for the season:

The Sugarplastic - "Autumn All the Time"
