  How does Palin's treatment compare with that of the past. In the previous election, when the current incumbent (GW) still had some credibility (or certain elements of the GOP had the main-stream media by the short-and-curlies), his opponent (John Kerry) was pretty much in the firing line. If you remember,…

  This is boring. As I have said many times, I cannot get past the feeling that McCain has been shafted by his own party and its selection of Palin as his running mate. Talk about putting a ball and chain around his leg. Isn't there anybody else for VP in…

  Blame the foreigners down in Kabukicho - If the police waste time following that lead, next they will be arresting people for killing avatars in online games.

  Anyway, the perp here is jumping the gun here a bit. Everybody knows that US$1 million bills don't exist. The US might be…

  I also saw the news this morning. Apparently COOP private-label noodles have a similar problem. The COOP product was produced in Japan, however, I don't know where the ingredients came from. Giving the retail price of these products, it is safe to assume that product inputs come from the lowest-priced…

  To understand why nobody wants the job, you have to understand that Japan did not follow the plot at the last WBC. Given the level of support offered by the MLB, and the fact that the finals were held in the US, the storyline was for a middling US team…

  So she breaks into PC account and does some damage. Yes, I can appreciate that is a crime. However, what was damaged? And avatar? Is this the local cops answer to Internet crime, arresting somebody because they killed a game character? I would love to see the shift sheet at…

  Just a very general comment, however, isn't this all very asinine? For a country that has a lock on so much that can be admired, when it comes to politics it is kids battling in a sandbox.

  Jokes aside, a serious question to ask is at what point does lampooning…

  Wonder if Palin has kept the clothes tags and receipts so she can return the clothing after the election (on her way back to Canada, sorry Alaska). Moreover, what is the situation with politicans doing product placements like in the movies. This could be another area through while to raise…

  Have to agree with some of the other folks here, is this really a story? If the McCain/Palin campaign is really as dead in the water as the mainstream press likes to tell us, what is the issue here? Moreover, aren't there more important issues to discuss than what Palin…
