This is such a sad story. A man commits suicide with a gun and his heart is given to a stranger. The man with the new heart ends up divorcing his wife and marries the widow of the man who's heart he has beating in his chest. Later he too takes a gun to his head and ends his life, making the woman whom the same heart has loved two times a widow again. Twisted, eh?
The first thing that popped into my head when I saw the news "McCain chooses Palin", on Yahoo was a "mental" picture of "Michael" Palin as Mr. Gumby from Monty Python. I had never even heard of Sarah Palin. I think this pair I've created in Photoshop is a much better team in the bid for the White House anyway. My Brain hurts!
Biden is OK, but he’s just not Hillary Clinton Scrappy Joe from Scranton, sensing a lack of personality would hurt against Palin, goes for the full Hillary CHANGE.
Democrats leave Denver with Nagging Doubts about their candidate's viability in November. Especially now, with Sarah Palin's nomination.. the Democrats, by stressing identity politics for so long, are now set to be hoisted on their own retard.
