Constant Readers,
Yesterday, I spoke at the City Club about local politics, state politics and general gossip. It was a blast and I met lots of great people. Many thanks to them for having me!
On to the fun!
One of my friends sent me this video. The accompanying note said "soundbite heaven" and I wasn't sure what that was supposed to mean. Until I saw it. Here it is. Wow! It's a tragic story but I can't deny that the quotes are inadvertently hilarious.
In local politics, Scott Wiener announced his candidacy for District 8 Supervisor via YouTube. Nice! Here's the video!
So, Sarah Palin resigned from office because people were being mean to her and she's too much of a patriot to let that continue. Or something like that. Here are the guys from Red State update explaining this brilliance.
And on the subject of Palin, here's a really funny video envisioning an event planner truly angered at this development.
Objections to the Iranian elections made widespread use of social networking. What if Ahmadinejad were tweeting too? Here's a look.
On the non-political side, here are Match.com ads for the "parents" on John and Kate Plus 8.
Here's Kate:
And John.
You may have heard about this one. Musician goes on United Airlines and watches in horror from the window as the baggage handlers throw shit around, breaking his guitar. Though some folks at the airline admitted it was their fault, he wasn't able to get anyone to pay him for the damage. So he wrote a song that anyone who has been jerked around by an airline (read: everyone) can relate to.
And finally, a moment of wonderful to send you off into the weekend. My mother will love this one. It will remind her of the years she spent waking me up for school. I hereby apologize.
Have a great weekend!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Scott Penis will lose for no other reason than because of his name. That and he's boring as fuck. He'll get a second place endorsement from the DCCC because members will feel obligated to throw him a bone because they don't want to make things awkward.
... and you are beautifulicious, Georgia Peach.
