You can't make this stuff up.

That is what I have felt like for the past two or three weeks, between watching the DNC and the RNC, watching the Sarah Palin effect sweep mainstream media coverage, and watching both Sarah and John McCain lie their faces off (and eventually be called out by media for doing so-thanks for upholding that promise for a dignified, respectful campaign John). Most of this political news is, yes, too sensational to make up.

Every day I almost start a blog about some happening in election politics, but honestly, things move too fast and furious for me to keep up, and there are plenty of professional bloggers out there who can keep pace.

What I am really enjoying (and at times, loathing) are the comments made on these blog postings. My favorite so far today, in regards to reports that Sarah Palin will meet with foreign leaders at a UN meeting next week:

Then after she goes to the UN for an hour to “meet foreign leaders” and establish her security/foreign policy credentials, McCain will take her to a hospital, so she can establish her “health care” credentials; then they will go out in the street and meet a whole bunch of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians to check off the “diversity” credentials; then they can ride the subway for one stop to clarify her “infrastructure” credentials; and then, finally, she can use her ATM card at a bank branch down on Wall Street so she can demonstrate her expertise on the financial markets. I swear you can’t make this up.

I agree, gentle reader, I agree. You just couldn't make this up.
