The Associated Press reports that "John McCain tapped little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin," and we giggled because we're that immature.

What we do know about Palin: She's a ...

... Jackets have NOT signed Andrej Meszaros to an offer sheet. I’m not saying we couldn’t use him. We definitely could. But, the team is offering $5 million, and we would have to give up draft picks. There is no way that we are going to do that. It’s just not smart…at least for our hockey club. Portzline seems to think that it is Vancouver. *Update, he got traded to Tampa…this is what I get for not posting my blog post*

baseballcrank.com 8/29/2008 — My take on Obama's speech last night, before it gets completely overshadowed by the McCain VP announcement (if it's indeed Palin, now we know what John McCain wanted for his birthday: Barack Obama's news cycle): 1. Yes, it's hard for me to objectively evaluate a speech of this nature by a Democrat, but I can say this: it wasn't a dud like Kerry in 2004 and wasn't power-mad like Gore in ...

Athletes (Obama) vs. Owners (McCain)
sportsagentblog.com 8/18/2008 — I was not surprised to hear that a large portion of NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB owners support John McCain. If athletes have an incentive to vote Republican based on lower taxes, then owners should be even more inclined to lean to the right, as they are in an even higher tax bracket.

Lessons From President Bartlet: The Only Four Words That Matter About The Choice of Vice President — Quo Vadimus
