From the Comments:
Beazley says: Is there or is there not some question as to the status of Georgia’s sovereignty? Like HUGE gaping questions even more open to interpretation than questions asked in the past about the sovereignty of say Taiwan or The Philippines or whoever the fuck actually owns Kashmir?
The Yes Man says: Yes. Let us all discuss serious thing.
Let’s.
Yes.
The worst, worst, worst: Over the weekend, Sen. Barack Obama decided not to hire Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill as his running mate, opting instead for Sen. Joe Biden. Tonight, she gets 10 minutes to speak to the Democratic National Convention, where she will introduce Michelle Obama to a crowd of about 21,000. All of which is fine, but to totally change the subject, what I’m actually very satisfied and happy about is the current lack of unfunny, Dave Barry-esque pseudo-humorists “declaring” their “candidacy” for “president,” a joke so totally FAIL that you’d think Joel Stein and Lore Sjöberg and Danielle Crittenden would all be simultaneously campaigning for the Unfunny President of FART. So apparently we’ve solved that problem, just like global warming, and now we need to tackle “I APPROVED THIS MESSAGE” because it is a totally unacceptable substitute for funny, and now it appears every two years, like the Olympics.
After the jump, Mayor Mark Funkhouser totally loses the thread, apparently willfully, plus: My summertime mojitos recipe! Click here, or on Joel Stein’s version of Oblique Strategies, the remote-controlled fart machine:
