Wow, this is pretty amazing, because this does sound like the real deal. Could she really have not gotten this was a joke? I mean, how do you NOT get it after some of these questions? Oh, my God, what happens to us if Putin really puts in a call and he's not pranking her? Scary. MONTREAL — A Quebec comedy duo notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state has reached Sarah Palin, convincing the Republican vice-presidential nominee she was speaking with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Must check this out for the whole "show." She seems very thick, indeed.

So, today Pete and I drove down to The Westminster Mall so we could vote early. However, once we arrived we discovered that the "locations to vote early in Orange County, CA" were, now, closed till election day. BUT -- I made a phone call to the Registrars Office and happily discovered they'd decided to keep the Registrars offices early for voting up to election day and that we could go there this weekend to vote early! So, I'm going to let you know where you can go to do the same thing if you want to beat the lines, avoid stress and snafus and just plain BE DONE WITH IT so that you can spend all election day in front of CNN and MSNBC without having to miss any election results that entire day.

But, I'll never look at another box of Snail Bait the same way, again.

Views from the Mommy Van. This is what I see to and from school every day. It ain't easy to be "blue" in a place as "red" as this. Seriously, you can't imagine the dirty looks I get for wearing my party pride around here in "the OC." And yet, would I remove my pro Obama stickers from my car? Would I not wear my Obama baseball cap? Would I not blog for the "blue" team? No. I have to do this, even if it feels like I'm the only one doing so.

If there was ever still any doubt that this Pro-Obama movement crosses all racial and gender lines, this one humble music video should make this quite clear: Old Time for Obama

"Oh, my gosh! S.O.S!" Kids, guess what? Your parents stink for making you sing this, and...'Barney' wants to chase you down for stealing his song. Seriously, better hide, Irene, because singing this mean song made 'Barney' really, really mad.
