Only in America

Channel surfing, I stumbled across the good governor of Alaska giving a pep rally speech, which was basically the same speech she gave yesterday, and I suddenly had the sense I was watching Sandra Bullock in a comedy. In this comedy, McCain wins, shortly thereafter has a heart attack and dies, and the good governor of Alaska becomes president in the midst of simultaneous crises with Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan ... you get the picture. In the movie, of course, she rises to become a true statesman and saves America from all bad guys on the planet. She ends up on Mt. Rushmore.

I think this election campaign is going to get very surreal. I think it's also going to make me cry.
