mccain's pick shows he knows he's already lost
he had a choice:

(a) be a historical footnote for losing with nothing to show for it, or
(b) be a historical footnote for losing but being the first republican to choose a female running mate.

he chose (b).
consolation prize.
thank you for playing.

7. interesting...
I came into this world as a reject
Look into these eyes then you'll
See the size of the flames (the size of the)
Dwellin' on the past (past)
It's burnin' in my brain (hot)
Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain
Hey I think about the day (days)
My girlie ran away with my pay
When fella's came to (play)
play now she's stuck with my homeez that she fucked (ooh)
and i'm just a sucker with a lump in my
throat (hey)
like a chump (hey)
a like a chump (hey)
like a chump (hey)
like a chump (hey)
a like a chump (hey)
like a chump (hey)
like a chump (hey)

should i be feelin' bad (no)
should i be feelin' good (no)
it's kinda sad i'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood
hey you would think that i'd be movin' on (movin')
but i'm a sucker like i said
fucked up in the head not
an' maybe she just made a mistake
and i should give her a break
my heart'll ache either way
hey what the hell what you want me to say
i won't lie that i can't deny

(chorus) (2x)
i did it all for the nookie (come on) the nookie (come on)
so you can take that cookie and stick it up your (yeah)
stick it up your (yeah) stick it up your (yeah)
stick it up your

why did it take so long
why did i wait so long huh
to figure it out but i didn't
and i'm the only one underneath the sun who didn't get it
i can't believe that i could be decieved (but you were)
by my so-called girl but in reality
had a hidden agenda
she put my tender heart in a blender
and still i surrendered

they'll tell you just let it go (let it go) it's easier said than done

(i appreciate it) i appreciate it i do but just leave me alone

(leave me alone) leave me alone (leave me alone) just leave me alone

and nothing's gonna change 'cause you can go away and i'm just gonna stay here and always be the same (3x)
i'm just gonna staaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy

(chorus) (2x)

9. Damn, I hope you're right.
The stakes in this election just went up a thousandfold for me. Obama *must* win.

11. agreed. it makes mclame's age and health an issue we can actually talk about now
it might have been unseemly and risky to rail against his age (a lot of old people vote)
but now you can do it out of genuine concern because of HIS CHOICE as would-be successor.
