Even the sorry-ass Bush clan had the class (?) to keep their youngun’s wedding from becoming a political media event.

These clowns? Not so much.

Like I said, that’s all they have left.

And we liberals mocked the wisdom of a Palin pick! Yes, she brings problems, but she also brings solutions.

I have no doubt, at all, any more, that this event will take place. These are the people who bullied the Alaska legislature, voters in several states, and their own candidate.

They would regard two teenagers as a piece of cake.

Hey, is it true that the brain-damaged nitwit who regularly posts here as “The Truth” is really Bob “Cornfed Wankstain” Owens.

Cos if it were so, that would be, well, kinda sad ….

Worst October Surprise ever.

Step 3. ???

I notice the people gushing over the possibility of a tactically placed wedding don’t care what Bristol and the Fucking Redneck might want. The strain of having strangers stomp through their wedding might cause some tension, but so what? By the time the issues that causes leads to a divorce we’ll have won the election! Family Values, bitches!

Wow. Those people really chow down on the goeducks.

I’m a horrible horrible person.
When the vet rang to report that Harry-cat’s condition was inoperable, my first thought was that at least we could make a teaching moment of it, and further our daughter’s education by staging an autopsy. The Frau Doktorin’s response to this suggestion was unaccountably negative.

Also, if anyone hasn’t seen the SNL-Palin skit yet, here it is.

A bunch of fun parody, and then – boom, about halfway in, almost verbatim excerpts from the real interview. I nearly pissed myself. Fucking brilliant. It goes to show, you really can’t write better comedy than these fools conjure up unintentionally.

Jonah would be content with replacing himself with Wiki software.

It would be more likely to pass a Turing test.

As opposed to Reynolds, who aspires to upload his consciousness into a robot body, Jonah would be content with replacing himself with Wiki software. I reckon he deserves credit for being realistic.

Jonah's doing an update? Maybe someone should let him know he's now in Urban Dictionary.

Gah, I’m sorry I missed the earlier references to the Markov Palin interviewer. Guess I had what my old boss used to call “a blonde moment.”

That second story should be interesting, though.

Two weird Palin items: http://interviewpalin.com/ uses Markov chain-generated reactions to let you conduct your own simulated Palin interview. And this somewhat disturbing article: McCain camp prays for Palin wedding

In the narrowest sense, a stochastic process has the Markov property if the conditional probability distribution of future states of the process, given the present state and all past states, depends only upon the present state and not on any past states, i.e. it is conditionally independent of the past states.

Ironic that the same process that generates ‘fake” Palin responses was similar to the model for calculating risk for financial derivatives.

It would shut down the race for a week.

Because that’s all they have left.

Wow.

Oh. My. God.

The SNL Palin “interview” rules! Never before has the best line come from the real transcript rather than the writers.

Hrrm, listen to song before commenting.

Also, you’re a horrible, horrible person for reminding me how long ago that was.

BRB, gotta tell the kids to get off my lawn.
